SYNOPSIS

This class can be used for fields that need to supply JavaScript code for use by scripts in the form. It will render the value returned by a form's js_code_[field_name] method, or the field's js_code attribute.

  has_field 'user_update' => ( type => 'JavaScript',
     js_code => q`$('#fldId').on('change', myFunction);`
  );

or using a method:

  has_field 'user_update' => ( type => 'JavaScript' );
  sub js_code_user_update {
     my ( $self, $field ) = @_;
     if( $self->something ) {
        return q`$('#fldId').on('change', myFunction);`;
     }
     else {
        return q`$('#otherFldId').on('change', myOtherFunction);`;
     }
  }
  #----
  has_field 'usernames' => ( type => 'JavaScript' );
  sub js_code_usernames {
      my ( $self, $field ) = @_;
      return q`$('#fldId').on('change', myFunction);`;
  }

or set the name of the rendering method:

   has_field 'user_update' => ( type => 'JavaScript', set_js_code => 'my_user_update' );
   sub my_user_update {
     ....
   }

or provide a 'render_method':

   has_field 'user_update' => ( type => 'JavaScript', render_method => \&render_user_update );
   sub render_user_update {
       my $self = shift;
       ....
       return q(
<script type="text/javascript">
  // code here
</script>);
   }
