Changes for version 3.04

  • In addition to the below features, a new Catalyst FormBuilder plugin is available on CPAN, "Catalyst::Plugin::FormBuilder".
  • New $form->prepare() method You can now use "$form->prepare()" to get back an expanded hashref just before "$form->render()" is called. This allows you to use FormBuilder with Catalyst or other frameworks more easily, where the rendering is done elsewhere:
    • my %expansion = $form->prepare;
    • This could be passed directly to, say, Template Toolkit without having to use FormBuilder's Template Toolkit support.
  • New "inflate" option to field() This is used the convert fields on the fly into objects or other values. For example, you could convert a "date" field into a DateTime object. Nice patch from Mark Hedges, check it out.
  • Turkish messages Thanks to Recai Oktas.
  • Added "missing" property for fields This can be queried in templates. To see if a field is missing altogether, you can check "field.missing" or "missing-field" depending on your template engine of choice.
  • Removal of custom "puke" and "belch" FormBuilder now uses "Carp" and @CARP_NOT to handle its errors. As such, you will probably notice some differences in error output. The benefit is that setting "debug" will give you a stack trace on fatal errors.
  • CGI::FormBuilder::Template::Builtin Moved the "render_builtin()" method to the above module, to unify the rendering schemes.
  • New FORMBUILDER_DEBUG environment variable Setting this has the same effect as using the "debug" option.
  • Removal of excess documentation Removed all the stub docs from "Field::*" and "Messages::*" to make CPAN happy.
