[jifty-devel] 'smart_tag_wrapper' to make creating smarter tags easier

[Edmund von der Burg]

Hello,

I've just committed code to Template::Declare that should make it
easier to create smarter wrappers in the templates - for example the
'form' wrapper. Please see the diff for the details.

  http://svn.jifty.org/index.cgi/jifty/revision/?rev=2989

Using this the 'form' sub in J::V::Declare::Helpers would become:

{
    no warnings qw/redefine/;
    sub form (&) {
        my $code = shift;

        smart_tag_wrapper {
          outs_raw( Jifty->web->form->start(@_) );
          $code->();
          outs_raw( Jifty->web->form->end );
          return '';
        };
    }
}


you could then call it like this (not tested properly):

my $action = ...setup_action..;
with( call => $next, name => "loginbox" ),
  form {
    render_action( $action, [qw(nick password remember)] );
    form_submit( label => 'Login', submit => $action );
  };

and the form->start will get the call and next arguments.


I like it :)


If you think this is good then we can add it to the Jifty code. I've
held off as I don't want to break existing apps and also the version
of T::D would need bumping and the new version set in Makefile.PL

Have a good weekend.

Cheers,
  Edmund.
