15               name: birthdate

DESCRIPTION

28       Creates a multi element containing 3 select menus for the day, month
29       and year.
30
31       A date element named "foo" would result in 3 select menus with the
32       names "foo_day", "foo_month" and "foo_year". The names can instead be
33       overridden by the "name" value in "day", "month" and "year".
34
35       This element automatically merges the input parameters from the select
36       menu into a single date parameter (and doesn't delete the individual
37       menu's parameters).

METHODS

40   default
41       Arguments: DateTime object
42
43       Arguments: $date_string
44
45       Accepts either a DateTime object, or a string containing a date,
46       matching the "strftime" format. Overwrites any default value set in
47       "day", "month" or "year".
48
49   default_natural
50       Arguments: $date_string
51
52           - type: Date
53             default_natural: 'today'
54
55       Accepts a date/time string suitable for passing to "parse_datetime" in
56       DateTime::Format::Natural.
57
58   default_datetime_args
59           - type: Date
60             default_natural: 'today'
61             default_datetime_args:
62               set_time_zone: 'Europe/London'
63
64       Accepts a hashref of method-names / values that will be called on the
65       "default" DateTime object, before the select fields' values are set
66       from it.
67
68   strftime
69       Default Value: "%d-%m-%Y"
70
71       The format of the date as returned by "params" in HTML::FormFu, if
72       "auto_inflate" is not set.
73
74       If "auto_inflate" is used, this is still the format that the parameter
75       will be in prior to the DateTime inflator being run; which is what any
76       Filters and Constraints will receive.

225
226       If "list" is not set, the list is created from the range of "reference
227       - year_less" to "reference + year_plus".

255
256       Not all 3 fields are required. No single field can be used more than
257       once.
258
259   auto_inflate
260       If true, a DateTime Inflator will automatically be added to the
261       element, and it will be given a formatter so that stringification will
262       result in the format specified in "strftime".
263
264       If you require the DateTime Inflator to have a different
265       stringification format to the format used internally by your Filters
266       and Constraints, then you must explicitly add your own DateTime
267       Inflator, rather than using "auto_inflate".
268

CAVEATS

270       Although this element inherits from HTML::FormFu::Element::Block, its
271       behaviour for the methods filter/filters, constraint/constraints,
272       inflator/inflators, validator/validators and transformer/transformers
273       is more like that of a field element, meaning all processors are added
274       directly to the date element, not to its select-menu child elements.
275
276       This element's get_elements and get_all_elements are inherited from
277       HTML::FormFu::Element::Block, and so have the same behaviour. However,
278       it overrides the "get_fields|HTML::FormFu/get_fields" method, such that
279       it returns both itself and its child elements.
