NAME

6       HTML::FormFu::Element::ComboBox - Select / Text hybrid
7

SYNOPSIS

9           ---
10           elements:
11             - type: ComboBox
12               name: answer
13               label: 'Select yes or no, or write an alternative:'
14               values:
15                 - yes
16                 - no
17

DESCRIPTION

19       Creates a multi element containing a Select field and a Text field.
20
21       A ComboBox element named "foo" would result in a Select menu named
22       "foo_select" and a Text field named "foo_text". The names can instead
23       be overridden by the "name" value in "select" and "text".
24
25       If a value is submitted for the Text field, this will be used in
26       preference to any submitted value for the Select menu.
27
28       You can access the submitted value by using the ComboBox's name:
29
30           my $value = $form->param_value('foo');
31

METHODS

33   default
34       If the value matches one of the Select menu's options, that options
35       will be selected. Otherwise, the Text field will use the value as its
36       default.

CAVEATS

72       Although this element inherits from HTML::FormFu::Element::Block, its
73       behaviour for the methods filter/filters, constraint/constraints,
74       inflator/inflators, validator/validators and transformer/transformers
75       is more like that of a field element, meaning all processors are added
76       directly to the date element, not to its child elements.
77
78       This element's get_elements and get_all_elements are inherited from
79       HTML::FormFu::Element::Block, and so have the same behaviour. However,
80       it overrides the "get_fields|HTML::FormFu/get_fields" method, such that
81       it returns both itself and its child elements.
