NAME
Mojolicious::Plugin::BootstrapHelpers - Type less bootstrap
SYNOPSIS
# Mojolicious
$self->plugin('BootstrapHelpers');
# ::Lite
plugin 'BootstrapHelpers';
# Meanwhile, somewhere in a template...
%= formgroup 'Email' => text_field => ['email-address', prepend => '@'], large
# ...that renders into
@
STATUS
This is an unstable work in progress. Backwards compatibility is
currently not to be expected between releases.
Currently supported Bootstrap version: 3.2.0.
Currently only Perl 5.20+ is supported (thanks to postderef).
DESCRIPTION
Mojolicious::Plugin::BootstrapHelpers is a convenience plugin that
reduces some bootstrap complexity by introducing several tag helpers
specifically for Bootstrap 3 .
The goal is not to have tag helpers for everything, but for common use
cases.
All examples below (and more, see tests) is expected to work.
How to use Bootstrap
If you don't know what Bootstrap is, see
for possible usages.
You might want to use Mojolicious::Plugin::Bootstrap3 in your templates.
To get going quickly by using the official CDN you can use the following
helpers:
# CSS
%= bootstrap
# or (if you want to use the theme)
%= bootstrap 'theme'
# And the javascript
%= bootstrap 'js'
# Or just:
%= bootstrap 'all'
It is also possible to automatically include jQuery (2.*)
%= bootstrap 'jsq'
%= bootstrap 'allq'
Shortcuts
There are several shortcuts for context and size classes, that
automatically expands to the correct class depending on which tag it is
applied to. They can be seen as a hash key and value merged into one.
For instance, if you apply the "info" shortcut to a panel, it becomes
"panel-info", but when applied to a button it becomes "btn-info".
For sizes, you can only use the longform ("xsmall", "small", "medium"
and "large"), they are shortened to the Bootstrap type classes.
The following shortcuts are available:
xsmall default striped
small primary bordered
medium success hover
large info condensed
warning responsive
danger
See below for usage. Important: You can't follow a shortcut with a fat
comma ("=>"). The fat comma auto-quotes the shortcut, and then the
shortcut is not a shortcut anymore.
If there is no corresponding class for the element you add the shortcut
to it is silently not applied.
Panels
Bootstrap documentation
Syntax
%= panel
%= panel $title, @shortcuts, begin
$body
% end
$title
Usually mandatory, but can be omitted if there are no other arguments to
the "panel". Otherwise, if you don't want a title, set it "undef".
@shortcuts
Optional hash. Any shortcuts you want applied to the "panel".
$body
Optional (but panels are not much use without it). The html inside the
"panel".
Examples
No body, no title
%= panel
The class is set to "panel-default", by default.
Body, no title
%= panel undef ,=> begin
A short text.
% end
A short text.
If you want a panel without title, set the title to "undef". Note that
you can't use a regular fat comma since that would turn undef into a
string. A normal comma is of course also ok.
Body and title
%= panel 'The header' => begin
A short text.
% end
The Header
A short text.
Body and title, with context
%= panel 'Panel 5', success, begin
A short text.
% end
Panel 5
A short text.
The first shortcut, "success". This applies ".panel-success".
Form groups
Bootstrap documentation
Syntax
%= formgroup $labeltext, %arguments
%= formgroup %arguments, begin
$labeltext
% end
# %arguments:
cols => { $size => [ $label_columns, $input_columns ], ... },
@shortcuts
$fieldtype => $field_setting[],
# $field_setting[]
$name,
$value,
%field_arguments
# %field_arguments
%html_attributes,
%prepend,
%append,
@shortcuts
$labeltext
Mandatory. It is either the first argument, or placed in the body.
%arguments
Mandatory. A hash:
"cols"
Optional hash reference. It is only used when the "form" is a
".form-horizontal". $size is one of "xsmall", "small", "medium", or
"large". $size takes a two item array reference: $label_columns is
the number of columns that should be used by the label for that
size, and $input_columns is the number of columns used for the input
field for that size.
You can defined the widths for one or more or all of the sizes.
@shortcuts
Optional. One or more shortcuts that you want applied to the
".form-group" element.
$fieldtype
Mandatory. Is one of "text_field", "password_field",
"datetime_field", "date_field", "month_field", "time_field",
"week_field", "number_field", "email_field", "url_field",
"search_field", "tel_field", "color_field".
There can be only one $fieldtype per "formgroup". (Behavior if
having more than one is not defined.)
$field_setting[]
Mandatory. An array reference:
$name
Mandatory. It sets both the "id" and "name" of the input field.
If the $name contains dashes then those are translated into
underscores when setting the "name". If $field_arguments{'id'}
exists then that is used for the "id" instead.
$value
Optional. It is the same as setting $field_arguments{'value'}.
(But don't do both for the same field.)
%field_arguments
Optional. A hash:
%html_attributes
Optional. All html attributes you want to set on the
"input".
%prepend and %append
Optional. Can be used individually or together. They are
used to create input groups
.
@shortcuts
Optional. All shortcuts you want applied to the "input".
Examples
Basic form group
%= formgroup 'Text test 1', text_field => ['test_text']
The first item in the array ref is used for both "id" and "name".
Except...
Input group (before), and large input field
%= formgroup 'Text test 4', text_field => ['test-text', append => '.00', large]
.00
Shortcuts can also be used in this context. Here "large" applies
".input-lg".
If the input name (the first item in the text_field array ref) contains
dashes, those are replaced (in the "name") to underscores.
Input group (before and after), and with value
%= formgroup 'Text test 5', text_field => ['test_text', '200', prepend => '$', append => '.00']
$.00
The (optional) second item in the array ref is the value, if any, that
should populate the input tag.
Large input group
%= formgroup 'Text test 6', text_field => ['test_text'], large
Note the difference with the earlier example. Here "large" is outside
the "text_field" array ref, and therefore ".form-group-lg" is applied to
the form group.
Horizontal form groups
%= formgroup 'Text test 8', text_field => ['test_text'], cols => { medium => [2, 10], small => [4, 8] }
If the "form" is ".form-horizontal", you can set the column widths with
the "cols" attribute. The first item in each array ref is for the label,
and the second for the input.
(Note that in this context, "medium" and "large" are not shortcuts.
Shortcuts don't take arguments.)
Buttons
Bootstrap documentation
%= button 'The example 5' => large, warning
An ordinary button, with applied shortcuts.
%= button 'The example 1' => ['http://www.example.com/'], small
The example 1
If the first argument after the button text is an array ref, it is used
to populate "href" and turns the button into a link. The url is handed
off url_for, so this is basically link_to with Bootstrap classes.
Tables
Bootstrap documentation
<%= table begin %>
Table 1
<% end %>
Table 1
A basic table.
%= table hover, striped, condensed, begin
Table 2
% end
Table 2
Several classes applied to the table.
OPTIONS
Some options are available:
$app->plugin('BootstrapHelpers', {
tag_prefix => 'bs',
shortcut_prefix => 'set',
init_shortcuts => 1,
});
tag_prefix
Default: "undef"
If you want to you change the name of the tag helpers, by applying a
prefix. These are not aliases; by setting a prefix the original names
are no longer available. The following rules are used:
* If the option is missing, or is "undef", there is no prefix.
* If the option is set to the empty string, the prefix is "_". That
is, "panel" is now used as "_panel".
* If the option is set to any other string, the prefix is that string
followed by "_". If you set "tag_prefix => 'bs'", then "panel" is
now used as "bs_panel".
shortcut_prefix
Default: "undef"
This is similar to "tag_prefix", but is instead applied to the
shortcuts. The same rules applies.
init_shortcuts
Default: 1
If you don't want the shortcuts setup at all, set this option to a
defined but false value.
All functionality is available, but instead of "warning" you must now
use "__warning => 1". That is why they are called shortcuts.
With shortcuts turned off, sizes are only supported in longform:
"__xsmall", "__small", "__medium" and "__large".
