Hi Kennedy,
I totally see your point there. Unfortunately it isn't that easy to fix.
Every field has a value and value_xml method which contains the
field's value (default and default_xml are aliases for those methods).
Model::DBIC however sets the value by calling default.
I see two possible ways to fix this. Either we patch model::DBIC to read
a value from the model_config of a field and decide then whether to
use default or default_xml:
---
elements:
- type: Label
name: first
model_config:
is_xml: 1
Or for now you can write your own deflator which can reverse the encoding.
Have a look at HTML::FormFu::Deflator::FormatNumber for an example of
string manipulation.
The best practice for home-made Deflators is to name them like this:
HTML::FormFu::Deflator::MyApp::XMLLabel, so you can use
deflator:
MyApp::XMLLabel
in the configuration.
I forwarded this mail to the formfu mailing list, which you should
subscribe to :-)
I can find you on IRC next week so we can discuss about the Catalyst
tutorial thing and what you have in mind.
Cheers,
moritz
