Hi,
I am trying to write an inflator that will produce a NetAddr::IP object
from my form input. I have searched for but been unable to find much
information about writing custom inflators. If there are examples or
additional documentation available, links would be greatly appreciated.
I am working on my first Catalyst web site with DBIC and FormFu. I am using
the built-in Catalyst server to display the web pages. The whole thing is
running on a CentOS 7.5 VM on one of my servers.
I took a look at the source for the core inflators and from what I
(mis)understand of the code, the inflator provides an inflator method that
returns on failure or returns the inflated object upon success. I have
written the following but it does not work as I expected.
package HTML::FormFu::Inflator::NetAddr::IP;
use Moose;
use HTML::FormFu::Constants qw( $EMPTY_STR );
use NetAddr::IP;
use namespace::autoclean;
extends 'HTML::FormFu::Inflator';
sub inflator {
my ( $self, $value ) = @_;
return if !defined $value || $value eq $EMPTY_STR;
my $ip = NetAddr::IP->new($value);
return if !defined $ip;
return $ip;
}
__PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;
1;
With the following form config...
# Text box for the network subnet address
- type: Text
name: subnet
label: Subnet
attributes:
title: Enter the Subnet Address for this network in CIDR format.
inflators:
- type: NetAddr::IP
message: Not a valid subnet address.
Even when I enter a valid address that should be inflatable, such as
10.255.255.0/24, I get the 'Not a valid subnet address' error message.
Any help or redirection would be appreciated.
Bill
