Hi all, I wrote a simple collection of HTML/XML widget generator (like tabs, boxes, paths) using a master class and the subclasses rendering the particular elements with the same API. I searched on CPAN and apparently I've not found similar modules, except CGI::Widget::Tabs (but my implementation differs, and moreover I can try to intergrate additional graphical tabs feature to this module). I would put it into an existing namespace like CGI::Widget or HTML::Widgets. The problem is where to put the main class without conflict with existent modules.
I have my files like:
something/MyWidget.pm something/MyWidget/Path.pm something/MyWidget/Tabs.pm something/MyWidget/Box.pm something/MyWidget/Tree.pm ...
For example, this is the code using Path widget class generator:
use MyWidget::Path;
# create new path object
my $path = new MyWidget::Path(
separator => '::',
root => { name => "Home", url => "/" },
base_url => 'http://www.foo.com',
);
$path->addElem( elems => [{ name => "My site", url => "mysite/", append => 1 }] );
print $path->asHTML;
will produce the HTML:
<A HREF="http://www.foo.com/";>Home</A>::<A HREF="http://www.foo.com/mysite/";>My Site</A>
Also a filename path can be passed in order to create an "hyperlinked" path.
Any suggestions about the module and/or namespace are welcome.
Thanks in advance
