Having just started playing with Catalyst, I'm trying to work out the
best way to implement an editing facility for DBIx::Class::RecordSet
objects.
I think you mean ResultSet ;)
Ideally instead of coding a widget within a controller I'd
like to control the layout within the templates. This means that I
need to be able to call something like:
[% record.editboxfor($column) %
or some such thing.
Is this a sensible thing to do? Has anyone got any nice recipies to
solve this?
Good places to start would be the docs for either DBIx::Class::WebForm
or (as most people seem to prefer at present) HTML::Widget.
Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial is definitely worth a read too, as it covers
the same sort of thing you're doing.
If you're using a decent view like Template Toolkit, you will be able to
manipulate forms from either Controller or View as you see fit.
