NAME

Catalyst::Controller::MetaForm - MetaForm sugar for Catalyst

SYNOPSIS

  package MyApp::Form::Login;

  use Moose;

  use Class::MetaForm;

  has username => (
    is       => 'ro',
    isa      => 'Str',
    required => 1,
  );

  has password => (
    is       => 'ro',
    isa      => 'Str',
    required => 1,
  );

  package MyApp::Controller::Auth;

  use base qw/Catalyst::Controller::MetaForm/;

  use strict;
  use warnings;

  # This will require the form MyApp::Form::Login to be successfully
  # validated before the code gets to execute.

  sub login : Local AssertForm('Login') Args(0) {
    my ($self,$c) = @_;

    # We will always have $c->stash->{ form } here.
  }

  # In this case, the form MyApp::Form::Something doesn't have to be
  # valid in order for the action to execute.

  sub somethingelse : Local Form('Login') Args(0) {
    my ($self,$c) = @_;

    # $c->stash->{ form } will be undefined if it wasn't successfully
    # validated. The error can be found in $c->stash->{ form_error }
  }

  1;
