=head1 NAME
Mojolicious::Plugin::MoreUtilHelpers - Methods to format, count, sanitize, etc...
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# Mojolicious
$self->plugin('MoreUtilHelpers', %defaults);
# Mojolicious::Lite
plugin 'MoreUtilHelpers', %defaults;
$self->count(10, 'user'); # 10 users
$self->count([User->new]); # 1 user
$self->paragraphs($text); # <p>line 1</p><p>line 2</p>...
$self->maxwords('a, b, c', 2) # a, b...
$self->sanitize($html); # remove all HTML
# keep <a> and <p> tags
$self->sanitize($html, tags => ['a','p']);
# future calls to param($name[n]) return trimmed values
$self->trim_param(@names);
=head1 METHODS
Defaults can be set for certain methods when the plugin is loaded.
$self->plugin('MoreUtilHelpers', maxwords => { omit => ' [snip]' },
sanitize => { tags => ['code', 'pre', 'a'] });
By default and, unless stated otherwise, no defaults are set. See the method docs for more info.
=head2 count
$self->count(10, 'user'); # 10 users
$self->count([User->new]); # 1 user
$self->count([User->new], 'Luser'); # 1 Luser
Use the singular or plural form of the word based on the number given by the first argument.
If a non-empty array of objects are given the lowercase form of the package's basename is used.
=head2 maxwords
$self->maxwords($str, $n);
$self->maxwords($str, $n, '…');
Truncate C<$str> after C<$n> words. If C<$str> has more than C<$n> words traling
punctuation characters are stripped from the C<$n>th word and C<'...'> is appended.
An alternate ommision character can be given as the third option.
=head3 Setting Defaults
$self->plugin('MoreUtilHelpers', maxwords => { omit => ' [snip]', max => 20 });
=head2 paragraphs
$self->paragraphs($text);
Wrap lines seperated by empty C<\r\n> or C<\n> lines in HTML paragraph tags (C<p>).
For example: C<A\r\n\r\nB\r\n> would be turned into C<< <p>A\r\n</p><p>B\r\n</p> >>.
The returned HTML is assumed to be safe and is wrapped in a L<Mojo::ByteStream>.
=head2 sanitize
$self->sanitize($html);
$self->sanitize($html, tags => ['a','p'], attr => ['href']);
Remove all HTML tags in the string given by C<$html>. If C<tags> and -optionally- C<attr>
are given, remove everything but those tags and attributes.
The returned HTML is assumed to be safe and is wrapped in a L<Mojo::ByteStream>.
=head3 Setting Defaults
$self->plugin('MoreUtilHelpers', sanitize => { tags => ['a','p'], attr => ['href'] });
=head2 trim_param
$self->trim_param(@names);
For each param name in C<@names>, make future calls to L<Mojolicious::Controller/param>
return these params' values without leading and trailing whitespace. In some cases it may be
best to add this to your routes via L<Mojolicious::Routes/under>:
my $account = $self->routes->under(sub {
shift->trim_param('name', 'email', 'phone');
return 1;
});
$account->post('save')->to('account#save');
$account->post('update')->to('account#update');
Now calling C<< $self->param >> in these actions for C<'name'>, C<'email'> or C<'phone'> will
return a trimmed result.
