=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); #
and tags
$self->sanitize($html, tags => ['a','p']);
# future calls to param($name[n]) return trimmed values
$self->trim_param(@names);
# DWIM Mojo::Collection
$self->collection(@data);
$self->collection($data);
=head1 MOJOLICIOUS VERSION
This version requires Mojolicious >= 7.0. If you're using an earlier version of Mojolicious
you must use L
or lower of this module.
=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 collection
$self->collection(1,2,3)
$self->collection([1,2,3]);
$self->collection(undef); # empty collection
DWIM (Bo Bhat B Bean) L creation.
Currently C does not differentiate between C and array ref arguments. For example:
$self->c(1)->to_array; # [1]
$self->c([1])->to_array; # [[1]]
$self->c(undef)->to_array; # [undef]
$self->c([1,2,[3]])->to_array; # [[1,2,[3]]]
Using C to create a C will give you the following:
$self->collection(1)->to_array; # [1]
$self->collection([1])->to_array; # [1]
$self->collection(undef)->to_array; # []
$self->collection([1,2,[3]])->to_array; # [1,2,[3]]
=head3 Making This Behavior The Default
To replace L<< the C helper|Mojolicious::Plugin::DefaultHelpers/c >> with C:
$self->plugin('MoreUtilHelpers', collection => { patch => 1 });
This B replace L.
=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).
For example: C would be turned into C<< A\r\n
B\r\n
>>.
The returned HTML is assumed to be safe and is wrapped in a L.
=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 and -optionally- C
are given, remove everything but those tags and attributes.
The returned HTML is assumed to be safe and is wrapped in a L.
=head3 Setting Defaults
$self->plugin('MoreUtilHelpers', sanitize => { tags => ['a','p'], attr => ['href'] });
=head2 trim_param
$self->trim_param(@names);
$self->trim_param(qr{user\.});
For each param name in C<@names>, make future calls to L
return these params' values without leading and trailing whitespace. If an element of C<@names>
is a regexp all matching param names will be processed.
In some cases it may be best to add this to your routes via L:
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.
Leading/trailing whitespace is removed by calling L.
