Defined in:
lib/aurita-gui/form.rb

Overview

Default decorator for form fields. Decorates single entry of form to <li> element, setting CSS classes and DOM ids. To use your own field decorator, derive it from Aurita::GUI::Element (maybe indirectly via one of its derivates) and define its constructor to expect a single Form_Field instance. The field decorator has to wrap the actual form field.

See the source code of Aurita::GUI::Form_Field_Wrapper for a simple implementation.

Tell a form to use a specific field decorator by 

the_form.field_decorator = My_Field_Decorator

To use your own implementation as defaut, overload Form.initialize like

class My_Form < Aurita::GUI::Form
  def initialize(params={}, &block)
    super(params, &block)
    @field_decorator = My_Field_Decorator
  emd
end

Or write a factory (*hint hint*) like: 

class Form_Factory
  def self.form(params={}, &block)
    form = Aurita::GUI::Form.new(params, &block)
    form.field_decorator = My_Field_Decorator
    return form
  end
end

See also: Form_Content_Wrapper (pretty much the same).
