=head1 NAME

HTML::FormFu::Element::Repeatable - repeatable block element

=head1 VERSION

version 2.07

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    ---
    elements:
      - type: Repeatable
        name: my_rep
        elements:
          - name: foo
          - name: bar

Calling C<< $element->repeat(2) >> would result in the following markup:

    <div>
        <input name="my_rep.foo_1" type="text" />
        <input name="my_rep.bar_1" type="text" />
    </div>
    <div>
        <input name="my_rep.foo_2" type="text" />
        <input name="my_rep.bar_2" type="text" />
    </div>

Example of constraints:

    ----
    elements:
      - type: Repeatable
        name: my_rep
        elements:
          - name: id

          - name: foo
            constraints:
              - type: Required
                when:
                  field: 'my_rep.id' # use full nested-name

          - name: bar
            constraints:
              - type: Equal
                others: 'my_rep.foo' # use full nested-name

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Provides a way to extend a form at run-time, by copying and repeating its
child elements.

The elements intended for copying must be added before L</repeat> is called.

Although the Repeatable element inherits from
L<Block|HTML::FormFu::Element::Block>, it doesn't generate a block tag
around all the repeated elements - instead it places each repeat of the
elements in a new L<Block|HTML::FormFu::Element::Block> element, which
inherits the Repeatable's display settings, such as L</attributes> and
L</tag>.

For all constraints attached to fields within a Repeatable block which use
either L<others|HTML::FormFu::Role::Constraint::Others/others> or
L<when|HTML::FormFu::Constraint/when> containing names of fields within
the same Repeatable block, when L<repeat> is called, those names will
automatically be updated to the new nested-name for each field (taking
into account L<increment_field_names>).

=head1 METHODS

=head2 repeat

Arguments: [$count]

Return Value: $arrayref_of_new_child_blocks

This method creates C<$count> number of copies of the child elements.
If no argument C<$count> is provided, it defaults to C<1>.

Note that C<< $form->process >> will call L</repeat> automatically to ensure the
initial child elements are correctly set up - unless you call L</repeat>
manually first, in which case the child elements you created will be left
untouched (otherwise L<process|HTML::FormFu/process> would overwrite your
changes).

Any subsequent call to L</repeat> will delete the previously copied elements
before creating new copies - this means you cannot make repeated calls to
L</repeat> within a loop to create more copies.

Each copy of the elements returned are contained in a new
L<Block|HTML::FormFu::Element::Block> element. For example, calling
C<< $element->repeat(2) >> on a Repeatable element containing 2 Text fields
would return 2 L<Block|HTML::FormFu::Element::Block> elements, each
containing a copy of the 2 Text fields.

=head2 counter_name

Arguments: $name

If true, the L<HTML::FormFu/query> will be searched during
L<HTML::FormFu/process> for a parameter with the given name. The value for
that parameter will be passed to L</repeat>, to automatically create the
new copies.

If L</increment_field_names> is true (the default), this is essential: if the
elements corresponding to the new fieldnames (foo_1, bar_2, etc.) are not
present on the form during L<HTML::FormFu/process>, no Processors
(Constraints, etc.) will be run on the fields, and their values will not
be returned by L<HTML::FormFu/params> or L<HTML::FormFu/param>.

=head2 increment_field_names

Arguments: $bool

Default Value: 1

If true, then all fields will have C<< _n >> appended to their name, where
C<n> is the L</repeatable_count> value.

=head2 repeatable_count

This is set on each new L<Block|HTML::FormFu::Element::Block> element
returned by L</repeat>, starting at number C<1>.

Because this is an 'inherited accessor' available on all elements, it can be
used to determine whether any element is a child of a Repeatable element.

Only available after L<repeat> has been called.

=head2 repeatable_count_no_inherit

A non-inheriting variant of L</repeatable_count>.

=head2 nested_name

If the L</nested_name> attribute is set, the naming scheme of the Repeatable
element's children is switched to add the counter to the repeatable blocks
themselves.

    ---
    elements:
      - type: Repeatable
        nested_name: my_rep
        elements:
          - name: foo
          - name: bar

Calling C<< $element->repeat(2) >> would result in the following markup:

    <div>
        <input name="my_rep_1.foo" type="text" />
        <input name="my_rep_1.bar" type="text" />
    </div>
    <div>
        <input name="my_rep_2.foo" type="text" />
        <input name="my_rep_2.bar" type="text" />
    </div>

Because this is an 'inherited accessor' available on all elements, it can be
used to determine whether any element is a child of a Repeatable element.

=head2 attributes

=head2 attrs

Any attributes set will be passed to every repeated Block of elements.

    ---
    elements:
      - type: Repeatable
        name: my_rep
        attributes:
          class: rep
        elements:
          - name: foo

Calling C<< $element->repeat(2) >> would result in the following markup:

    <div class="rep">
        <input name="my_rep.foo_1" type="text" />
    </div>
    <div class="rep">
        <input name="my_rep.foo_2" type="text" />
    </div>

See L<HTML::FormFu/attributes> for details.

=head2 tag

The L</tag> value will be passed to every repeated Block of elements.

    ---
    elements:
      - type: Repeatable
        name: my_rep
        tag: span
        elements:
          - name: foo

Calling C<< $element->repeat(2) >> would result in the following markup:

    <span>
        <input name="my_rep.foo_1" type="text" />
    </span>
    <span>
        <input name="my_rep.foo_2" type="text" />
    </span>

See L<HTML::FormFu::Element::Block/tag> for details.

=head2 auto_id

As well as the usual substitutions, any instances of C<%r> will be
replaced with the value of L</repeatable_count>.

See L<HTML::FormFu::Element::Block/auto_id> for further details.

    ---
    elements:
      - type: Repeatable
        name: my_rep
        auto_id: "%n_%r"
        elements:
          - name: foo

Calling C<< $element->repeat(2) >> would result in the following markup:

    <div>
        <input name="my_rep.foo_1" id="foo_1" type="text" />
    </div>
    <div>
        <input name="my_rep.foo_2" id="foo_2" type="text" />
    </div>

=head2 content

Not supported for Repeatable elements - will throw a fatal error if called as
a setter.

=head1 CAVEATS

=head2 Unsupported Constraints

Note that constraints with an L<others|HTML::FormFu::Role::Constraint::Others>
method do not work correctly within a Repeatable block. Currently, these are:
L<AllOrNone|HTML::FormFu::Constraint::AllOrNone>,
L<DependOn|HTML::FormFu::Constraint::DependOn>,
L<Equal|HTML::FormFu::Constraint::Equal>,
L<MinMaxFields|HTML::FormFu::Constraint::MinMaxFields>,
L<reCAPTCHA|HTML::FormFu::Constraint::reCAPTCHA>.
Also, the L<CallbackOnce|HTML::FormFu::Constraint::CallbackOnce> constraint
won't work within a Repeatable block, as it wouldn't make much sense.

=head2 Work-arounds

See L<HTML::FormFu::Filter::ForceListValue> to address a problem with
L<increment_field_names> disabled, and increading the L<repeat> on the
server-side.
