I was wondering what the current consensus among Catalyst users is about
what the best way to approach forms is?
I started off writing the forms directly into the template, validating
with FormValidator::Simple, and trying to fill values in with FillInForm.
I really liked FormValidator::Simple alot, and writing the forms
directly in the template gives designers complete control, but I had
some trouble with FillInForm and read that it could be slow, so I
decided to try something else.
I'm trying out HTML::Widget now, since the Advanced CRUD tutorial uses
it, and I guess it seems ok, although its validation capabilities don't
seem as powerful as FormValidator::Simple. Also, it seems like it makes
it harder for designers to work with the forms, and I'm about its
performance.
I guess I'm just looking for some opinions on which methodology to
choose. Performance is probably the biggest consideration for me, but
validation, ease of development, and allowing for designers to easily
edit the appearance are all important.
Thanks!
Jim
