# Catalyst::Plugin::Prototype(3pm)

Catalyst::Plugin::Prototype - Plugin for Prototype

```
    # use it
    use Catalyst qw/Prototype/;
```

**INLINE USE**

```
    # ...add this to your tt2 template...
    [% c.prototype.define_javascript_functions %]
```

**REFERENCE USE** If you don't want to include the entire prototype library inline on every hit, you can use "script/myapp\_create.pl Prototype" to generate static JavaScript files which then can be included via remote "script" tags.

```
    # ...add this to your template...
    <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript"
         src="/prototype.js"></script>
    <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript"
         src="/effects.js"></script>
    <!-- .... -->
    # ...and use the helper methods...
    <div id="view"></div>
    <textarea id="editor" cols="80" rows="24"></textarea>
    [% uri = base _ 'edit/' _ page.title %]
    [% c.prototype.observe_field( 'editor', uri, { 'update' => 'view' } ) %]
```

Some stuff to make Prototype fun. This plugin replaces Catalyst::Helper::Prototype.\
 **METHODS** *prototype*
