# HTML::FormFu::Deflator::PathClassFile(3pm)

Deflator for Path::Class::File objects

## NAME

HTML::FormFu::Deflator::PathClassFile - Deflator for Path::Class::File objects

## VERSION

version 2.07

## SYNOPSIS

```
    $form->deflator( PathClassFile => 'file' )
        ->relative( 'root' );
    ---
    elements:
        - type: Text
          deflator:
              - type: PathClassFile
                relative: root
```

## DESCRIPTION

Deflator for Path::Class::File objects.

There are three types of deflation:

- relative

  Set this to 1 to deflate to a relative path. Anything else than 1 specifies the directory to use as the base of relativity - otherwise the current working directory will be used.

- absolute

  Set this to 1 to deflate to an absolute path. Anything else than 1 specifies the directory to use as the base of relativity - otherwise the current working directory will be used.

- basename

  Set this to 1 to get the name of the file without the directory portion.

As you cannot set values for a File element, this deflator will only work on regular form elements.
