# HTML::FormFu::Plugin(3pm)

base class for plugins

## NAME

HTML::FormFu::Plugin - base class for plugins

## VERSION

version 2.07

### DESCRIPTION

Plugins can be added to a form or any element to modify their behaviour. Some plugins should only be added to either a form, or an element, depending on their design.

## METHODS

Plugins can override any of the following method stubs.

### process

Only plugins added to a form or a field element inheriting from HTML::FormFu::Role::Element::Field will have their `"process"` method run.

For form plugins, is called during "process" in HTML::FormFu, before `"process"` is called on any elements.

For field plugins, is called during the field's `"process"` call.

### pre\_process

For form plugins, is called immediately after `"pre_process"` is run on the elements.

For element plugins, is called before `"pre_process"` is run on form plugins.

### post\_process

For form plugins, is called immediately before "process" in HTML::FormFu returns.

For element plugins, is called before `"post_process"` is run on form plugins.

### render

Only plugins added to a form will have their `"render"` method run.

Is called during "render" in HTML::FormFu before the "render\_method" in HTML::FormFu is called.

### post\_render

Only plugins added to a form will have their `"post_render"` method run.

Is called during "render" in HTML::FormFu immediately before "render" in HTML::FormFu return.

Is passed a reference to the return value of "render\_method" in HTML::FormFu.
