HTML::FormFu::Model::LDAP - Integrate FormFu and LDAP

HTML::FormFu::Model::LDAP is a module to integrate HTML::FormFu (a form creation and validation framework) with the LDAP directory information services system. By integrating these systems, it is possible to set a form's default values from information gleaned from a given LDAP system as well as to update values in LDAP from a submitted form.

Installation

Currently, the best way to install this module is directly from its GitHub repository.

First, clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/FormFu/HTML-FormFu-Model-LDAP.git

then change into the HTML-FormFu-Model-LDAP/ directory, install the dependencies and build the Makefile:

$ cd HTML-FormFu-Model-LDAP/
$ cpanm --installdeps .
$ perl Makefile.PL

If you wish, you can run the test suite like so:

$ make test

To install the distribution, simply run

$ make install

Basic usage

Make sure you set the form's default model for HTML::FormFu to LDAP:

---
default_model: LDAP

To set a form's default values from LDAP, use the default_values() method:

$form->model->default_values($ldap_entry);

To update LDAP with values from a submitted form, simply call the update() method:

if ($form->submitted_and_valid) {
    $form->model->update($ldap_entry);
}

See the HTML::FormFu::Model::DBIC documentation for more usage information.
