-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-CGI::Ajax is an object-oriented module that provides a unique
-mechanism for using perl code asynchronously from javascript-
-enhanced HTML pages. CGI::Ajax unburdens the user from having to
-write extensive javascript, except for associating an exported
-method with a document-defined event (such as onClick, onKeyUp,
-etc). CGI::Ajax also mixes well with HTML containing more complex
-javascript.
-
-CGI::Ajax supports methods that return single results or multiple
-results to the web page, and supports returning values to multiple
-DIV elements on the HTML page.
-
-Using CGI::Ajax, the URL for the HTTP GET/POST request is
-automatically generated based on HTML layout and events, and the
-page is then dynamically updated with the output from the perl
-function. Additionally, CGI::Ajax supports mapping URL's to a
-CGI::Ajax function name, so you can separate your code processing
-over multiple scripts.
-
-Other than using the Class::Accessor module to generate CGI::Ajax'
-accessor methods, CGI::Ajax is completely self-contained - it
-does not require you to install a larger package or a full Content
-Management System, etc.
-
-We have added I<support> for other CGI handler/decoder modules,
-like L<CGI::Simple> or L<CGI::Minimal>, but we can't test these
-since we run mod_perl2 only here. CGI::Ajax checks to see if a
-header() method is available to the CGI object, and then uses it.
-If method() isn't available, it creates it's own minimal header.
-
-A primary goal of CGI::Ajax is to keep the module streamlined and
-maximally flexible. We are trying to keep the generated javascript
-code to a minimum, but still provide users with a variety of
-methods for deploying CGI::Ajax. And VERY little user javascript.
-
-=head1 EXAMPLES
-
-The CGI::Ajax module allows a Perl subroutine to be called
-asynchronously, when triggered from a javascript event on the
-HTML page. To do this, the subroutine must be I<registered>,
-usually done during:
-
- my $pjx = new CGI::Ajax( 'JSFUNC' => \&PERLFUNC );
-
-This maps a perl subroutine (PERLFUNC) to an automatically
-generated Javascript function (JSFUNC). Next you setup a trigger this
-function when an event occurs (e.g. "onClick"):
-
- onClick="JSFUNC(['source1','source2'], ['dest1','dest2']);"
-
-where 'source1', 'dest1', 'source2', 'dest2' are the DIV ids of
-HTML elements in your page...
-
- <input type=text id=source1>
- <input type=text id=source2>
- <div id=dest1></div>
- <div id=dest2></div>
-
-L<CGI::Ajax> sends the values from source1 and source2 to your
-Perl subroutine and returns the results to dest1 and dest2.
-
-=head2 4 Usage Methods
-
-=over 4
-
-=item 1 Standard CGI::Ajax example
-
-Start by defining a perl subroutine that you want available from
-javascript. In this case we'll define a subrouting that determines
-whether or not an input is odd, even, or not a number (NaN):
-
- use strict;
- use CGI::Ajax;
- use CGI;
-
-
- sub evenodd_func {
- my $input = shift;
-
- # see if input is defined
- if ( not defined $input ) {
- return("input not defined or NaN");
- }
-
- # see if value is a number (*thanks Randall!*)
- if ( $input !~ /\A\d+\z/ ) {
- return("input is NaN");
- }
-
- # got a number, so mod by 2
- $input % 2 == 0 ? return("EVEN") : return("ODD");
- }
-
-Alternatively, we could have used coderefs to associate an
-exported name...
-
- my $evenodd_func = sub {
- # exactly the same as in the above subroutine
- };
-
-Next we define a function to generate the web page - this can
-be done many different ways, and can also be defined as an
-anonymous sub. The only requirement is that the sub send back
-the html of the page. You can do this via a string containing the
-html, or from a coderef that returns the html, or from a function
-(as shown here)...
-
- sub Show_HTML {
- my $html = <<EOT;
- <HTML>
- <HEAD><title>CGI::Ajax Example</title>
- </HEAD>
- <BODY>
- Enter a number:
- <input type="text" name="somename" id="val1" size="6"
- OnKeyUp="evenodd( ['val1'], ['resultdiv'] );">
- <br>
- <hr>
- <div id="resultdiv">
- </div>
- </BODY>
- </HTML>
-EOT
- return $html;
- }
-
-The exported Perl subrouting is triggered using the C<OnKeyUp>
-event handler of the input HTML element. The subroutine takes one
-value from the form, the input element B<'val1'>, and returns the
-the result to an HTML div element with an id of B<'resultdiv'>.
-Sending in the input id in an array format is required to support
-multiple inputs, and similarly, to output multiple the results,
-you can use an array for the output divs, but this isn't mandatory -
-as will be explained in the B<Advanced> usage.
-
-Now create a CGI object and a CGI::Ajax object, associating a reference
-to our subroutine with the name we want available to javascript.
-
- my $cgi = new CGI();
- my $pjx = new CGI::Ajax( 'evenodd' => \&evenodd_func );
-
-And if we used a coderef, it would look like this...
-
- my $pjx = new CGI::Ajax( 'evenodd' => $evenodd_func );
-
-Now we're ready to print the output page; we send in the cgi
-object and the HTML-generating function.
-
- print $pjx->build_html($cgi,\&Show_HTML);
-
-CGI::Ajax has support for passing in extra HTML header information
-to the CGI object. This can be accomplished by adding a third
-argument to the build_html() call. The argument needs to be a
-hashref containing Key=>value pairs that CGI objects understand:
-
- print $pjx->build_html($cgi,\&Show_HTML,
- {-charset=>'UTF-8, -expires=>'-1d'});
-
-See L<CGI> for more header() method options.
-
-That's it for the CGI::Ajax standard method. Let's look at
-something more advanced.
-
-=item 2 Advanced CGI::Ajax example
-
-Let's say we wanted to have a perl subroutine process multiple
-values from the HTML page, and similarly return multiple values
-back to distinct divs on the page. This is easy to do, and
-requires no changes to the perl code - you just create it as you
-would any perl subroutine that works with multiple input values
-and returns multiple values. The significant change happens in
-the event handler javascript in the HTML...
-
- onClick="exported_func(['input1','input2'],['result1','result2']);"
-
-Here we associate our javascript function ("exported_func") with
-two HTML element ids ('input1','input2'), and also send in two
-HTML element ids to place the results in ('result1','result2').
-
-=item 3 Sending Perl Subroutine Output to a Javascript function
-
-Occassionally, you might want to have a custom javascript function
-process the returned information from your Perl subroutine.
-This is possible, and the only requierment is that you change
-your event handler code...
-
- onClick="exported_func(['input1'],[js_process_func]);"
-
-In this scenario, C<js_process_func> is a javascript function you
-write to take the returned value from your Perl subroutine and
-process the results. I<Note that a javascript function is not
-quoted -- if it were, then CGI::Ajax would look for a HTML element
-with that id.> Beware that with this usage, B<you are responsible
-for distributing the results to the appropriate place on the
-HTML page>. If the exported Perl subroutine returns, e.g. 2
-values, then C<js_process_func> would need to process the input
-by working through an array, or using the javascript Function
-C<arguments> object.
-
- function js_process_func() {
- var input1 = arguments[0]
- var input2 = arguments[1];
- // do something and return results, or set HTML divs using
- // innerHTML
- document.getElementById('outputdiv').innerHTML = input1;
- }
-
-=item 4 URL/Outside Script CGI::Ajax example
-
-There are times when you may want a different script to
-return content to your page. This could be because you have
-an existing script already written to perform a particular
-task, or you want to distribute a part of your application to another
-script. This can be accomplished in L<CGI::Ajax> by using a URL in
-place of a locally-defined Perl subroutine. In this usage,
-you alter you creation of the L<CGI::Ajax> object to link an
-exported javascript function name to a local URL instead of
-a coderef or a subroutine.
-
- my $url = 'scripts/other_script.pl';
- my $pjx = new CGI::Ajax( 'external' => $url );
-
-This will work as before in terms of how it is called from you
-event handler:
-
- onClick="external(['input1','input2'],['resultdiv']);"
-
-The other_script.pl will get the values via a CGI object and
-accessing the 'args' key. The values of the B<'args'> key will
-be an array of everything that was sent into the script.
-
- my @input = $cgi->params('args');
- $input[0]; # contains first argument
- $input[1]; # contains second argument, etc...
-
-This is good, but what if you need to send in arguments to the
-other script which are directly from the calling Perl script,
-i.e. you want a calling Perl script's variable to be sent, not
-the value from an HTML element on the page? This is possible
-using the following syntax:
-
- onClick="exported_func(['args__$input1','args__$input2'],
- ['resultdiv']);"
-
-Similary, if the external script required a constant as input
-(e.g. C<script.pl?args=42>, you would use this syntax:
-
- onClick="exported_func(['args__42'],['resultdiv']);"
-
-In both of the above examples, the result from the external
-script would get placed into the I<resultdiv> element on our
-(the calling script's) page.
-
-If you are sending more than one argument from an external perl
-script back to a javascript function, you will need to split the
-string (AJAX applications communicate in strings only) on something.
-Internally, we use '__pjx__', and this string is checked for. If
-found, L<CGI::Ajax> will automatically split it. However, if you
-don't want to use '__pjx__', you can do it yourself:
-
-For example, from your Perl script, you would...
-
- return("A|B"); # join with "|"
-
-and then in the javascript function you would have something like...
-
- process_func() {
- var arr = arguments[0].split("|");
- // arr[0] eq 'A'
- // arr[1] eq 'B'
- }
-
-In order to rename parameters, in case the outside script needs
-specifically-named parameters and not CGI::Ajax' I<'args'> default
-parameter name, change your event handler associated with an HTML
-event like this
-
- onClick="exported_func(['myname__$input1','myparam__$input2'],
- ['resultdiv']);"
-
-The URL generated would look like this...
-
-C<script.pl?myname=input1&myparam=input2>
-
-You would then retrieve the input in the outside script with this...
-
- my $p1 = $cgi->params('myname');
- my $p1 = $cgi->params('myparam');
-
-Finally, what if we need to get a value from our HTML page and we
-want to send that value to an outside script but the outside script
-requires a named parameter different from I<'args'>? You can
-accomplish this with L<CGI::Ajax> using the getVal() javascript
-method (which returns an array, thus the C<getVal()[0]> notation):
-
- onClick="exported_func(['myparam__' + getVal('div_id')[0]],
- ['resultdiv']);"
-
-This will get the value of our HTML element with and
-I<id> of I<div_id>, and submit it to the url attached to
-I<myparam__>. So if our exported handler referred to a URI
-called I<script/scr.pl>, and the element on our HTML page called
-I<div_id> contained the number '42', then the URL would look
-like this C<script/scr.pl?myparam=42>. The result from this
-outside URL would get placed back into our HTML page in the
-element I<resultdiv>. See the example script that comes with
-the distribution called I<pjx_url.pl> and its associated outside
-script I<convert_degrees.pl> for a working example.
-
-B<N.B.> These examples show the use of outside scripts which
-are other perl scripts - I<but you are not limited to Perl>!
-The outside script could just as easily have been PHP or any other
-CGI script, as long as the return from the other script is just
-the result, and not addition HTML code (like FORM elements, etc).
-
-=back
-
-=head2 GET versus POST
-
-Note that all the examples so far have used the following syntax:
-
- onClick="exported_func(['input1'],['result1']);"
-
-There is an optional third argument to a L<CGI::Ajax> exported
-function that allows change the submit method. The above event could
-also have been coded like this...
-
- onClick="exported_func(['input1'],['result1'], 'GET');"
-
-By default, L<CGI::Ajax> sends a I<'GET'> request. If you need it,
-for example your URL is getting way too long, you can easily switch
-to a I<'POST'> request with this syntax...
-
- onClick="exported_func(['input1'],['result1'], 'POST');"
-
-I<('POST' and 'post' are supported)>
-
-=head2 Page Caching
-
-We have implemented a method to prevent page cacheing from undermining
-the AJAX methods in a page. If you send in an input argument to a
-L<CGI::Ajax>-exported function called 'NO_CACHE', the a special
-parameter will get attached to the end or your url with a random
-number in it. This will prevent a browser from caching your request.
-
- onClick="exported_func(['input1','NO_CACHE'],['result1']);"
-
-The extra param is called pjxrand, and won't interfere with the order
-of processing for the rest of your parameters.

-=item build_html()
-
- Purpose: Associates a cgi obj ($cgi) with pjx object, inserts
- javascript into <HEAD></HEAD> element and constructs
- the page, or part of the page. AJAX applications
- are designed to update only the section of the
- page that needs it - the whole page doesn't have
- to be redrawn. L<CGI::Ajax> applications use the
- build_html() method to take care of this: if the CGI
- parameter C<fname> exists, then the return from the
- L<CGI::Ajax>-exported function is sent to the page.
- Otherwise, the entire page is sent, since without
- an C<fname> param, this has to be the first time
- the page is being built.
-
- Arguments: The CGI object, and either a coderef, or a string
- containing html. Optionally, you can send in a third
- parameter containing information that will get passed
- directly to the CGI object header() call.
- Returns: html or updated html (including the header)

-
- Purpose: Show the AJAX URL that is being generated, and stop
- compression of the generated javascript, both of which can aid
- during debugging. If set to 1, then the core js will get
- compressed, but the user-defined functions will not be
- compressed. If set to 2 (or anything greater than 1 or 0),
- then none of the javascript will get compressed.
-
- Arguments: JSDEBUG(0); # turn javascript debugging off
- JSDEBUG(1); # turn javascript debugging on, some javascript compression
- JSDEBUG(2); # turn javascript debugging on, no javascript compresstion
- Returns: prints a link to the url that is being generated automatically by
- the Ajax object. this is VERY useful for seeing what
- CGI::Ajax is doing. Following the link, will show a page
- with the output that the page is generating.
-
- Called By: $pjx->JSDEBUG(1) # where $pjx is a CGI::Ajax object;
-
-=item DEBUG()
-
- Purpose: Show debugging information in web server logs
- Arguments: DEBUG(0); # turn debugging off (default)
- DEBUG(1); # turn debugging on
- Returns: prints debugging information to the web server logs using
- STDERR
- Called By: $pjx->DEBUG(1) # where $pjx is a CGI::Ajax object;
