SYNOPSIS

Krang::BulkEdit::Textarea - Class for Textarea-based bulk editing

DESCRIPTION

This class implements methods to handle bulk editing in a textarea field. Textareas are used for bulk editing if an elementclass's 'bulk_edit' attribute is set to either '1' (legacy value) or 'textarea' (recommended explicit value).

INTERFACE

• pkg('BulkEdit::Textarea')->edit(element_editor => $elementeditor, element => $element, template => $template, child_names => \@bulk_edit_child_names)
  
This method is called from pkg('CGI::ElementEditor')-element_bulk_edit()> and takes care of initializing the textarea with all relevant element data.

It's arguments include:

• editor
  
The element editor object
• element
  
The element whose children are to be bulk edited
• template
  
The template loaded by pkg('CGI::ElementEditor')-element_bulk_edit()>
• element_children
  
For the textarea-flavour of bulk editing this list always has just one member representing the name of the elementclass whose elements are about to be bulk edited.
• pkg('BulkEdit::Textarea')->save(element_editor => $elementeditor, element => $element)
  
This method is called from pkg('CGI::ElementEditor')->element_bulk_save().

It breaks the incoming text into meaningfull chunks and records the latter in children of $element (the legacy bulk edit behavior).
