mixinafFormBean::InputSkin

Implement to define a renderer for a specific input type.

Sometimes the default rendered HTML does not meet your needs, or is not enough. In these cases you can define your own skin and render whatever HTML you like!

Skins may be either be set directly on a form field or contributed to the InputSkins service. Skins are selected based on the field's @HtmlInput.type attribute.

@Contribute { serviceType=InputSkins# }
static Void contributeInputSkins(Configuration config) {
    config["tinytext"] = TinyTextSkin()
}

Default skins are provided for most of the HTML5 input types (text, email, select, etc...) and need to be overriden:

@Contribute { serviceType=InputSkins# }
static Void contributeInputSkins(Configuration config) {
    config.overrideValue("text", MyTextSkin())
}

InputSkins should usually be const classes.
