Howdy Robed Ones!

I wanted to know if it is possible to pass a DBIx::Class ResultSet into HTML::FormHandler such that all instances are displayed. Presumably these would use the HFH Repeatable functionality.

To put this as a more concrete example, assume a person's phone (work, home ...) with the standard US fields (areacode, number ...). A single phone number row could be coded as such and it works fabulous (I happen to be working with Catalyst, so the code is of that nature):

my $formPhone = MyApp::Form::Phone->new;
$formPhone->process(item => $c->model('MyDb')->find(1),
                        params => $c->request->params);
$c->stash->{formPhone} = $formPhone;

Corresponding form code:

use HTML::FormHandler::Moose;
extends 'HTML::FormHandler';
with 'HTML::FormHandler::Render::Table';

has_field 'area_code'       => (type => 'Text', label => 'Area Code', 
+required => 1, css_class=>'required_field');
has_field 'number'       => (type => 'Text', label => 'Home Phone', re
+quired => 1, css_class=>'required_field');

__PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;

1;

When a ResultSet is passed in:

my $formPhone = MyApp::Form::Phone->new;
$formPhone->process(item => $c->model('MyDb')->search(...)->all,
                            params => $c->request->params);
$c->stash->{formPhone} = $formPhone;

Corresponding (approximation) repeatable form code :

use HTML::FormHandler::Moose;
extends 'HTML::FormHandler';
with 'HTML::FormHandler::Render::Table';

has_field 'phone' => ( type => 'Repeatable' );
has_field 'phone.id' => ( type => 'PrimaryKey' );
has_field 'phone.area_code' => (type => 'Text', label => 'Area Code', 
+required => 1, css_class=>'required_field');
has_field 'phone.number' => (type => 'Text', label => 'Home Phone', re
+quired => 1, css_class=>'required_field');

__PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;

the code blows up with:
invalid attribute 'HASH(Ox...)' passed to setup_form at ... FormHandler.pm line 853

What is the right way to do this? (HFH v. 0.30003)
