[html-formfu] use FormFu::Model::DBIC in Dancer2 app and populate select element in a form

[Gert van Oss]

okay, answering my own question after again reading through:

https://metacpan.org/pod/HTML::FormFu::Model::DBIC <https://metacpan.org/pod/HTML::FormFu::Model::DBIC#Config-options-for-options_from_model>

The code below works

get '/add-client' => sub {
    my $form = HTML::FormFu->new;
    $form->load_config_file("forms/addclient.yml");
    $form->model('DBIC');
    $form->stash( schema => $schema );
    $form->process;
    template 'add-client' => { 'myform' => $form };
};


The addcountry.yml part where the element shows up is:
   - type: Block
      tag: tr
      attributes:
        id: country_id
      elements:
      - type: Block
        tag: td
        content_xml: "Land-code *"
        attributes:
          class: label
      - type: Block
        tag: td
        elements:
          type: Select
          name: "country_id"
          model_config:
            resultset: Country
            label_column: "country"
