NAME

ProgressMonitor::Stringify::Field::Dynamic - a field implementation that renders a fixed value in a dynamic space, filling out remaining places.

SYNOPSIS

TBW

DESCRIPTION

This is a dynamic size field rendering a fixed value, but filling out to adapt to dynamically allocated space. Intended for use together with other fields in order to provide explanatory text or similar, while also being good overlaid messages and give as much space as possible.

Inherits from ProgressMonitor::Stringify::Fields::AbstractField.

METHODS

new( $hashRef )

Configuration data:

text (default => '')

The text to display.

filler (default => ' ')

The filler.

change_text( $newText)

Change the text to display and returns the old text.

The passed in text will be padded to the assigned width of the field if its shorter using the 'fillCharacter'. If it's too long, it will be cut.
