NAME
Padre::Current - convenient access to current objects within Padre
SYNOPSIS
my $main = Padre::Current->main;
...DESCRIPTION
Padre uses lots of objects from different classes. And one needs to have access to the current object of this sort or this other to do whatever is need at the time.
Instead of poking directly with the various classes to find the object you need, Padre::Current provides a bunch of handy methods to retrieve whatever current object you need.
METHODS
new
# Vanilla constructor
Padre::Current->new;
# Seed the object with some context
Padre::Current->new( document => $document );The new constructor creates a new context object, it optionally takes one or more named parameters which should be any context the caller is aware of before he calls the constructor.
Providing this seed context allows the context object to derive parts of the current context from other parts, without the need to fall back to the last-resort Padre->ide singleton-fetching method.
Many objects in Padre that are considered to be part of them context will have a current method which automatically creates the context object with it as a seed.
Returns a new Padre::Current object.
