DESCRIPTION
App::Raps2::UI is used by App::Raps2 to interface with the user, i.e. do input and output on the terminal.
METHODS
- $ui = App::Raps2::UI->new()
-
Returns a new App::Raps2::UI object.
- $ui->list(\@item1, \@item2, \@item3)
-
Print the list items neatly formatted to stdout. Each item looks like [ key, value ]. When list is called for the first time, it will print the keys as well as the values.
- $ui->read_line($question, [$prefill])
-
Print "question: " to stdout and wait for the user to input text followed by a newline. prefill sets the default content of the answer field.
Returns the user's reply, excluding the newline.
- $ui->read_multiline($message)
-
Like read_line, but repeats message each time the user hits return. Input is terminated by EOF (Ctrl+D). Returns a string concatenation of all lines (including newlines).
- $ui->read_pw($message, $verify)
-
Prompt the user for a password. message is displayed, the user's input is noch echoed. If verify is set, the user has to enter the same input twice, otherwise read_pw dies. Returns the input.
- $ui->to_clipboard($string, [command])
-
Call command to place string in the primary X Clipboard. command defaults to
xclip -l 1
.Returns true upon success, undef if the operation failed. Use $! to get the error message.
- $ui->output(\@pair, ...)
-
pair consinsts of [ key, value ]. For each pair, prints " key : value" to stdout.
