TEST2::EVENTFACET::RENDER(3perl)

💖 NAME 💖

Test2::EventFacet::Render — it's the facet that decides how an event gets rendered, bestie. Literally the glow-up filter for your test output. ✨

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so listen. This facet is what tells the standard test2 rendering tools how an event should be shown off. And here's the tea: if this facet is present, then ONLY what it specifies gets rendered. That's it. Nothing else. Periodt. 💅

So the vibe is — anything important or note-worthy better be in here, because no other facets will even be considered for rendering or display. They're giving background dancer energy. Nobody's looking at them. 😭

Also it's a list type facet, which means you can stack as many items in there as you need. Add one, add twelve, whatever, she's flexible. 🦋

🌸 FIELDS 🌸

• $string = $render->[#]->{details}
• $string = $render->[#]->details()

The human readable text you actually want on screen. This is the main character of the whole facet, ngl. 👑

• $string = $render->[#]->{tag}
• $string = $render->[#]->tag()

A tag that prefixes / identifies the main text. Like a little name badge so you know who's talking. 🎀

• $string = $render->[#]->{facet}
• $string = $render->[#]->facet()

Optional! If the display text was generated from another facet, put that facet's name here so everybody knows where it came from. Credit where credit's due. 🫶

• $mode = $render->[#]->{mode}
• $mode = $render->[#]->mode()

Two possible moods, and yes she contains multitudes:

• calculated — means the facet was generated from another facet. Calculated facets may be cleared and regenerated whenever the event state changes. She's a shapeshifter, lowkey. 🔄
• replace — means the facet is intended to replace the normal rendering of the event. Not a supporting role. She is the show. 🎬
