AnyEven...l::Cocoa(3)

omg hi bestie 💖 welcome to the AnyEvent::Impl::Cocoa(3) manual page — a User Contributed Perl Documentation moment — aka the AnyEvent adaptor for Cocoa::EventLoop. Buckle up, it’s short but lowkey iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

AnyEvent::Impl::Cocoa — AnyEvent adaptor for Cocoa::EventLoop.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use AnyEvent;
use Cocoa::EventLoop;

# do something

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this module gives AnyEvent NSRunLoop support. That’s the whole vibe.

NSRunLoop is an event loop for Cocoa applications, wrapped by Cocoa::EventLoop. By using this module, you can use Cocoa based API in your AnyEvent application, or AnyEvent within Cocoa applications — both directions, slay 💅.

One thing tho: it does not support blocking waits. Not supported, periodt. 💀

---

💀 BUGS 💀

Right now, Cocoa::EventLoop (and this module) are in an early development phase and has some shortcomings and likely bugs. No cap, it’s giving “work in progress.”

For example, there seems to be no way to just handle a single event with Cocoa (is there nothing they can implement properly? 😭), so this module currently wakes up at least ten times a second when waiting for events. Also, events caused by timers might get delayed by up to 0.1 seconds. Keep that in mind, bestie 🫶.
