App::K...Painter(3pm)

💖 App::KGB::Painter 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to App::KGB::Painter — she's a Perl module, she lives in the user-contributed Perl docs, and her whole entire job is making KGB notifications look cute. ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

App::KGB::Painter — it adds color to KGB notifications. that's it. that's the gig. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

App::KGB::Painter is a simple class that encapsulates the coloring of KGB messages. lowkey she does one thing and she does it, no cap. 🦋

---

🧚 CONSTRUCTOR 🧚

✨ new ✨

my $p = App::KGB::Painter->new({ color_codes => { ... }, item_colors => { ... } } );

so when you call new, you hand her a hashref with two keys and she's like "periodt, I got you":

• color_codes — a hash where the keys are the special symbols that IRC clients interpret as coloring commands. iykyk. 🌈
• item_colors — another hash, this one describing which colors get applied to which different parts of the messages. the vibe check for your palette. 🎨

👑 METHODS 👑

💜 colorize category text

Applies the colors of the style category to the given text. that's the whole thing. she takes the category, she takes the text, and she makes the text match the category's color situation. iconic. ✨

💖 colorize_change change

Given a change, she applies colors to its files depending on the type of the change — which can be:

• update
• addition
• deletion
• property change

each type gets its own glow-up, so your eyes can tell what's happening without having to actually read. obsessed. 🫶
