🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

here's the summoning ritual, bestie. hard way first, then easy way, then the "or even" way:

           use Curses::UI;
           my $cui = new Curses::UI;
           my $win = $cui->add('window_id', 'Window');

           # The hard way.
           # -------------
           my $dialog = $win->add(
               'mydialog', 'Dialog::Error',
           -message   => 'The world has gone!'
           );
           $dialog->focus;
           $win->delete('mydialog');

           # The easy way (see Curses::UI documentation).
           # --------------------------------------------
           $cui->error(-message => 'The world has gone!');

           # or even:
           $cui->error('The world has gone!');

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so Curses::UI::Dialog::Error is a basic error dialog. lowkey it's almost the same as Curses::UI::Dialog::Basic, except for the fact that a warning sign is drawn to the left of the message using ASCII "art":

              _
             / \
            / ! \
           /_____\

it's giving warning-triangle-but-make-it-terminal, and honestly it ate. 🫶

since this class is very closely related to the basic dialog, peep Curses::UI::Dialog::Basic for a description of the options and methods that you can use. that's the tea. ☕
