Devel:...:LexEnv(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Devel::REPL::Plugin::LexEnv — bestie, it literally provides a lexical environment for the REPL 🫶

It's the plugin that hands your REPL a real, actual lex env so the stuff you use and the vars you my stay alive between lines. It's giving "I got you" energy, fr fr.

✨ VERSION ✨

This is version 1.003029 — that's the one, no cap 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so here's the whole vibe, copy it exactly, don't freestyle it:

# in your re.pl file:
use Devel::REPL;
my $repl = Devel::REPL->new;
$repl->load_plugin('LexEnv');

$repl->lexical_environment->do(<<'CODEZ');
use FindBin;
use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib";
use MyApp::Schema;
my $s = MyApp::Schema->connect('dbi:Pg:dbname=foo','broseph','elided');
CODEZ

$repl->run;

# after you run re.pl:
$ warn $s->resultset('User')->first->first_name # <-- note that $s works

Like. The $s you declared inside that heredoc? It survives. It shows up in your REPL like it never left. That's the whole point and it's lowkey iconic 💅
