UI(3pm)

💅 Lire::UI — like, the manual page for it (UI(3pm)) 🎀

okay so bestie, this is UI(3pm) from the LogReport's Lire Documentation set, and it's basically the vibe check for talking to a DLF store through a whole curses interface 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

Lire::UI — literally the interface to a DLF store, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole little ritual, exactly as it goes:

  use Lire::Config;
  use Lire::UI;
  use Lire::PluginManager;

  Lire::Config->init();

  Lire::PluginManager->register_default_plugins();
  my $ui = Lire::UI->new();
  $ui->curses_ui()->clear_on_exit( 1 );
  exit( $ui->mainloop() );

like, that's the whole entrance exam 💖

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so the Lire::UI object creates a Curses::UI application. that's the whole main-character moment, periodt ✨

🎀 curses_ui() 🎀

Returns the Curses::UI object that's used for the interface. that's it — that's the whole method, and honestly? iconic 💅

⭐ edit_value_dialog( $value, [$title] ) ⭐

Opens a modal dialog where you can edit the Lire::Config::Value $value 💖

the dialog comes with an OK button and a Cancel button, and it contains exactly one Lire::UI::Widget that's appropriate for whatever type $value happens to be — like, it just knows 🧚

the method returns true when the OK button was selected, and false otherwise. no in-between, no situationships 🙈
