Tickit...Border(3pm)

💖 Tickit::Widget::Border — the perl manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so you know Tickit::Widget::Border? It's the little icon that draws a fixed-size border around a widget 🎀 like it literally just wraps your fave widget in a cute lil frame and says "you're the moment". It lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, manual section 3pm, iykyk.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Tickit;
use Tickit::Widget::Border;
use Tickit::Widget::Static;

my $border = Tickit::Widget::Border->new
   ->set_child(
      Tickit::Widget::Static->new(
         text   => "Hello, world",
         align  => "centre",
         valign => "middle",
      )
   );

Tickit->new( root => $border )->run;

no cap, that's the whole vibe right there 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This container widget holds a single child widget — one (1) child, that's it, it's giving monogamy 💅 — and it implements a border by using Tickit::WidgetRole::Borderable.

---

🌈 STYLE 🌈

The default style pen is used as the widget pen. that's it, that's the tea ☕

---

🎀 CONSTRUCTOR 🎀

new

$border = Tickit::Widget::Border->new( %args );

Constructs a new Tickit::Widget::Border object ✨ iconic behavior.

It takes arguments having the names of any of the set_* methods listed below — just without the set_ prefix 🫶 so if you see set_top_border down there, you just pass top_border.
