Padre::Action - Padre Action Object

SYNOPSIS

Top

  my $action = Padre::Action->new(
    name       => 'file.save',
    label      => 'Save',
    comment    => 'Saves the current file to disk',
    icon       => '...',
    shortcut   => 'CTRL-S',
    menu_event => sub { },
  );

DESCRIPTION

Top

This is the base class for the Padre Action API.

To be documented...

-- Ahmad M. Zawawi

KEYS

Top

Each module is constructed using a number of keys. While only the name is technically required there are few reasons for actions which lack a label or menu_event.

The keys are listed here in the order they usually appear.

name

Each action requires an unique name which is used to reference and call it.

The name usually has the syntax

	group.action

Both group and action should only contain \w+ chars.

label

Text which is shown in menus and allows the user to see what this action does.

Remember to use Wx::gettext to make this translatable.

need_editor

This action should only be enabled/shown if there is a open editor window with a (potentially unsaved) document in it.

The action may be called anyway even if there is no editor (all documents closed), but it shouldn't.

Set to a value of 1 to use it.

need_file

This action should only be enabled/shown if the current document has a file name (meaning there is a copy on disk which may be older than the in-memory document).

The action may be called anyway even if there is no file name for the current document, but it shouldn't.

Set to a value of 1 to use it.

need_modified

This action should only be enabled/shown if the current document has either been modified after the last save or was never saved on disk at all.

The action may be called anyway even if the file is up-to-date with the in-memory document, but it shouldn't.

Set to a value of 1 to use it.

need_selection

This action should only be enabled/shown if there is some text selected within the current document.

The action may be called anyway even if nothing is selected, but it shouldn't.

Set to a value of 1 to use it.

need

Expected to contain a CODE reference which returns either true or false.

If the code returns true, the action should be enabled/shown, otherwise it shouldn't, usually because it won't make sense to use this action without whatever_is_checked_by_the_code. (For example, UNDO can't be used if there was no change which could be undone.)

The CODE receives a list of objects which should help with the decision:

	config		contains the current configuration object
	editor		the current editor object
	document	the current document object
	main		the main Wx object

A typical sub for handling would look like this:

	need => sub {
			my %objects = @_;
			return 0 if !defined( $objects{editor} );
			return $objects{editor}->CanUndo;
		},

Use this with caution! As this function is called very often there are few to no checks and if this isn't a CODE reference, Padre may crash at all or get very slow if your CODE is inefficient and requires a lot of processing time.

comment

A comment (longer than label) which could be used in lists. It should contain a short description of what this action does.

Remember to use Wx::gettext to make this translatable.

icon

If there is an icon for this action, specify it here.

shortcut

The shortcut may be set by the user. This key sets the default shortcut to be used if there is no user-defined value.

METHODS

Top

new

A default constructor for action objects.
