NAME

FBP::Perl - Generate Perl GUI code from wxFormBuilder .fbp files

SYNOPSIS

  my $fbp = FBP->new;
  $fbp->parse_file( 'MyProject.fbp' );
  
  my $generator = FBP::Perl->new(
      project => $fbp->project
  );
  
  open( FILE, '>', 'MyDialog.pm');
  print $generator->flatten(
      $generator->dialog_class(
          $fbp->dialog('MyDialog')
      )
  );
  close FILE;

DESCRIPTION

FBP::Perl is a cross-platform Perl code generator for the cross-platform wxFormBuilder GUI designer application.

Used with the FBP module for parsing native wxFormBuilder save files, it allows the production of complete standalone classes representing a complete Wx dialog, frame or panel as it appears in wxFormBuilder.

As code generators go, the Wx code produced by FBP::Perl is remarkebly readable. The produced code can be used either as a starter template which you modify, or as a pristine class which you subclass in order to customise.

Born from the Padre Perl IDE project, the code generation API provided by FBP::Perl is also extremely amenable to being itself subclassed.

This allows you to relatively easily write customised code generators that produce output more closely tailored to your large Wx-based application, or to automatically integrate Perl Tidy or other beautifiers into your workflow.
