NAME

Padre::Current - convenient access to current objects within Padre

SYNOPSIS

        my $main = Padre::Current->main;
        ...

DESCRIPTION

Padre uses lots of objects from different classes. And one needs to have access to the current object of this sort or this other to do whatever is need at the time.

Instead of poking directly with the various classes to find the object you need, Padre::Current provides a bunch of handy methods to retrieve whatever current object you need.

METHODS

new

  # Vanilla constructor
  Padre::Current->new;
  
  # Seed the object with some context
  Padre::Current->new( document => $document );

The new constructor creates a new context object, it optionally takes one or more named parameters which should be any context the caller is aware of before he calls the constructor.

Providing this seed context allows the context object to derive parts of the current context from other parts, without the need to fall back to the last-resort Padre->ide singleton-fetching method.

Many objects in Padre that are considered to be part of them context will have a current method which automatically creates the context object with it as a seed.

Returns a new Padre::Current object.

ide

Return the Padre singleton for the IDE instance.

config

Returns the current Padre::Config configuration object for the IDE.

main

Returns the Padre::Wx::Main object for the main window.

notebook

Returns the Padre::Wx::Notebook object for the main window.

document

Returns the active Padre::Document document object.

editor

Returns the Padre::Editor editor object for the active document.

filename

Returns the filename of the active document, if it has one.

title

Return the title of current editor window.

project

Return the Padre::Project project object for the active document.

text

Returns the selected text, or a null string if nothing is selected.
