DESCRIPTION

WARNING: This is a preview release. API is subject to change in future, please get in contact if you're using this, or wait for version 1.000.

This widget provides a scrollable table implementation.

METHODS

new

Instantiate. Will attempt to take focus.

METHODS - Table content

clear

Clear all data in the table.

add_row

Add a row to the table. Data should be provided as a list with one item per column.

Returns $self.

add_column

Add a new column. Takes the following named parameters:

• width - (optional) number of columns

• type - (optional) data type, currently only supports 'text' (the default)

• align - (optional) align left, center or right

Returns $self.

METHODS - Callbacks

on_activate

Accessor for the activation callback - if called without parameters, will return the current coderef (if any), otherwise, will set the new callback.

This callback will be triggered via "key_activate":

If multiselect is enabled, the callback will have the following:

 $code->(
   [$highlight_row_index, @selected_row_indices],
   $highlight_row_data_as_arrayref,
   @selected_rows_as_arrayrefs

(the selected row data + index list could be empty here)

TODO

Current list of pending features:

• Storage abstraction - the main difference between this widget and Tickit::Widget::Table is that this is designed to work with a storage abstraction. The current abstraction implementation needs more work before it's reliable enough for release, so this version only has basic arrayref support.

• Column and cell highlighting modes

• Proper widget-in-cell support

• Formatters for converting raw cell data into printable format (without having to go through a separate widget)

SEE ALSO

• Tickit::Widget::Table - older table implementation based on Tickit::Widget::HBox and Tickit::Widget::VBox widgets. Does not support scrolling and performance isn't as good, so it will eventually be merged with this one.

• Text::ANSITable - not part of Tickit but has some impressive styling capabilities.
