NAME
Perl::Editor - The Perl Refactoring Editor API
DESCRIPTION
With the creation of PPI it became possible to do parsing, refactoring, and other tasks to Perl source code. Rather than requiring each editor to reimplement every single task all over again, they can instead implement an interface to Perl::Editor
.
Perl::Editor
is intended to provide a single API that will allow editor-related functions to be written once, as a Perl::Editor::Plugin
class, and then be installed and used with any editor that acts as a Perl::Editor
host.
It is also intended to make it much easier to let you write your own editor plugins, and then use it with whatever your favourite editor happens to be!
STATUS
This version is intended as a statement of intent (and to lock off the namespace. It's mine dammit! MINE!!!)
However, work is underway on a demonstration editor and commands, based on the Proton CE editor.
A demonstration will be released at OSCON and available online shortly after.
WRITING A PLUGIN
We'll get back to you on that.
MAKING YOUR EDITOR COMPATIBLE
Yeah, that too. :)
TO DO
Pretty much everything. Stay tuned.
