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 file name 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.
