Devel::REPL::Plugin::FancyPrompt - Facilitate user-defined prompts
version 1.003028
use Devel::REPL; my $repl = Devel::REPL->new; $repl->load_plugin('MultiLine::PPI'); # for indent depth $repl->load_plugin('Packages'); # for current package $repl->load_plugin('FancyPrompt'); $repl->run;
FancyPrompt helps you write your own prompts. The default fancy prompt resembles irb
's default prompt. The default fancy_prompt
looks like this:
re.pl(main):001:0> 2 + 2 4
re.pl
is a constant. main
is the current package. The first number is how many lines have been read so far. The second number (only if you have a MultiLine
plugin) is how deep you are; intuitively, your indent level. This default can be implemented with:
$_REPL->fancy_prompt(sub { my $self = shift; sprintf 're.pl(%s):%03d%s> ', $self->can('current_package') ? $self->current_package : 'main', $self->lines_read, $self->can('line_depth') ? ':' . $self->line_depth : ''; });
current_package
is provided by Devel::REPL::Plugin::Packages (which tracks the current package). line_depth
is provided by a MultiLine
plugin (probably MultiLine::PPI
).
You may also set a fancy_continuation_prompt
. The default is very similar to fancy_prompt
's default (except *
instead of >
).
Bugs may be submitted through the RT bug tracker (or bug-Devel-REPL@rt.cpan.org).
There is also an irc channel available for users of this distribution, at #devel
