NAME

ProgressMonitor::Stringify::ToCallback - a monitor implementation that provides stringified feedback to a callback.

SYNOPSIS

  ...
  # call someTask and give it a monitor to call us back
  # on callback, just do something unimaginative (print it...:-) and return 0 (don't cancel)
  #
  someTask(ProgressMonitor::Stringify::ToCallback->new({fields => [ ... ], tickCallback => sub { print "GOT: ", shift(), "\n"; 0; });

DESCRIPTION

This is a concrete implementation of a ProgressMonitor. It will send the stringified feedback to a callback (code ref) supplied by the user.

Inherits from ProgressMonitor::Stringify::AbstractMonitor.

METHODS

new( $hashRef )

Note that the maxWidth must be set explicitly.

Configuration data:

tickCallback

A code reference to an anonymous sub. For each rendering tick, it will be called with the rendered string as the argument. The return value will be used to set the cancellation status.

messageCallback

A code reference that will be called specifically with the current message. Note that setting this changes the behavior of tickCallback; normally, tickCallback will receive the rendered string including any message. However, by setting messageCallback, the message will be skipped during rendition of the ordinary fields. Also, if this is set, the strategy used is of no importance.

errorMessageCallback

A code reference that will be called with the current error message.
