NAME

Tickit::Async - use Tickit with IO::Async

SYNOPSIS

   use IO::Async;
   use Tickit::Async;

   my $tickit = Tickit::Async->new;

   # Create some widgets
   # ...

   $tickit->set_root_widget( $rootwidget );

   my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;
   $loop->add( $tickit );

   $tickit->run;

DESCRIPTION

This class allows a Tickit user interface to run alongside other IO::Async-driven code, using IO::Async as a source of IO events.

As a shortcut convenience, a containing IO::Async::Loop will be constructed using the default magic constructor the first time it is needed, if the object is not already a member of a loop. This will allow a Tickit::Async object to be used without being aware it is not a simple Tickit object.

To avoid accidentally creating multiple loops, callers should be careful to add the Tickit::Async object to the main application's loop if one already exists as soon as possible after construction.
