NAME

Padre::Task::Outline - Generic background processing task to gather structure info on the current document

SYNOPSIS

   package Padre::Task::Outline::MyLanguage;
   
   use base 'Padre::Task::Outline';
   
   sub run {
           my $self = shift;
           my $doc_text = $self->{text};
           # black magic here
           $self->{outline} = ...;
           return 1;
   };
   
   1;
   
   # elsewhere:
   
   # by default, the text of the current document
   # will be fetched as will the document's notebook page.
   my $task = Padre::Task::Outline::MyLanguage->new();
   $task->schedule;
   
   my $task2 = Padre::Task::Outline::MyLanguage->new(
       text   => Padre::Current->document->text_get,
       editor => Padre::Current->editor,
   );
   $task2->schedule;
 
 

DESCRIPTION

This is a base class for all tasks that need to do expensive structure info gathering in a background task.

You can either let "Padre::Task::Outline" fetch the Perl code for parsing from the current document or specify it as the ""text"" parameter to the constructor.

To create a outline gatherer for a given document type "Foo", you create a subclass "Padre::Task::Outline::Foo" and implement the "run" method which uses the "$self->{text}" attribute of the task object for its nefarious structure info gathering purposes and then stores the result in the "$self->{outline}" attribute of the object. The result should be a data structure of the form defined in the documentation of the "Padre::Document::get_outline" method. See Padre::Document.

This base class requires all logic necessary to update the GUI with the structure info in a method "update_gui" of the derived class. That method is called in the "finish()" hook.

SEE ALSO

This class inherits from "Padre::Task" and its instances can be scheduled using "Padre::TaskManager".

The transfer of the objects to and from the worker threads is implemented with Storable.
