NAME

ProgressMonitor::Stringify::AbstractMonitor - A reusable/abstract monitor implementation that deals in stringified feedback.

DESCRIPTION

This is an abstract base class for monitors that will render their result as a string through the use of 'fields' (see the Fields packages).

PROTECTED METHODS

_new( $hashRef, $package )

Configuration data: maxWidth (default => 79) The monitor should have this maxWidth. The actual width used may be less. This depends on the fields it uses; specifically, if dynamic fields are used, they will be given width until all is used or until the dynamic fields themselves have reached their maxWidth if any. fields (default => []) An array ref with field instances.

Throws X::ProgressMonitor::InsufficientWidth if the maxWidth is to small to handle the minimum requirements for all the fields.

_toString

Contains the logic to assemble the fields into a current string.
