DESCRIPTION

Caroline is yet another line editing library like Term::ReadLine::Gnu.

This module supports

History handling

Complition

METHODS

my $caroline = Caroline->new();

Create new Caroline instance.

Options are:

history : ArrayRef[Str]

You can pass the older history data for constructor.

completion_callback : CodeRef

You can write completion callback function like this:

my $c = Caroline->new(
    completion_callback => sub {
        my ($line) = @_;
        if ($line eq 'h') {
            return (
                'hello',
                'hello there'
            );
        } elsif ($line eq 'm') {
            return (
                '突然のmattn'
            );
        }
        return;
    },
);

my $line = $caroline->read($prompt);

Read line with $prompt.

Trailing newline is removed. Returns undef on EOF.

$caroline->history()

Get the current history data in ArrayRef[Str] .

Multi byte character support

If you want to support multi byte characters, you need to set binmode to STDIN. You can add the following code before call Caroline.

use Term::Encoding qw(term_encoding);
my $encoding = term_encoding();
binmode *STDIN, ":encoding(${encoding})";
