def self.restart(configuration)
  new(configuration).start

.start(configuration) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Parameters:

def self.start(configuration)
  new(configuration).start
end

.stop ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Stops the application!

  • The ‘:cleanup` event is triggered, which in turn triggers the client event `:cleanup`; the client application may treat this event as Vedeu signalling that it is about to terminate. Client applications are encouraged to use this event to close any open buffers, save files, empty trash, etc.

Instance Method Details

#main_sequence ⇒ void (private)

This method returns an undefined value.

For an interactive application we capture input, (usually from the user), and continue the main loop. If the client application does not require user input then Vedeu triggers the ‘:standalone` event for each run of the main loop. The client application is expected to respond to this event and ’do something useful’. When the client application has finished, it should trigger the ‘:exit` event.

def main_sequence
  if configuration.interactive?
    Input.capture(Terminal)

  else
    Vedeu.trigger(:_standalone_)

  end
end

#run_many ⇒ void (private)

This method returns an undefined value.

Runs the application in a continuous loop. This loop is stopped when an uncaught exception occurs or when either the ‘:mode_switch` or `:exit` event is triggered.

def run_many

rescue ModeSwitch
  Terminal.switch_mode!

  Vedeu.trigger(:_drb_restart_)

  Application.restart(configuration)

end

#runner ⇒ void (private)

This method returns an undefined value.

Runs the application loop either once, or forever (exceptions and signals permitting).

  end
end

#start ⇒ Array

Starts the application!

  • A new terminal screen is opened (or rather the current terminal is requested into either :raw or :cooked mode).

  • The cursor visibility is then set dependent on this mode. In :raw mode, the cursor is hidden.

  • The ‘:initialize` event is triggered. The client application is may treat this event as Vedeu signalling that it is now ready.

  • We enter into the main sequence where the application will either run once or continuous, interactively or standalone.

Returns:

  • (Array) —

    The last output sent to the terminal.
