The Vedeu API
Vedeu provides a simple DSL for the creation of terminal/console based applications. Below is a list of all the API methods:
class OtherClassInYourApplication
# ...
def some_method
Vedeu.some_api_method
end
# ...
end
Most of Vedeu's core functionality comes from its API methods, these methods are used in a variety of ways, sometimes in combination:
# with parameters
Vedeu.method_name(*params)
# with a block
Vedeu.method_name(*params) do
# ...
end
# with other methods
Vedeu.method_name.other_method
Nearly all of the API methods have associated Vedeu Events which you can bind to or trigger to achieve the same effect. It is favoured that you trigger events instead of calling API methods as this gives you a bit more visibility when debugging, and flexibility when running your application. However, how you build your application is up to you! (Of course!)
