Module Lwt_read_line.Control
module Control: sig..end
Controlling a running read-line instance
type 'a t
Type of a running read-line instance, returning a value of
type 'a
Control ¶
Threads waiting for the read-line instance to terminates
val send_command : 'a t -> Lwt_read_line.Command.t -> unit
send_command instance command sends the given command to the
read-line instance
val accept : 'a t -> unit
accept instance = send_command instance Command.Accept_line
val interrupt : 'a t -> unit
accept instance = send_command instance Command.Break
Hides everything (prompt, user input, completion box) until
Lwt_read_line.Control.show is called.
Un-hide everything
Note: in case the input is not a terminal, read-line instances
are not controllable. i.e. Lwt_read_line.Control.accept, refresh, ... have no
effect.
Creation of read-line instances ¶
type prompt = Lwt_read_line.Engine.state React.signal -> Lwt_term.styled_text React.signal
The prompt a signal which may depends on the engine state
type state
State of an instance
val engine_state : state -> Lwt_read_line.Engine.state
Return the engine state of the given state
val render_state : state -> Lwt_read_line.Terminal.state
Return the rendering state of the given state
val make :
?history:Lwt_read_line.history ->
?complete:Lwt_read_line.completion ->
?clipboard:Lwt_read_line.clipboard ->
?mode:[ `classic | `none | `real_time ] ->
?map_text:(Text.t -> Text.t) ->
?filter:(state ->
Lwt_read_line.Command.t -> Lwt_read_line.Command.t Lwt.t) ->
map_result:(Text.t -> 'a Lwt.t) ->
?prompt:prompt -> unit -> 'a t
Creates a new read-line instance with the given
parameters. filter is called to handle commands. You can
return Command.Nop to drop a command.
