Perl version of the Atlas toolkit

A fast and easy way to add a graphical user interface (GUI) to your Perl programs.

With the Atlas toolkit, both front and back ends are handled by the same code, and the programs will also be reachable from all over the internet.

Only basic knowledge of web technologies are required (no JavaScript knowledge required). And, with the Atlas toolkit, you can easily add a GUI to a programs originally designed to have a CLI, so the users of this programs can choose which interface they want to use.

Hello, World!

Here's how a Hello, World! type program made with the Atlas toolkit looks like:

• git clone http://github.com/epeios-q37/atlas-perl
• cd atlas-perl
• perl Hello/Hello.py

For a live demonstration: http://q37.info/s/zmzcxvm9 (other live demonstrations: https://q37.info/s/sssznrb4).

Source code:

use Atlas;

my $body = '
<div style="display: table; margin: 50px auto auto auto;">
 <fieldset>
  <input id="input" maxlength="20" placeholder="Enter a name here" type="text"
         data-xdh-onevent="Submit" value="World"/>
  <div style="display: flex; justify-content: space-around; margin: 5px auto auto auto;">
   <button data-xdh-onevent="Submit">Submit</button>
   <button data-xdh-onevent="Clear">Clear</button>
  </div>
 </fieldset>
</div>';

sub acConnect {
    my ($hello, $dom) = @_;

    $dom->setLayout("",$body);
    $dom->focus("input");
}

sub acSubmit {
    my ($hello, $dom) = @_;

    $dom->alert("Hello, " . $dom->getContent("input") . "!");
    $dom->focus("input");
}

sub acClear {
    my ($hello, $dom) = @_;

    if ( $dom->confirm("Are you sure?") ) {
        $dom->setContent("input", "");
    }

    $dom->focus("input");
}

my %callbacks = (
    "" => \&acConnect,
    "Submit" => \&acSubmit,
    "Clear" => \&acClear,
);

Atlas::launch(\%callbacks);
