Overview

A boolean input on one row. Space, Enter or a left click toggles it:

[x] Enable syslog forwarding
[ ] Enable syslog forwarding

cb = Component::Checkbox.new("Enable syslog forwarding", value: true)
cb.on_value_change = ->(on) { config.syslog = on }
cb.toggle       # unchecks it, firing the listener with false
cb.checked?     # => false

#value is the canonical seam (HasValue), always true/false and never nil; #checked? / #checked= / #toggle are the domain-word face over it — one piece of state, four names. Unchecked is the #empty_value, so a fresh checkbox is empty and HasValue#clear unchecks.

Space and Enter both toggle — same as a checkable row in a List (CheckboxGroup, RadioGroup), so the gesture reads the same standalone and grouped. A focused checkbox therefore consumes Enter: a form's Enter-to-submit on an ancestor won't see it, exactly as with a focused Button or TextArea. Which widget lets Enter through is per widget, never a framework guarantee — book ch5's Enter table is the list.

A tab stop, so Tab lands on it, and the widget highlights while on the focus chain. Assign a #rect (typically from the surrounding Layout) at least caption.display_width + 4 wide; a narrower one ellipsizes the caption, a wider one leaves a dead tail — see #extent.

Implementation details

The glyphs are a house convention rather than constants: three columns plus a trailing space ([x] , [ ] ), ASCII because ☑/☐ are absent from most monospace fonts and the fallback glyph bleeds over its cell. A widget painting checkbox-like rows without instantiating a Checkbox — checkable rows in a List — repeats those literals to match.

Constructor Details

#initialize(caption = nil, value: false) ⇒ Checkbox

@param caption — the label, coerced as HasCaption#caption= coerces it.

@param value — initial state. Assigned through #value=, which also seeds the backing ivar — an unseeded checkbox would read nil and so report itself non-empty while fresh.

Parameters:

  • caption (?(String | StyledString), nil) (defaults to: nil)
  • value: (Boolean) (defaults to: false)

end

Instance Method Details

#caption ⇒ StyledString

Read through this method, never @caption — the ivar stays nil until the first non-empty set (#caption= short-circuits when unchanged).

@return — the caption; empty when never set.

Returns:



3030
 
# File 'sig/tuile.rbs', line 3030

def caption: () -> StyledString

#caption= ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Sets the caption and invalidates the component. No-op when unchanged. A String is parsed via StyledString.parse (embedded ANSI is honored); a StyledString is used as-is; nil clears it.

@param new_caption

Parameters:



3037
 
# File 'sig/tuile.rbs', line 3037

def caption=: ((String | StyledString)? new_caption) -> void

#checked=(new_value) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

#value= under its domain word. A delegator rather than an alias, so it keeps routing through the one write path even if a subclass overrides #value= (an alias would freeze this onto the body defined here).

@param new_value — anything; truthiness decides.

Parameters:

  • new_value (Object)

# File 'lib/tuile/component/checkbox.rb', line 77

def checked=(new_value)
  self.value = new_value
end

#checked? ⇒ Boolean

@return — #value under its domain word — license.checked? reads better than license.value. Not a second piece of state.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


70
 
# File 'lib/tuile/component/checkbox.rb', line 70

def checked? = value

#clear ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Resets #value to #empty_value.



3046
 
# File 'sig/tuile.rbs', line 3046

def clear: () -> void

#empty? ⇒ Boolean

@return — true iff #value equals #empty_value.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


3043
 
# File 'sig/tuile.rbs', line 3043

def empty?: () -> bool

#empty_value ⇒ Boolean

@return — false — HasValue#empty? means unchecked.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


57
 
# File 'lib/tuile/component/checkbox.rb', line 57

def empty_value = false

#extent ⇒ Rect

The cells the widget actually paints: one row, caption.display_width + 4 columns, clipped to Tuile::Component#rect. A form column routinely hands a checkbox a 40-column rect for a 22-column [ ] Enable syslog forwarding — the extent is those 22 columns.

Both the focus highlight and the click hit test use it, so a click on the blank tail — or on a lower row, when the rect is taller than one — does not toggle. It still focuses: Tuile::Component#handle_mouse's click-to-focus is ungated by geometry, and the tail is the field's own row.

The extent ignores Tuile::Component#bg_color: an inherited tint paints the dead tail, but a hit test that silently widened with a background would be a mode switch invisible in the code and untestable by inspection.

Returns:



99
 
# File 'lib/tuile/component/checkbox.rb', line 99

def extent = Rect.new(rect.left, rect.top, [caption.display_width + 4, rect.width].min, 1)

#focusable? ⇒ Boolean

Input fields are focusable by default (overrides Tuile::Component#focusable?); a read-only display field could override back to false. Only focusable? lives here — tab_stop? diverges between leaf fields and composing wrappers, so it stays per-class (DECISIONS.md D-integer-field).

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


3053
 
# File 'sig/tuile.rbs', line 3053

def focusable?: () -> bool

#handle_key(key) ⇒ Boolean

Toggles on Space or Enter. Every other key is left unhandled so it bubbles to an ancestor.

@param key

Parameters:

  • key (String)

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def handle_key(key)
  return false unless [" ", Keys::ENTER].include?(key)

  toggle
  true
end

#handle_mouse(event) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Toggles on a left click within #extent; super runs first, so a click anywhere in Tuile::Component#rect still focuses.

@param event

  label = (StyledString.plain(value ? "[x] " : "[ ] ") + caption).ellipsize(rect.width)
  label = label.with_bg(screen.theme.active_bg_color) if active?
  draw_line(rect.left, rect.top, label)
end

#tab_stop? ⇒ Boolean

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


54
 
# File 'lib/tuile/component/checkbox.rb', line 54

def tab_stop? = true

#toggle ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Flips #value.



83
 
# File 'lib/tuile/component/checkbox.rb', line 83

def toggle = (self.value = !value)

#value ⇒ Object

@return — the current value; nil until first set.

Returns:

  • (Object) 


3040
 
# File 'sig/tuile.rbs', line 3040

def value: () -> Object

#value=(new_value) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Coerces to true/false before storing, so the two-state invariant holds whatever a caller assigns — and cb.value = nil on a fresh checkbox is the no-op it looks like rather than a spurious change event.

@param new_value — anything; truthiness decides.

Parameters:

  • new_value (Object)
