Data::Printer::Theme - create your own color themes for DDP!

SYNOPSIS¶

    package Data::Printer::Theme::MyCustomTheme;
    sub colors {
        return {
            array       => '#aabbcc', # array index numbers
            number      => '#aabbcc', # numbers
            string      => '#aabbcc', # strings
            class       => '#aabbcc', # class names
            method      => '#aabbcc', # method names
            undef       => '#aabbcc', # the 'undef' value
            hash        => '#aabbcc', # hash keys
            regex       => '#aabbcc', # regular expressions
            code        => '#aabbcc', # code references
            glob        => '#aabbcc', # globs (usually file handles)
            vstring     => '#aabbcc', # version strings (v5.30.1, etc)
            lvalue      => '#aabbcc', # lvalue label
            format      => '#aabbcc', # format type
            repeated    => '#aabbcc', # references to seen values
            caller_info => '#aabbcc', # details on what's being printed
            weak        => '#aabbcc', # weak references flag
            tainted     => '#aabbcc', # tainted flag
            unicode     => '#aabbcc', # utf8 flag
            escaped     => '#aabbcc', # escaped characters (\t, \n, etc)
            brackets    => '#aabbcc', # (), {}, []
            separator   => '#aabbcc', # the "," between hash pairs, array elements, etc
            quotes      => '#aabbcc', # q(")
            unknown     => '#aabbcc', # any (potential) data type unknown to Data::Printer
        };
    }
    1;

Then in your ".dataprinter" file:

    theme = MyCustomTheme

That's it! Alternatively, you can load it at runtime:

    use DDP theme => 'MyCustomTheme';

DESCRIPTION¶

Data::Printer colorizes your output by default. Originally, the only way to customize colors was to override the default ones. Data::Printer 1.0 introduced themes, and now you can pick a theme or create your own.

Data::Printer comes with several themes for you to choose from:

• Material (the default)
• Monokai
• Solarized
• Classic (original pre-1.0 colors)

Run "examples/try_me.pl" to see them in action on your own terminal!

CREATING YOUR THEMES¶

A theme is a module in the "Data::Printer::Theme" namespace. It doesn't have to inherit or load any module. All you have to do is implement a single function, "colors", that returns a hash reference where keys are the expected color labels, and values are the colors you want to use.

Feel free to copy & paste the code from the SYNOPSIS and customize at will :)

    'rgb(0,255,30)'
    '#00FF3B'
