In order to render a menu to the screen an instance of caplin.menu.Model
will need to be provided
to the caplin.menu.Control
. The control will then use an instance of caplin.menu.Generator
to render each model type.
The Caplin menu library provides two default caplin.menu.Model
implementations,
caplin.menu.model.Item
, representing a standard item, and caplin.menu.model.Menu
, which will
provide a simple API to manipulate it. The caplin.menu.Control
provides two default generators,
caplin.menu.generator.Item
and caplin.menu.generator.Menu
which will deal with the rendering
of the two model types provided. You can create your own caplin.menu.Model
implementations along
with the correspondent caplin.menu.Generator
implementation to render them. This custom generators will
then need to be registered on the caplin.menu.Control
linked to each of the caplin.menu.Model
by its type.
The Caplin menu library provides a caplin.menu.model.MenuFactory
which will allow you to
generate instances of caplin.menu.Model
by providing a JSON like config object.
