Global ObjectUI and DialogsSingleton Global

Setting

Setting is used to build dialogs, settings, or HUD overlays. It is exposed as a singleton global namespace.

Detailed Explanation

This section explains when to use the API, how to call it, and which structures it works best with in production flow.

What It Does

Setting is the main entry point for this object family. Use it to understand the responsibility of the namespace before diving into the methods below it. Setting is used to build dialogs, settings, or HUD overlays. It is exposed as a singleton global namespace.

When To Use It

In dialog and HUD flow, validate user input and complete the sequence with close/dispose steps to keep the UI stable. This API becomes most valuable in multi-step chained scenarios.

Parameters and Return

This entry does not require mandatory parameters. This entry is a namespace or helper object overview; the real flow is built with the methods listed below it.

Best Combined With

You can combine it with Setting.builder(), Dialog, Checkbox, EditText, Hud, and Console to build richer operator-facing flows.

Example Usage

The snippet below is a starter pattern that can be applied directly in runtime flow.

lua
Try in Editor →
local cfg = Setting.builder()
cfg:add("delay", EditText("500", 1, "Delay"))
Setting.setDialog(cfg:build())
Setting.show()

Copyable Progressive Examples

From foundation to combined usage, each level is provided as a separate code block so you can copy the level you need and adapt it directly.

Foundation

Shows the shortest direct way to call the API.

Foundation
lua
Try in Editor →
local cfg = Setting.builder()
cfg:add("delay", EditText("500", 1, "Delay"))
Setting.setDialog(cfg:build())
Setting.show()

Simple

Wraps the base call with minimal flow control.

Simple
lua
Try in Editor →
local cfg = Setting.builder()
cfg:add("delay", EditText("500", 1, "Delay"))
Setting.setDialog(cfg:build())
Setting.show()

-- Continue with one focused method on the object.

Practical Flow

A practical pattern for real macros with pcall, logging, and guards.

Practical Flow
lua
Try in Editor →
local cfg = Setting.builder()
cfg:add("delay", EditText("500", 1, "Delay"))
Setting.setDialog(cfg:build())
Setting.show()
local note = "Setting overview loaded"
print(note)

Detailed

This level packages the API into a reusable helper with error reporting.

Detailed
lua
Try in Editor →
-- In dialog and HUD flow, validate user input and complete the sequence with close/dispose steps to keep the UI stable.
local function run_setting_step()
  local cfg = Setting.builder()
  cfg:add("delay", EditText("500", 1, "Delay"))
  Setting.setDialog(cfg:build())
  Setting.show()
end

local ok, err = pcall(run_setting_step)
if not ok then
  toast("Step failed")
  print(err)
end

Combined

Combines the API with related structures to form a more realistic workflow.

Combined
lua
Try in Editor →
local dialog = Setting.builder()
dialog:add("delay", EditText("500", 1, "Delay"))
dialog:add("enabled", Checkbox(true, "Enabled"))
Setting.setDialog(dialog:build())
Setting.show()
local cfg = Setting.builder()
cfg:add("delay", EditText("500", 1, "Delay"))
Setting.setDialog(cfg:build())
Setting.show()
