SettingBuilder

The dialog builder from Setting.builder() or Dialog.init(). Add fields with add(key, view); build() returns the dialog and build():show() returns the user’s answers.

Detailed Explanation

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

How To Call It

SettingBuilder is not a global name; call its methods with a colon on a dialog builder from Setting.builder() or Dialog.init().

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.

Parameters and Return

SettingBuilder offers 12 methods; each method page lists its parameters and return value.

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 builder = Setting.builder()
builder:setTitle("Macro settings")
builder:add("delay", EditText("500", 1, "Delay (ms)"))
local result = builder:build():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 builder = Setting.builder()
builder:setTitle("Macro settings")
builder:add("delay", EditText("500", 1, "Delay (ms)"))
local result = builder:build():show()

Simple

Wraps the base call with minimal flow control.

Simple
lua
Try in Editor →
local builder = Setting.builder()
builder:setTitle("Macro settings")
builder:add("delay", EditText("500", 1, "Delay (ms)"))
local result = builder:build():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 builder = Setting.builder()
builder:setTitle("Macro settings")
builder:add("delay", EditText("500", 1, "Delay (ms)"))
local result = builder:build():show()
local note = "SettingBuilder 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_settingbuilder_step()
  local builder = Setting.builder()
  builder:setTitle("Macro settings")
  builder:add("delay", EditText("500", 1, "Delay (ms)"))
  local result = builder:build():show()
end

local ok, err = pcall(run_settingbuilder_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 builder = Setting.builder()
builder:setTitle("Macro settings")
builder:add("delay", EditText("500", 1, "Delay (ms)"))
local result = builder:build():show()
