# How-To
After downloading the project you can finally start creating your own program and use basalt. The first thing you want to use in your program is always:
```lua
local basalt = require("basalt")
```
It doesn't matter if you're using the source folder or the minified/packed version of basalt. Both can be found by using require("basalt") without .lua.
Also to really run basalt you should use
```lua
basalt.autoUpdate()
```
somewhere on the bottom of your program. basalt.autoUpdate() starts the event listener and the draw handler.
## Example
Here is a fully working example of how a program could look like:
```lua
local basalt = require("basalt") --> Load the basalt framework into the variable called "basalt"
--> Now we want to create a base frame, we call the variable "main" - by default everything you create is visible. (you don't need to use :show())
local main = basalt.createFrame()
local button = main:addButton() --> Here we add our first button
button:setPosition(4, 4) -- of course we want to change the default position of our button
button:setSize(16, 3) -- and the default size.
button:setText("Click me!") --> This method displays what the text of our button should look like
local function buttonClick() --> Let us create a function we want to call when the button gets clicked
basalt.debug("I got clicked!")
end
-- Now we just need to register the function to the buttons onClick event handlers, this is how we can achieve that:
button:onClick(buttonClick)
basalt.autoUpdate() -- As soon as we call basalt.autoUpdate, the event and draw handlers will listen to any incomming events (and draw if necessary)
```
If you're like us and strive for succinct and beautiful code, here is a cleaner implementation of the code above:
```lua
local basalt = require("basalt")
local main = basalt.createFrame()
local button = main --> Basalt returns an instance of the object on most methods, to make use of "call-chaining"
:addButton() --> This is an example of call chaining
:setPosition(4,4)
:setText("Click me!")
:onClick(
function()
basalt.debug("I got clicked!")
end)
basalt.autoUpdate()
```

## HowTo Use
To load the framework into your project, make use of the following code on top of your code.
```lua
local basalt = require("basalt")
```
It does not matter if you have installed the single file version or the full folder project. <br>
Both versions can be loaded by using `require("Basalt")`, you dont need to add `.lua`.
## Download
### Download the folder version
This version is for people who'd like to work with Basalt, change something in Basalt or checkout the project.<br>
But you are also able to just use it to create your own UI.<br>
To install the full project to your CC:Tweaked Computer, use the following command on your CC:Tweaked shell:
`pastebin run ESs1mg7P`
This will download the project as a folder called "Basalt". You are immediatly after the download is done able to use it in your projects.
### Download the single file version
This is the version you should use if you're done with programming. It is a little bit faster and it is also minified, which makes the project smaller.
To install the single filed project to your CC:Tweaked Computer, use the following command on your CC:Tweaked shell:
`pastebin run ESs1mg7P packed`
This will download the project as a single file called "basalt.lua". You are immediatly after the download is done able to use it in your projects.
### Basalt Package Manager
The Basalt Package Manager is still in alpha!<br><br>
The Basalt Package Manager is a visual installer, you are able to change some settings, also to choose which objects are necessary for your projects and which are not.
To install the BPM (Basalt Package Manager) use the following command on your CC:Tweaked shell:
`pastebin run ESs1mg7P bpm true`
The true keyword in the end is optional and would simply start BPM immediately.
## Example
Here is a fully functioning example of Basalt code
```lua
local basalt = require("basalt") --> Load the Basalt framework
--> Create the first frame. Please note that Basalt needs at least one active "non-parent" frame to properly supply events
--> When Basalt#createFrame makes use of unique identifiers (commonly referred to as UIDs), meaning that the supplied value must be UNIQUE
local mainFrame = basalt.createFrame("mainFrame")
--> Show the frame to the user
mainFrame:show()
local button = mainFrame:addButton("clickableButton") --> Add a button to the mainFrame (With a unique identifier)
--> Set the position of the button, Button#setPosition follows an x, y pattern.
--> The x value is how far right the object should be from its anchor (negative values from an anchor will travel left)
--> The y value is how far down the object should be from its anchor (negative values from an anchor will travel up)
button:setPosition(4, 4)
button:setText("Click me!") --> Set the text of our button
local function buttonClick() --> This function serves as our click logic
basalt.debug("I got clicked!")
end
--> Remember! You cannot supply buttonClick(), that will only supply the result of the function
--> Make sure the button knows which function to call when it's clicked
button:onClick(buttonClick)
button:show() --> Make the button visible, so the user can click it
basalt.autoUpdate() --> Basalt#autoUpdate starts the event listener to detect user input
```
If you're like us and strive for succinct and beautiful code, here is a cleaner implementation of the code above:
```lua
local basalt = require("basalt")
local mainFrame = basalt.createFrame("mainFrame"):show()
local button = mainFrame --> Basalt returns an instance of the object on most methods, to make use of "call-chaining"
:addButton("clickableButton") --> This is an example of call chaining
:setPosition(4,4)
:setText("Click me!")
:onClick(
function()
basalt.debug("I got clicked!")
end)
:show()
basalt.autoUpdate()
```

Basalt provides multiple unique versions. A source version, a minified version and a web version.
## Source
This version is, like the name already says, the source code of basalt. If you want to dig into the code, add additional content or just prefer to use the source, then you should aim for the source-version.
The following command allows you to download the source-version on your computer:
`wget run https://basalt.madefor.cc/install.lua source [foldername] [branch]`
The first optional argument is the folder name you wish that basalt should be installed into, by default the folder is called basalt.
The second optional argument is the branch you want to use. If you don't know what this means please ignore it (the 2 options are master and dev)
## Minified / Packed
This version is the minified version, i also call it the packed version. There are 2 changes, the first one is that the code will be shown minified which makes the size much smaller, the second change is that you will recieve a file instead of a folder.
The following command allows you to download the packed-version on your computer:
`wget run https://basalt.madefor.cc/install.lua packed [filename] [branch]`
The first optional argument is the file name you wish that the installer should use, by default the file is called basalt.lua.
The second optional argument is the branch you want to use. If you don't know what this means please ignore it (the 2 options are master and dev)
## Web
The web version is a special version, used if your goal is to keep your project's size as small as possible. I suggest you to use the web version only if you don't restart your program over and over again. For example if you designed your program to reboot after the user made a bad choice (leads into a error or something like that) it is better to use the minified/source version.
The following command allows you to download the web-version on your computer:
`wget run https://basalt.madefor.cc/install.lua web [version] [filename]`
By default the first argument is the latest version of basalt's releases. [Here](https://github.com/Pyroxenium/Basalt/tree/master/docs/versions) you can see which versions are available to use.
For example: wget run https://basalt.madefor.cc/install.lua web basalt-1.6.3.lua - the second argument is just the file name, default is basaltWeb.lua.
Remember to rename `local basalt = require("basalt")` into `local basalt = require("basaltWeb")` if you want to use the web-version

# Installer
This is just a script which helps you to setup your program to automatically install the Basalt UI Framework, if it doesn't exists. Means, you create your program (which requires basalt) and add this on the top of your program. Now, everytime you execute your program it checks if basalt.lua (or your custom filepath) exists or not, if not it installs it, or if you are using the advanced installer, it asks the user if the program is allowed to install basalt for you.
## Basic Installer
Here is a very basic one which just installs basalt.lua if don't exist:
```lua
--Basalt configurated installer
local filePath = "basalt.lua" --here you can change the file path default: basalt
if not(fs.exists(filePath))then
shell.run("pastebin run ESs1mg7P packed true "..filePath:gsub(".lua", "")) -- this is an alternative to the wget command
end
local basalt = require(filePath:gsub(".lua", "")) -- here you can change the variablename in any variablename you want default: basalt
```
## Advanced Installer
This is a visual version, it asks the user if he wants to install basalt.lua (if not found)<br>
![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Pyroxenium/Basalt/master/docs/_media/installer.png)
```lua
--Basalt configurated installer
local filePath = "basalt.lua" --here you can change the file path default: basalt
if not(fs.exists(filePath))then
local w,h = term.getSize()
term.clear()
local _installerWindow = window.create(term.current(),w/2-8,h/2-3,18,6)
_installerWindow.setBackgroundColor(colors.gray)
_installerWindow.setTextColor(colors.black)
_installerWindow.write(" Basalt Installer ")
_installerWindow.setBackgroundColor(colors.lightGray)
for line=2,6,1 do
_installerWindow.setCursorPos(1,line)
if(line==3)then
_installerWindow.write(" No Basalt found! ")
elseif(line==4)then
_installerWindow.write(" Install it? ")
elseif(line==6)then
_installerWindow.setTextColor(colors.black)
_installerWindow.setBackgroundColor(colors.gray)
_installerWindow.write("Install")
_installerWindow.setBackgroundColor(colors.lightGray)
_installerWindow.write(string.rep(" ",5))
_installerWindow.setBackgroundColor(colors.red)
_installerWindow.write("Cancel")
else
_installerWindow.write(string.rep(" ",18))
end
end
_installerWindow.setVisible(true)
_installerWindow.redraw()
while(not(fs.exists(filePath))) do
local event, p1,p2,p3,p4 = os.pullEvent()
if(event=="mouse_click")then
if(p3==math.floor(h/2+2))and(p2>=w/2-8)and(p2<=w/2-2)then
shell.run("pastebin run ESs1mg7P packed true "..filePath:gsub(".lua", ""))
_installerWindow.setVisible(false)
term.clear()
break
end
if(p3==math.floor(h/2+2))and(p2<=w/2+9)and(p2>=w/2+4)then
_installerWindow.clear()
_installerWindow.setVisible(false)
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
term.clear()
return
end
end
end
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
term.clear()
end
local basalt = require(filePath:gsub(".lua", "")) -- here you can change the variablename in any variablename you want default: basalt
