### Dynamic Property Creation and Signal Handling in Radical (Lua)

Source: https://github.com/elv13/radical/blob/master/README.md

Demonstrates how to dynamically create properties (setters and getters) and signals for Radical objects in Lua. This allows for custom data management and event notifications, enhancing extensibility. It covers setting and getting property values and connecting to signal changes.

```lua
    local menu = radical.context{}
    
    -- Create the setter
    menu.set_foo = function(m,value)
        print("Setting value to:",value)
        m._foo_real = value
    end
    
    -- Create the getter
    menu.get_foo = function(m)
        print("Getter called, returning",m._foo_real)
    end
    
    -- The property is now created, this will call the setter:
    menu.foo = "my foo value"
    
    -- This will call the getter:
    print(menu.foo)
    
    -- The signals will be automatically generated
    data:connect_signal("foo::changed",function(m,value)
        print("foo changed:",value)
    end)
    
    -- New signals don't need to be registered and can be called right away
    data:connect_signal("my_new_signal::action_name",function(m,value1,value2,value3)
        print("Callback",m,value1,value2,value3)
    end)
    
    -- Manually emiting a signal
    menu:emit_signal("my_new_signal::action_name",value1,value2,value3)
    
```

### Create and Configure Context Menu

Source: https://github.com/elv13/radical/blob/master/README.md

This Lua snippet illustrates how to create a basic context menu using the Radical module. It includes adding items with text, actions, icons, and dynamically generated submenus. It also shows how to attach the menu to a widget and set a key binding.

```lua
local menu = radical.context{}
menu:add_item {text="Screen 1",button1=function(_menu,item,mods) print("Hello World! ") end}
menu:add_item {text="Screen 9",icon= beautiful.awesome_icon}
menu:add_item {text="Sub Menu",sub_menu = function()
    local smenu = radical.context{}
    smenu:add_item{text="item 1"}
    smenu:add_item{text="item 2"}
    return smenu
end}

-- To add the menu to a widget:
local mytextbox = wibox.widget.textbox()
mytextbox:set_menu(menu, "button::pressed", 3) -- 3 = right mouse button, 1 = left mouse button

-- To add a key binding on a "box" menu (and every other types)
menu:add_key_binding({"Mod4"},",")
```

--------------------------------

### Apply Styles and Layouts to Context Menu

Source: https://github.com/elv13/radical/blob/master/README.md

This Lua snippet shows how to create a context menu with specific styles and layouts applied. It demonstrates setting the menu style, item style, and the overall item layout for the menu.

```lua
local radical = require("radical")

local m = radical.context {
    style      = radical.style.classic      ,
    item_style = radical.item.style.classic ,
    layout     = radical.layout.vertical    }

```

--------------------------------

### Menu Signals

Source: https://github.com/elv13/radical/blob/master/README.md

This section details the signals emitted by menus for various events, allowing for reactive programming and custom event handling.

```APIDOC
## Menu Signals

### Description
Menus emit signals to notify about changes or events, such as property changes, item movements, or button interactions. These signals can be connected to callback functions for custom handling.

### Signals

- **PROPERTY_NAME::changed**: Emitted when a menu property changes.
- **item::moved**: Emitted when an item's position is changed.
- **item::swapped**: Emitted when two items are swapped.
- **item::removed**: Emitted when an item is removed.
- **item::appended**: Emitted when an item is appended.

### Widget Signals
Item layouts often repackage default widget signals, providing a more unified way to handle events.

- **button::press** (menu, item, button_id, mods, geo) - Emitted on a button press.
- **button::release** (menu, item, button_id, mods, geo) - Emitted on a button release.
- **mouse::enter** (menu, item) - Emitted when the mouse pointer enters an item.
- **mouse::leave** (menu, item) - Emitted when the mouse pointer leaves an item.
- **long::hover** (menu, item) - Emitted when the mouse hovers over an item for 1.5 seconds.
- **long::press** (menu, item) - Emitted when the mouse is pressed on an item for 1.5 seconds.

### Modifiers (`mods` argument)

The `mods` argument is an array where keys represent applied modifiers. A `nil` value indicates the modifier is not present. Common modifiers include `Control`, `Shift`, `mod1` (Alt), and `mod4`.

### Request Example
```lua
-- Connecting to an opacity change signal
menubar:connect_signal("opacity::changed", function(value)
    print("Menu opacity changed to:", value)
end)

-- Connecting to a button press signal on the menu bar
menubar:connect_signal("button::press", function(data, item, button, mods)
    if mods.Control then
        print("Control-clicked item:", item.text, "with button:", button)
    end
end)

-- Connecting to a button release signal on a specific item
menubar:add_item{text="Bar Item"}:connect_signal("button::release", function(data, item, button, mods)
    print("Bar Item click released!")
end)
```

### Response
Signals do not have direct responses in terms of return values. Instead, they trigger the execution of connected callback functions.
```

### Set Tooltip for Widget in Lua

Source: https://github.com/elv13/radical/blob/master/README.md

Demonstrates how to attach a tooltip to a widget using the `set_tooltip` method in Radical. This method is available for various widgets, including textboxes, allowing for contextual help or information display.

```lua
local mytextbox = wibox.widget.textbox()
mytextbox:set_tooltip("foo bar")
```

--------------------------------

### Toggle Item State in Lua

Source: https://github.com/elv13/radical/blob/master/README.md

Demonstrates how to activate and deactivate states for an item using the `item.state` meta table in Lua. Radical manages state selection and item redrawing based on these changes.

```lua
    local my_state_name = 9999 -- <== The ID
    local menu = radical.context{}
    local item = menu:add_item{text="text"}
    
    -- Activate a state
    item.state[my_state_name] = true
    
    -- Desactivate a state
    item.state[my_state_name] = nil
```

--------------------------------

### Require Radical Module in rc.lua

Source: https://github.com/elv13/radical/blob/master/README.md

This Lua snippet demonstrates how to include the Radical module at the beginning of your AwesomeWM rc.lua configuration file, making its functions available for use.

```lua
local radical = require("radical")
```

--------------------------------

### Set Menu Margins Programmatically

Source: https://github.com/elv13/radical/blob/master/README.md

This Lua snippet demonstrates how to adjust the margins of a menu and its individual items using programmatic access to the `margins` property. This allows for fine-tuning the spacing and visual appearance.

```lua
my_menu.margins.left = 12
local item = my_menu:add_item {test="Need room"}
item.margins.top = 3
```

--------------------------------

### Connect to Menu Signal in Lua

Source: https://github.com/elv13/radical/blob/master/README.md

Connects a callback function to a menu signal, such as 'opacity::changed'. This allows for dynamic updates or actions when a specific menu property changes. The callback function receives the new value of the property.

```lua
mymenu:connect_signal("opacity::changed",function(value)
    -- Do something
end)
```

--------------------------------

### Connect to Item Button Release Signal in Lua

Source: https://github.com/elv13/radical/blob/master/README.md

Connects a callback function to a 'button::release' signal on a specific menu item. This callback is executed when the button associated with the item is released, printing a confirmation message. It shows how to attach signals directly to individual items.

```lua
menubar:add_item{text="bar"}:connect_signal("button::release",function(d,i,b,m)
    print("bar click released!")
end)
```

--------------------------------

### Handle Button Press Signal with Modifiers in Lua

Source: https://github.com/elv13/radical/blob/master/README.md

Connects a callback function to a 'button::press' signal on a menu bar. The callback checks for modifier keys (e.g., Control) and prints information about the button press event, including item text, button ID, and data row count. This demonstrates how to access event-specific data and modifiers.

```lua
local menubar = radical.bar{}
menubar:connect_signal("button::press",function(data,item,button,mods)
    if mods.Control then
        print("Foo menu pressed!",item.text,button,data.rowcount)
    end
end)
```
