NAME

       "Tickit::Async" - use "Tickit" with "IO::Async"

SYNOPSIS

        use IO::Async;
        use Tickit::Async;

        my $tickit = Tickit::Async->new;

        # Create some widgets
        # ...

        $tickit->set_root_widget( $rootwidget );

        my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;
        $loop->add( $tickit );

        $tickit->run;

DESCRIPTION

       This class allows a Tickit user interface to run alongside other IO::Async-driven code, using "IO::Async"
       as a source of IO events.

       As a shortcut convenience, a containing IO::Async::Loop will be constructed using the default magic
       constructor the first time it is needed, if the object is not already a member of a loop. This will allow
       a "Tickit::Async" object to be used without being aware it is not a simple "Tickit" object.

       To avoid accidentally creating multiple loops, callers should be careful to "add" the "Tickit::Async"
       object to the main application's loop if one already exists as soon as possible after construction.
