=head1 NAME

FS::UI::Base - Base class for all user-interface objects

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use FS::UI::SomeInterface;
  use FS::UI::some_table;

  $interface = new FS::UI::some_table;

  $error = $interface->browse;
  $error = $interface->search;
  $error = $interface->view;
  $error = $interface->edit;
  $error = $interface->process;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

An FS::UI::Base object represents a user interface object.  FS::UI::Base
is intended as a base class for table-specfic classes to inherit from, i.e.
FS::UI::cust_main.  The simplest case, which will provide a default UI for your
new table, is as follows:

  package FS::UI::table_name;
  use vars qw ( @ISA );
  use FS::UI::Base;
  @ISA = qw( FS::UI::Base );
  sub db_table { 'table_name'; }

Currently available interfaces are:
  FS::UI::Gtk, an X-Windows UI implemented using the Gtk+ toolkit
  FS::UI::CGI, a web interface implemented using CGI.pm, etc.

=head1 BUGS

This documentation is incomplete.

There should be some sort of per-(freeside)-user preferences and the ability
for specific FS::UI:: modules to put their own values there as well.
