Dist::Zilla::Role::FileFinderUser(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		    Dist::Zilla::Role::FileFinderUser(3pm)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::Role::FileFinderUser - something that uses FileFinder plugins VERSION
version 4.300020 DESCRIPTION
This role enables you to search for files in the dist. This makes it easy to find specific files and have the code factored out to common methods. Here's an example of a finder: ( taken from AutoPrereqs ) with 'Dist::Zilla::Role::FileFinderUser' => { default_finders => [ ':InstallModules', ':ExecFiles' ], }; Then you use it in your code like this: foreach my $file ( $self->found_files ) { # $file is an object! Look at L<Dist::Zilla::Role::File> } ATTRIBUTES
finder_arg_names Define the name of the attribute which will hold this finder. Be sure to specify different names if you have multiple finders! This is an ArrayRef. Default: [ qw( finder ) ] default_finders This attribute is an arrayref of plugin names for the default plugins the consuming plugin will use as finder.s Example: "[ qw( :InstallModules :ExecFiles ) ]" The default finders are: :InstallModules Searches your lib/ directory for pm/pod files :IncModules Searches your inc/ directory for pm files :MainModule Finds the "main_module" of your dist :TestFiles Searches your t/ directory and lists the files in it. :ExecFiles Searches your distribution for executable files. Hint: Use the Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ExecDir plugin to mark those files as executables. :ShareFiles Searches your ShareDir directory and lists the files in it. Hint: Use the Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ShareDir plugin to setup the sharedir. method This will be the name of the subroutine installed in your package for this finder. Be sure to specify different names if you have multiple finders! Default: found_files AUTHOR
