NAME

       DBIx::Class::Optional::Dependencies - Optional module dependency specifications (for module authors)

SYNOPSIS

       Somewhere in your build-file (e.g. Module::Install's Makefile.PL):

	 ...

	 configure_requires 'DBIx::Class' => '0.08196';

	 require DBIx::Class::Optional::Dependencies;

	 my $deploy_deps = DBIx::Class::Optional::Dependencies->req_list_for('deploy');

	 for (keys %$deploy_deps) {
	   requires $_ => $deploy_deps->{$_};
	 }

	 ...

       Note that there are some caveats regarding "configure_requires()", more info can be found at "configure_requires" in Module::Install

DESCRIPTION

       Some of the less-frequently used features of DBIx::Class have external module dependencies on their own. In order not to burden the average
       user with modules he will never use, these optional dependencies are not included in the base Makefile.PL. Instead an exception with a
       descriptive message is thrown when a specific feature is missing one or several modules required for its operation. This module is the
       central holding place for  the current list of such dependencies, for DBIx::Class core authors, and DBIx::Class extension authors alike.

CURRENT REQUIREMENT GROUPS

       Dependencies are organized in "groups" and each group can list one or more required modules, with an optional minimum version (or 0 for any
       version).  The group name can be used in the

METHODS

   req_group_list
       Arguments: none
       Returns: \%list_of_requirement_groups

       This method should be used by DBIx::Class packagers, to get a hashref of all dependencies keyed by dependency group. Each key (group name)
       can be supplied to one of the group-specific methods below.

   req_list_for
       Arguments: $group_name
       Returns: \%list_of_module_version_pairs

       This method should be used by DBIx::Class extension authors, to determine the version of modules a specific feature requires in the current
       version of DBIx::Class. See the "SYNOPSIS" for a real-world example.

   req_ok_for
       Arguments: $group_name
       Returns: 1|0

       Returns true or false depending on whether all modules required by $group_name are present on the system and loadable.

   req_missing_for
       Arguments: $group_name
       Returns: $error_message_string

       Returns a single line string suitable for inclusion in larger error messages.  This method would normally be used by DBIx::Class core-
       module author, to indicate to the user that he needs to install specific modules before he will be able to use a specific feature.

       For example if some of the requirements for "deploy" are not available, the returned string could look like:

	SQL::Translator >= 0.11006 (see DBIx::Class::Optional::Dependencies for details)

       The author is expected to prepend the necessary text to this message before returning the actual error seen by the user.

   req_errorlist_for
       Arguments: $group_name
       Returns: \%list_of_loaderrors_per_module

       Returns a hashref containing the actual errors that occured while attempting to load each module in the requirement group.
