Module::Starter::Smart(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Module::Starter::Smart(3pm) NAME
Module::Starter::Smart - A Module::Starter plugin for adding new modules into an existing distribution VERSION
version 0.0.4 SYNOPSIS
use Module::Starter qw/Module::Starter::Smart/; Module::Starter->create_distro(%args); # or in ~/.module-starter/config plugin: Module::Starter::Smart # create a new distribution named 'Foo-Bar' $ module-starter --module=Foo::Bar # ... then add a new module $ module-starter --module=Foo::Bar::Me --distro=Foo-Bar DESCRIPTION
Module::Starter::Smart is a simple helper plugin for Module::Starter. It subclasses Module::Starter::Simple and provides its own implementatoin for several file creation subroutines, such as "create_distro", "create_modules", "create_t", and so on. These new implementations were designed to work with existing distributions. When invoked, the plugin checks if the distribution is already created. If so, the plugin would bypass "create_basedir") and go ahead pull in all the existing modules and test files; these information would be used later in the corresponding file creation subroutines for skipping already-created files. UPDATE: This plugin only covers the simplest use cases. For advanced usage, check out Module::Starter::AddModule. Example Say you have an existing distro, Goof-Ball, and you want to add a new module, Goof::Troop. % ls -R Goof-Ball Build.PL Changes MANIFEST README lib/ t/ Goof-Ball/lib: Goof/ Goof-Ball/lib/Goof: Ball.pm Goof-Ball/t: 00.load.t perlcritic.t pod-coverage.t pod.t Go to the directory containing your existing distribution and run module-starter, giving it the names of the existing distribution and the new module: % module-starter --distro=Goof-Ball --module=Goof::Troop Created starter directories and files % ls -R Goof-Ball Build.PL Changes MANIFEST README lib/ t/ Goof-Ball/lib: Goof/ Goof-Ball/lib/Goof: Ball.pm Troop.pm Goof-Ball/t: 00.load.t perlcritic.t pod-coverage.t pod.t Troop.pm has been added to Goof-Ball/lib/Goof. INTERFACE
No public methods. The module works by subclassing Module::Starter::Simple and rewiring its internal behaviors. DEPENDENCIES
Module::Starter::Smart subclasses Module::Starter::Simple. INCOMPATIBILITIES
The plugin works perfectly with other template plugins, i.e. Module::Starter::PBP (I started using it to develop this module) BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
