NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Rinci::AddPrereqs - Add prerequisites from Rinci metadata

VERSION

This document describes version 0.145 of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Rinci::AddPrereqs (from Perl distribution Dist-Zilla-Plugin-Rinci-AddPrereqs), released on 2020-06-10.

SYNOPSIS

In dist.ini:

 [Rinci::AddPrereqs]

DESCRIPTION

This plugin will first collect Rinci metadata from the following:

• %SPEC variable in all modules of the distribution

• Perinci::CmdLine scripts

  This plugin will also search all Perinci::CmdLine-based scripts, request Rinci function metadata from all local Riap URI's used by the scripts. Plus, will add a dependency to the module mentioned in the local Riap URI. For example, in Perinci::CmdLine-based script:

   url => '/MyApp/myfunc',

  The plugin will retrieve the Rinci metadata in MyApp module as well as add a runtime-requires dependency to the MyApp module (unless MyApp is in the same/current distribution).

Prereqs from Rinci function metadata

The following prereqs will be added according to information in Rinci function metadata.

• Additional property module

  If the Rinci metadata contains non-standard properties, which require corresponding Perinci::Sub::Property::NAME modules, then these modules will be added as prereqs.

• schema

  Currently will only do this for Rinci metadata for CLI scripts.

  The plugin will compile every schema of function argument using Data::Sah, then add a prereq to each module required by the generated argument validator produced by Data::Sah. For example, in Rinci metadata:

   args => {
       arg1 => {
           schema => 'color::rgb24*',
           ...
       },
       ...
   }

  When the color::rgb24 schema is compiled, the following modules are required: Sah::Schema::color::rgb24, Data::Sah::Coerce::perl::To_str::From_str::rgb24_from_colorname_X_or_code. The generated validator code requires these modules: strict, warnings, Graphics::ColorNames, Graphics::ColorNames::X. All of which will be added as prereq.

• x.schema.entity, x.schema.element_entity

  Currently will only do this for Rinci metadata for CLI scripts.

  For every entity mentioned in x.schema.entity or x.schema.element_entity in argument specification in function metadata, the plugin will add a prereq to Perinci::Sub::ArgEntity::NAME. For example, in Rinci metadata:

   args => {
       arg1 => {
           'x.schema.entity' => 'dirname',
            ...
       },
       ...
   }

  (Note that x.schema.entity is deprecated.)

• x.completion, x.element_completion

  For every completion mentioned in x.completion or x.element_completion in argument specification in function metadata, which can have the value of NAME or [NAME, ARGS], the plugin will add a prereq to corresponding Perinci::Sub::XCompletion::NAME. For example, in Rinci metadata:

   args => {
       arg1 => {
           'schema' => 'str*',
           'x.completion' => 'colorname',
           ...
       },
       ...
   }
