NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Bootstrap::ShareDir::Dist - Use a share directory on your dist during bootstrap

VERSION

version 1.001002

DESCRIPTION

This module allows one to load a Dist styled ShareDir using a Bootstrap mechanism so a distribution can use files in its own source tree when building with itself.

This is very much like the Bootstrap::lib plugin in that it injects libraries into @INC based on your existing source tree, or a previous build you ran.

And it is syntactically like the ShareDir plugin.

Note that this is really only useful for self consuming plugins and will have no effect on the test or run phases of your dist. ( For that, you'll need Test::File::ShareDir ).

USAGE

    [Bootstrap::lib]

    [Bootstrap::ShareDir::Dist]
    dir = share

    [ShareDir]
    dir = share

The only significant difference between this module and ShareDir is this module exists to make share visible to plugins for the distribution being built, while ShareDir exists to export the share directory visible after install time.

Additionally, there are two primary attributes that are provided by Dist::Zilla::Role::Bootstrap, See "ATTRIBUTES" in Dist::Zilla::Role::Bootstrap

For instance, this bootstraps ROOT/Your-Dist-Name-$VERSION/share if it exists and there's only one $VERSION, otherwise it falls back to simply bootstrapping ROOT/share

    [Bootstrap::ShareDir::Dist]
    dir = share
    try_built = 1
