Module::Abstract::Cwalitee - Calculate the cwalitee of your module Abstract
This document describes version 0.008 of Module::Abstract::Cwalitee (from Perl distribution Module-Abstract-Cwalitee), released on 2021-06-06.
use Module::Abstract::Cwalitee qw( calc_module_abstract_cwalitee list_module_abstract_cwalitee_indicators ); my $res = calc_module_abstract_cwalitee( abstract => 'Calculate the cwalitee of your module Abstract', );
What is module abstract cwalitee? A metric to attempt to gauge the quality of your module's Abstract. Since actual quality is hard to measure, this metric is called a "cwalitee" instead. The cwalitee concept follows "kwalitee" [1] which is specifically to measure the quality of CPAN distribution. I pick a different spelling to avoid confusion with kwalitee. And unlike kwalitee, the unqualified term "cwalitee" does not refer to a specific, particular subject. There can be "module abstract cwalitee" (which is handled by this module), "CPAN Changes cwalitee", and so on.
Usage:
calc_module_abstract_cwalitee(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
Examples:
Example of a good Abstract:
calc_module_abstract_cwalitee(abstract => "Calculate the frobnitz of thromblemeisters");
Result:
[ 200, "OK", [ { indicator => "not_empty", num => 1, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "language_english", num => 2, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "no_shouting", num => 3, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "not_end_with_dot", num => 4, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "not_module_name", num => 5, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "not_multiline", num => 6, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "not_redundant", num => 7, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "not_start_with_lowercase_letter", num => 8, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "not_template", num => 9, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "not_too_long", num => 10, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "not_too_short", num => 11, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "Score", result => "100.00", result_summary => "11 out of 11", }, ], { "func.score" => "100.00", "func.score_summary" => "11 out of 11" }, ]
Example of a not-so-good Abstract:
calc_module_abstract_cwalitee(abstract => "PERL MODULE TO DO SOMETHING");
[ 200, "OK", [ { indicator => "not_empty", num => 1, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "language_english", num => 2, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "no_shouting", num => 3, result => 0, result_summary => "All-caps", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "not_end_with_dot", num => 4, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "not_module_name", num => 5, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "not_multiline", num => 6, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "not_redundant", num => 7, result => 0, result_summary => "Saying 'PERL MODULE TO' is redundant, omit it", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "not_start_with_lowercase_letter", num => 8, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "not_template", num => 9, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "not_too_long", num => 10, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "not_too_short", num => 11, result => 1, result_summary => "", severity => 3, }, { indicator => "Score", result => 81.82, result_summary => "9 out of 11" }, ], { "func.score" => 81.82, "func.score_summary" => "9 out of 11" }, ]
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
abstract* => str
exclude_indicator => array[str]
Do not use these indicators.
exclude_indicator_module => array[perl::modname]
Do not use indicators from these modules.
exclude_indicator_status => array[str]
Do not use indicators having these statuses.
include_indicator => array[str]
Only use these indicators.
include_indicator_module => array[perl::modname]
Only use indicators from these modules.
include_indicator_status => array[str] (default: ["stable"])
Only use indicators having these statuses.
min_indicator_severity => uint (default: 1)
Minimum indicator severity.
module => perl::modname
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.
Return value: (any)
list_module_abstract_cwalitee_indicators(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
List all installed indicators from all modules:
list_module_abstract_cwalitee_indicators();

List only certain names, show details:
list_module_abstract_cwalitee_indicators( detail => 1, include => ["not_too_short", "not_too_long", "not_template"] );
[ 200, "OK", [ { module => "Module::Abstract::Cwalitee::Core", name => "not_template", priority => 50, severity => 3, status => "stable", summary => undef, }, { module => "Module::Abstract::Cwalitee::Core", name => "not_too_long", priority => 50, severity => 3, status => "stable", summary => undef, }, { module => "Module::Abstract::Cwalitee::Core", name => "not_too_short", priority => 50, severity => 3, status => "stable", summary => undef, }, ], {}, ]
