NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::IfBuilt - Use code only in built (or unbuilt/raw) version

VERSION

This document describes version 0.02 of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::IfBuilt (from Perl distribution Dist-Zilla-Plugin-IfBuilt), released on 2015-06-17.

SYNOPSIS

In dist.ini:

 [IfBuilt]
 [InsertBlock::FromModule]

In lib/Foo.pm:

 ...
 # IFUNBUILT
 use warnings;
 # END IFUNBUILT

 # IFBUILT
 ##INSERT_BLOCK Function::Embeddable uniq
 # END IFBUILT
 # IFUNBUILT
 use List::MoreUtils 'uniq';
 # END IFUNBUILT
 ...

After build, the above section will become:

 ...
 # IFUNBUILT
 # use warnings;
 # END IFUNBUILT

 # IFBUILT
 sub uniq (@) {
     my %seen = ();
     my $k;
     my $seen_undef;
     grep { defined $_ ? not $seen{ $k = $_ }++ : not $seen_undef++ } @_;
 }
 # END IFBUILT
 # IFUNBUILT
 # use List::MoreUtils 'uniq';
 # END IFBUILT
 ...

DESCRIPTION

This plugin finds blocks like this:

 # IFBUILT
 # ...
 # END IFBUILT

or this:

 # IFUNBUILT
 ...
 # END IFBUILT

in your modules and scripts. All the lines inside # IFBUILT ... # END IFBUILT must all be commented-out, and they will be uncommented (one character # removed from each line) in the built version. On the other hand, all the lines inside # IFUNBUILT ... # END IFUNBUILT will be commented (one character # added to each line) in the built version.

This plugin is useful when you want to have code that is only present in the built/unbuilt version. One use-case is when you want to replace a routine with an inlined version in the built edition, like the example in Synopsis. In the unbuilt/raw version, the routine is retrieved from a module. This allows testing to work either with the unbuilt version (e.g. using prove -l) or the built version (e.g. using dzil test).
