Git::Repository::Plugin - Base class for Git::Repository plugins
package Git::Repository::Plugin::Hello; use Git::Repository::Plugin; our @ISA = qw( Git::Repository::Plugin ); sub _keywords { return qw( hello hello_gitdir ) } sub hello { return "Hello, git world!\n"; } sub hello_gitdir { return "Hello, " . $_[0]->git_dir . "!\n"; } 1;
Git::Repository::Plugin allows one to define new methods for Git::Repository, that will be imported in the Git::Repository namespace.
Git::Repository::Plugin
Git::Repository
The SYNOPSIS provides a full example.
The documentation of Git::Repository describes how to load plugins with all the methods they provide, or only a selection of them.
Git::Repository::Plugin provides a single method:
Install all keywords provided in the Git::Repository namespace.
If called with an empty list, will install all available keywords.
When creating a plugin, the new keywords that are added by the plugin to Git::Repository must be returned by a _keywords() method.
_keywords()

Thanks to Todd Rinalo, who wanted to add more methods to Git::Repository, which made me look for a solution that would preserve the minimalism of Git::Repository.
After a not-so-good design using @ISA (so Git::Repository would inherit the extra methods), further discussions with Aristotle Pagaltzis and a quick peek at Dancer's plugin management helped me come up with the current design. Thank you Aristotle and the Dancer team.
Further improvements to the plugin system proposed by Aristotle Pagaltzis.
