DBIx::Class::Optional::Dependencies - Optional module dependency specifications (for module authors)
Somewhere in your build-file (e.g. Module::Install's Makefile.PL):
... configure_requires 'DBIx::Class' => '0.08124'; require DBIx::Class::Optional::Dependencies; my $deploy_deps = DBIx::Class::Optional::Dependencies->req_list_for ('deploy'); for (keys %$deploy_deps) { requires $_ => $deploy_deps->{$_}; } ...
Note that there are some caveats regarding configure_requires(), more info can be found at "configure_requires" in Module::Install
configure_requires()
Some of the less-frequently used features of DBIx::Class have external module dependencies on their own. In order not to burden the average user with modules he will never use, these optional dependencies are not included in the base Makefile.PL. Instead an exception with a descriptive message is thrown when a specific feature is missing one or several modules required for its operation. This module is the central holding place for the current list of such dependencies, for DBIx::Class core authors, and DBIx::Class extension authors alike.
Dependencies are organized in groups and each group can list one or more required modules, with an optional minimum version (or 0 for any version). The group name can be used in the
groups
Modules required for the DBIx::Class administrative library
JSON::Any >= 1.22
Moose >= 0.98
MooseX::Types >= 0.21
MooseX::Types::JSON >= 0.02
MooseX::Types::Path::Class >= 0.05
namespace::autoclean >= 0.09
Requirement group: admin
Modules required for the CLI DBIx::Class interface dbicadmin
Getopt::Long::Descriptive >= 0.081
Text::CSV >= 1.16
Requirement group: admin_script
Modules required for "deploy" in DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI and "deploymen_statements" in DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI
SQL::Translator >= 0.11006
Requirement group: deploy
Modules required for DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated
Hash::Merge >= 0.12
Requirement group: replicated
This method should be used by DBIx::Class packagers, to get a hashref of all dependencies keyed by dependency group. Each key (group name) can be supplied to one of the group-specific methods below.
This method should be used by DBIx::Class extension authors, to determine the version of modules a specific feature requires in the current version of DBIx::Class. See the "SYNOPSIS" for a real-world example.
Returns true or false depending on whether all modules required by $group_name are present on the system and loadable.
$group_name
Returns a single line string suitable for inclusion in larger error messages. This method would normally be used by DBIx::Class core-module author, to indicate to the user that he needs to install specific modules before he will be able to use a specific feature.
For example if some of the requirements for deploy are not available, the returned string could look like:
deploy
SQL::Translator >= 0.11006 (see DBIx::Class::Optional::Dependencies for details)
The author is expected to prepend the necessary text to this message before returning the actual error seen by the user.
Returns a hashref containing the actual errors that occured while attempting to load each module in the requirement group.
