Dist::Zilla::Role::FileFinder - something that finds files within the distribution
version 4.300011
A FileFinder plugin locates files within the distribution. This role exists so that sets of files can be easily described in one configuration section and then used by one or more other plugin.
Plugins implementing this role must provide a find_files method which will be called with no arguments and must return an arrayref of files. (This arrayref should not be re-used, as it may be altered once returned.)
find_files
For example, imagine a simple glob-like FileFinder that expects configuration like this:
[Glob / RootModules] glob = *.pm
This sets up a FileFinder named "RootModules" which will contain all pm files in the root directory.
Another plugin that knows how to use FileFinder plugins might be configured like this:
[ModuleRelocator] finder = RootModules relocate_to = attic
Finders may operate on any rules they like, checking file size, content, name, or other properties. They should re-perform their "finding" on each call to find_files as the files in the distribution may have changed.
