NAME

Module::FeaturesUtil::Get - Get a feature

VERSION

This document describes version 0.003 of Module::FeaturesUtil::Get (from Perl distribution Module-FeaturesUtil-Get), released on 2021-02-25.

SYNOPSIS

 use Module::FeaturesUtil::Get qw(
     get_features_decl
     get_feature_val
     module_declares_feature
 );

 # Get features declaration:
 my $features_decl = get_features_decl('Text::Table::Tiny');

 # Get value of a feature:
 if (!get_feature_val('Text::Table::Tiny', 'TextTable', 'align_cell_containing_color_codes')) {
     # strip color codes first
     for ($str1, $str2) { s/\e\[[0-9;]+m/sg }
 }
 push @rows, [$str1, $str2];

 # Check whether a module declares a feature:
 if (module_declares_feature('Text::Table::Tiny', 'TextTable', 'speed')) {
    ...
 }

DESCRIPTION

FUNCTIONS

get_feature_set_spec

Usage:

 my $feature_set_spec = get_feature_set_spec($feature_set_name);

Feature set specification will be retrieved from the Module::Features::$feature_set_name module. The module will NOT be loaded by this routine; you will need to load the module yourself.

This module will also NOT check the validity of feature set specification.

get_features_decl

Usage:

 my $features_decl = get_features_decl($module_name);

Features declaration is first looked up from proxy module's %FEATURES package variable, then from the module's %FEATURES. Proxy module is $module_name::_ModuleFeatures. You have to load the modules yourself; this routine will not load the modules for you.

This routine will also NOT check the validity of features declaration.

get_feature_val

Usage:

 my $val = get_feature_val($module_name, $feature_set_name, $feature_name);

Example:

 if (!get_feature_val('Text::Table::Tiny', 'TextTable', 'align_cell_containing_color_codes')) {
     # strip color codes first
     for ($str1, $str2) { s/\e\[[0-9;]+m/sg }
 }
 push @rows, [$str1, $str2];

Get the value of a feature from a module's features declaration.

Features declaration is retrieved using "get_features_decl".

This routine will also NOT check the validity of feature value against the specification's schema.

module_declares_feature

Usage:

 my $bool = module_declares_feature($module_name, $feature_set_name, $feature_name);

Check whether module declares a feature.

Features declaration is retrieved using "get_features_decl".

This routine will also NOT check the feature set specification.

Module::Features

This module does not check whether a feature declaration is valid or whether a feature set specification is valid. To do that, use Module::FeaturesUtil::Check's check_features_decl and check_feature_set_spec.
