NAME

Sah::Schema::perl::pm_filename - A .pm filename, e.g. /path/Foo.pm

VERSION

This document describes version 0.042 of Sah::Schema::perl::pm_filename (from Perl distribution Sah-Schemas-Perl), released on 2021-12-01.

SYNOPSIS

To check data against this schema (requires Data::Sah):

 use Data::Sah qw(gen_validator);
 my $validator = gen_validator("perl::pm_filename*");
 say $validator->($data) ? "valid" : "INVALID!";

 # Data::Sah can also create validator that returns nice error message string
 # and/or coerced value. Data::Sah can even create validator that targets other
 # language, like JavaScript. All from the same schema. See its documentation
 # for more details.

To validate function parameters against this schema (requires Params::Sah):

 use Params::Sah qw(gen_validator);

 sub myfunc {
     my @args = @_;
     state $validator = gen_validator("perl::pm_filename*");
     $validator->(\@args);
     ...
 }

To specify schema in Rinci function metadata and use the metadata with Perinci::CmdLine to create a CLI:

 # in lib/MyApp.pm
 package MyApp;
 our %SPEC;
 $SPEC{myfunc} = {
     v => 1.1,
     summary => 'Routine to do blah ...',
     args => {
         arg1 => {
             summary => 'The blah blah argument',
             schema => ['perl::pm_filename*'],
         },
         ...
     },
 };
 sub myfunc {
     my %args = @_;
     ...
 }
 1;

 # in myapp.pl
 package main;
 use Perinci::CmdLine::Any;
 Perinci::CmdLine::Any->new(url=>'MyApp::myfunc')->run;

 # in command-line
 % ./myapp.pl --help
 myapp - Routine to do blah ...
 ...

 % ./myapp.pl --version

 % ./myapp.pl --arg1 ...

DESCRIPTION

Use this schema if you want to accept a filesystem path containing Perl module. The value of this schema is in the convenience of CLI completion, as well as coercion from module name.

String containing filename of a Perl module. For convenience, when value is in the form of:

 Foo
 Foo.pm
 Foo::Bar
 Foo/Bar
 Foo/Bar.pm

and a matching .pm file is found in @INC, then it will be coerced (converted) into the path of that .pm file, e.g.:

 /home/ujang/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.24.0/lib/site_perl/5.24.0/Foo/Bar.pm

To prevent such coercion, you can use prefixing path, e.g.:

 ./Foo::Bar
 ../Foo/Bar
 /path/to/Foo/Bar

This schema comes with convenience completion too.

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
