NAME

Dist::Zilla::Role::Stash::Plugins - A Stash that stores arguments for plugins

VERSION

version 1.003

DESCRIPTION

This is a role for a Stash that stores arguments for other plugins.

Stashes performing this role must define expand_package.

ATTRIBUTES

argument_separator

A regular expression that will capture the package name in $1 and the attribute name in $2.

Defaults to ^(.+?)\W+(\w+)$ which means the package variable and the attribute will be separated by non-word characters (which assumes the attributes will be only word characters/valid perl identifiers).

You will need to set this attribute in your stash if you need to assign to an attribute in a package that contains non-word characters. This is an example (taken from the tests in t/ini-sep).

  # dist.ini
  [%Example]
  argument_separator = ^([^|]+)\|([^|]+)$
  -PlugName|Attr::Name = oops
  +Mod::Name|!goo-ber = nuts

_config

Contains the dynamic options.

Inherited from Dist::Zilla::Role::DynamicConfig.

Rather than accessing this directly, consider "get_stashed_config" or "merge_stashed_config".

METHODS

get_stashed_config

Return a hashref of the config arguments for the plugin determined by ref($plugin).

This is a slice of the _config attribute appropriate for the plugin passed to the method.

  # with a stash of:
  # _config => {
  #   'APlug:attr1'   => 'value1',
  #   'APlug:second'  => '2nd',
  #   'OtherPlug:attr => '0'
  # }

  # from inside Dist::Zilla::Plugin::APlug

  if( my $stash = $self->zilla->stash_named('%Example') ){
    my $stashed = $stash->get_stashed_config($self);
  }

  # $stashed => {
  #   'attr1'   => 'value1',
  #   'second'  => '2nd'
  # }

merge_stashed_config

  $stash->merge_stashed_config($plugin, \%opts);

Get the stashed config (see "get_stashed_config"), then attempt to merge it into the plugin.

This require the plugin's attributes to be writable ('rw').

It will attempt to push onto array references and concatenate onto existing strings (joined by a space). It will overwrite any other types.

Possible options:

separate_local_config

Removes any hash keys that are only word characters (valid perl identifiers (including "argument_separator")) because the dynamic keys intended for other plugins will all contain non-word characters.

Overwrite this if necessary.
