=head1 NAME
File::Create::Layout - Quickly create files/directories according to a layout
=head1 VERSION
This document describes version 0.060 of File::Create::Layout (from Perl distribution File-Create-Layout), released on 2019-04-16.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use File::Create::Layout qw(
create_files_using_layout
check_layout
parse_layout
);
my $res = create_files_using_layout(layout => <<'EOL');
file1.txt
file2(0600)
file3.txt(0644) "content":"hello, world\n"
dir1/
file1
file2
file3
dir2/(root,bin,0600)
# some comment
file1
dir3/
anotherfile.txt "content":"secret"
file2
EOL
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<EARLY DEVELOPMENT. MORE OPTIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE (E.G. DRY-RUN, CHECKING A
LAYOUT AGAINST FILESYSTEM, VARIOUS ERROR HANDLING OPTIONS).>
=head1 LAYOUT SPECIFICATION
Layout is a text document containing zero or more lines. Each line is either a
file/directory specification line, a blank line, or a comment line.
Comment line starts with zero or more whitespaces, a C<#> (hash) character, and
zero or more non-newline characters as the comment's content.
The simplest specification line contains just the name of a file or directory.
To specify a directory, you need to add C</> (slash) immediately after the name:
# a file
foo.txt
# a directory
bar/
# another directory
baz.txt/
To specify filename containing special characters, like C<#>, you can quote the
file using double quotes:
"#tmpname#"
"filename containing \"quotes\""
The string will be parsed as a JSON string.
B<Permission and ownership.> Immediately after the filename or directory name,
you can specify permission mode, as well as ownership (owner user/group):
# specify permission mode, both are identical
file.txt(0600)
file2.txt(600)
# specify owner as well as user+group
dir1/(ujang,admin,0700)
B<Symlink.> To create a symlink, add C<< -> >> (arrow) followed by the symlink
target. Like filename, symlink target can be an unquoted sequence of
non-whitespace characters, or a quoted JSON string if you want to have
whitespace or other special characters:
symlink1 -> ../target
symlink2 -> "/home/ujang/My Documents"
B<File content.> An unquoted JSON hash (object) can be added in the end,
prefixed by at least one whitespace to specify extra stuffs, including file
content. By unquoted, it means that the enclosing curly braces C<< { .. } >> is
not written:
file.txt "content":"This is line 1\nThis is line 2\n"
file2.txt(0660) "content":"secret","foo":"bar","mtime":1441853999
B<Putting files/directories in a subdirectory.> Indentation (only spaces, tabs
are not allowed) is used for this:
dir1/
file1-inside-dir1
file2-inside-dir1
dir2/
file3-inside-dir2
file4-inside-dir2
another-file-inside-dir1
file5-in-top-level

=head1 FUNCTIONS
=head2 check_layout
Usage:
check_layout(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]
Check whether layout has syntax errors.
This function is not exported.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
=over 4
=item * B<layout>* => I<str>
Layout.
See the module documentation for the format/specification of layout.
=back
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code
(200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element
(msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is
200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth
element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash
that contains extra information.
Return value: (any)
=head2 create_files_using_layout
Usage:
create_files_using_layout(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]
Create files/directories according to a layout.
This routine can be used to quickly create several files/directories according
to a layout which you specify. The layout uses a few simple rules and common
conventions usually found in Linux/Unix environment.
You can use this routine e.g. in a test script.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
=over 4
=item * B<layout>* => I<str>
Layout.
See the module documentation for the format/specification of layout.
=item * B<prefix> => I<str>
Root directory to create the files/directories in.
Directory must already exist.
If unspecified, will simply create starting from current directory.
=back
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code
(200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element
(msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is
200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth
element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash
that contains extra information.
Return value: (any)
=head2 parse_layout
Usage:
parse_layout(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]
Parse layout string into a data structure suitable for processing.
This function is not exported.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
=over 4
=item * B<layout>* => I<str>
Layout.
See the module documentation for the format/specification of layout.
=back
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code
(200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element
(msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is
200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth
element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash
that contains extra information.
Return value: (any)
