NAME

Module::FeaturesUtil::Get - Get a feature from a module (following Module::Features specification)

VERSION

This document describes version 0.006 of Module::FeaturesUtil::Get (from Perl distribution Module-FeaturesUtil-Get), released on 2023-11-11.

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use Module::FeaturesUtil::Get qw(
    get_features_decl
    get_feature_val
    get_feature_defhash
    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

See "GLOSSARY" in Module::Features for terminology.

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.

get_feature_defhash

Usage:

            

              
              
my $defhash = get_feature_defhash($module_name, $feature_set_name, $feature_name);
            
          

Example:

            

              
              
$defhash = get_feature_defhash('Text::Table::Sprintf', 'TextTable', 'can_halign'; # => {value=>1, summary=>'Only support l (left) and r (right), not c (center)'}
            
          

Get a single feature declaration defhash.

Features declaration is retrieved using "get_features_decl".

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.

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, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
