NAME

Dist::Zilla::Util::SimpleMunge - Make munging File::FromCode and File::InMemory easier.

VERSION

version 1.000002

SYNOPSIS

use Dist::Zilla::Util::SimpleMunge qw( auto_munge_file );
...;

sub somesub {
  ...;

  next if $file->is_bytes;

  if ( $file->can('code') ) {

  auto_munge_file $file_from_zilla, sub {
      my ( $file, $content , $encoding ) = @_;
      return $mangled if $encoding ne 'text'; # bytes or text
      ... mangle $content here ...;
      return $mangled;
  };
}

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: STOPGAP

This module is mostly a stopgap and a implementation experiment in lieu of something better in Dist::Zilla eventually transpiring.

BASIC USAGE

Munging files in Dist::Zilla can be a pain.

Its mostly the same:

$file->content( substr( $file->content, 0, 10 ) ); # etc.

Except when you come to CodeRefs, that all changes.

my $orig_code = $file->code();
$file->code( sub {
    $file->$orig_code() =~ s/foo/bar/
});

Which quickly gets messy.

So this module is as simple as I think I can get it without hacking Dist::Zilla directly.

auto_munge_file $file, sub {
   my ( $thefile, $content, $encoding ) = @_;
};

The callback will be called as appropriate.

  • $content will contain the content, decoded if possible

  • $encoding will be either text or bytes, the latter if decoding is not possible.

  • InMemory will apply the code immediately

  • FromCode will take your code and create a chained system so your code will be evaluated when the file itself is written out.

And this is the most useful and straight forward interface that doesn't invoke any weird re-blessing magic.

ADVANCED USAGE

There are a few less simple utilities that may also prove useful.

  • munge_InMemory - trusts you know what you're dealing with and munges an InMemory instance via the callback.

  • munge_FromCode - trusts you when you say you have a FromCode, and munges with CodeRef chaining.

  • inplace_replace - A bit of magic to replace an object in-place without modifying any containers that point to it and without changing the reference address.

  • to_InMemory - returns a FromCode represented as a new InMemory object.

  • to_FromCode - returns an InMemory represented as a new FromCode object.

  • inplace_to_InMemory - like to_InMemory, but replaces the object in-place.

  • inplace_to_FromCode - like to_FromCode, but replaces the object in-place.

  • munge_file - combines all of the above behaviors based on configuration values.

  • munge_files - applies a single configuration and callback to a collection of files.

FUNCTIONS

auto_munge_file

# auto_munge_file ( $FILE, $CODEREF )

auto_munge_file( $zilla_file, sub {
    my ( $file, $content, $encoding ) = @_;
    return $new_content # must still be in form $encoding
});

to_InMemory

Given a FromCode, return an equivalent InMemory file, flattening the callback in the process into simply a string.

my $in_memory = to_InMemory( $from_code );

to_FromCode

Given a InMemory or OnDisk, return an equivalent FromCode file, converting the content into a callback that yields that content.

my $from_code = to_FromCode( $in_memory_or_from_disk );

munge_InMemory

Munge an InMemory ( or similar ) item using a callback.

munge_InMemory( $xfile, sub {
  my ( $file, $content, $encoding ) = @_;
   ...
  return $content;
});

This munging is applied immediately.

munge_FromCode

Munge a FromCode object by replacing the CodeRef with a new one that yields the former.

munge_FromCode( $xfile, sub {
  my ( $file, $content, $encoding ) = @_;

  $content =~ s/foo/bar/;

  return $content;
});

Note: this code is equivalent to:

my $orig_code = $xfile->code;
my $encoding  = $xfile->core_return_type;
$xfile->code( sub {

  my $content = $xfile->$orig_code();

  $content =~ s/a/b/;

  return $content;
});

inplace_replace

This is a rather nasty way to replace an Object in place without breaking references held on it.

Consider:

source = ADDR=0x015 = data = { x => y }
                    = class = Foo

target = ADDR=0x017 = data = { z => a }
                    = class = Bar

array  = ADDR=0x016 = data = [ 0x015 ]

Then:

delete source->{x}
source->{z} = target->{z}
bless source, 'Bar'

This should result in:

source = ADDR=0x015 = data = { z => a }
                    = class = Bar

target = ADDR=0x017 = data = { z => a }
                    = class = Bar

array  = ADDR=0x016 = data = [ 0x015 ]

Yes, this is rather nasty to do this, but no good alternatives at the moment :).

inplace_replace( $original_object, $replacement_object );

This will mirror all the keys from $replacement_object to $original_object, and subsequently ensure $original_object is reblessed into the class of $replacement_object

inplace_to_FromCode

Shorthand for

inplace_replace( $file, to_FromCode($file) );

inplace_to_InMemory

Shorthand for

inplace_replace( $file, to_InMemory($file) );

munge_file

# munge_file ( $FILE , \%CONFIGURATION )

munge_file(
  $zilla_file,
  {
    via => sub { ... },
      lazy => $laziness
  }
);

$FILE

A ::Role::File object to munge.

%CONFIGURATION

{
  via => $CODEREF,
  lazy => $LAZINESS,
}

$CODEREF

Called to munge the file itself.

Passed a reference to the ::Role::File instance, and a scalar containing the contents of that file.

Return new content for the file via return

sub {
  my ( $file, $content ) = @_ ;
  ...;
  return $newcontent;
}

$LAZINESS

Specify how lazy you want the munge to be performed. Normally, what this is set to is dependent on the type of file being munged.

$LAZINESS = undef ;  # use default for the file type
$LAZINESS = 0     ;  # Munge immediately
$LAZINESS = 1     ;  # Defer munging till as late as possible.

For things that are normally backed by scalar values, such as ::File::OnDisk and ::File::InMemory , the laziness is equivalent to $LAZINESS = 0 , which is not lazy at all, and munges the file content immediately.

For things backed by code, such as ::File::FromCode , munging defaults to $LAZINESS = 1 , where the actual munging sub you specify is executed as late as possible.

You can specify the $LAZINESS value explicitly if you want to customize the behavior, i.e.: Make something that is presently a scalar type get munged as late as possible ( converting the file into a FromCode file ), or make something currently backed by code get munged "now", ( converting the file into a InMemory file )

munge_files

This is mostly a convenience utility for munging a lot of files without having to hand-code the looping logic.

It basically just proxies for "munge_file".

# munge_files ( \@FILEARRAY , \%CONFIGURATION )

munge_files( [ $zilla_file_one, $zilla_file_two, ], {
  via => sub { ... },
  lazy => $laziness,
});

@FILEARRAY

An ArrayRef of "$FILE"
