NAME
Dist::Conformance::Source - Where the standards come from: the flavor files and the templates
VERSION
version 0.001
SYNOPSIS
use 5.040;
use Dist::Conformance::Source::Directory;
my $source = Dist::Conformance::Source::Directory->new( directory => '/bogus/standards', path => 'skills/packaging-perl' );
my $flavor_text = $source->file('conformance/troglodyne.yml');DESCRIPTION
A source is a directory tree of standards: flavor files under conformance/, and the templates that they name, at any path the flavor chooses. This class is the interface. Dist::Conformance builds one of its two implementations from the source key of .conformance.yml:
- Dist::Conformance::Source::Git
-
{ git => URL, ref => REF, path => PATH }. A git repository, fetched into a cache directory. - Dist::Conformance::Source::Directory
-
{ directory => DIR, path => PATH }. A directory on this machine, read as it is. It works offline, and the tests use it.
In both, path is the directory inside the tree that holds conformance/. Every path that a flavor names, such as a template, is relative to it. "THE STANDARDS REPOSITORY" in Dist::Conformance::Flavor describes the layout.
ATTRIBUTES
path
The directory inside the tree that the standards start from. Default the top of the tree.
METHODS
root
The directory of the whole tree, as a Mojo::File. A subclass must implement it.
describe
A short description of the source for a message, such as the URL and the ref. A subclass must implement it.
base
The directory that "path" names, as a Mojo::File.
file
($relative). The bytes of the file at $relative below "base". Dies when there is no such file, and on an absolute path or a path with a .. component.
exists_file
($relative). Whether "file" would find $relative.
WRITING A SOURCE
Subclass this module and implement "root" and "describe". "root" is the place to fetch, because every read goes through it.
