NAME

Footprintless::Overlay - An overlay manager

VERSION

version 1.06

SYNOPSIS

# Standard way of getting an overlay
my $overlay = Footprintless->new()->overlay('overlay');
$overlay->clean();
$overlay->initialize();
$overlay->update();

DESCRIPTION

Overlays are a combination of a directory of static files and a directory of templated files that will be merged to an output directory. This is implemented in Template::Overlay.

ENTITIES

A simple overlay:

overlay => {
base_dir => "/home/me/foo/base",
clean => [
"/opt/tomcat/"
],
hostname => 'localhost',
key => 'T',
os => 'linux',
template_dir => "/home/me/foo/template",
to_dir => '/opt/foo/tomcat'
}

A more complex example:

foo => {
hostname => 'test.pastdev.com',
overlay => {
'Config::Entities::inherit' => ['hostname', 'sudo_username'],
base_dir => '/home/me/foo/base',
clean => [
'/opt/foo/tomcat/'
],
key => 'T',
os => 'linux',
resolver_coordinate => 'foo',
template_dir => '/home/me/foo/template',
to_dir => '/opt/foo/tomcat'
},
sudo_username => 'developer',
tomcat => {
'Config::Entities::inherit' => ['hostname', 'sudo_username'],
catalina_base => '/opt/foo/tomcat',
http => {
port => 20080
},
service => {
action => {
'kill' => { command_args => 'stop -force' },
'status' => { use_pid => 1 }
},
command => '/opt/foo/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh',
pid_file => '/opt/foo/tomcat/bin/.catalina.pid',
},
shutdown => {
port => 8505,
password => $properties->{'foo.tomcat.shutdown.password'},
},
trust_store => {
'Config::Entities::inherit' => ['hostname', 'sudo_username'],
file => '/opt/foo/tomcat/certs/truststore.jks',
include_java_home_cacerts => 1,
password => $properties->{'foo.tomcat.trust_store.password'},
}
}
}

CONSTRUCTORS

new($entity, $coordinate)

Constructs a new overlay configured by $entities at $coordinate.

METHODS

clean()

Cleans the overlay. Each path in the clean entity, will be removed from the destination. If the path ends in a /, then after being removed, the directory will be recreated.

initialize()

Will call clean, then overlay on an instance of Template::Overlay configured to this entity.

update()

Will overlay ONLY the templated files. It will not clean, nor copy any files from base_dir like initialize does.

CONFIGURATION

This module can optionally be configured to use a customized resolver. To do so, configure a resolver factory in your entities:

footprintless => {
overlay => {
resolver_factory => 'My::ResolverFactory'
}
}

The resolver factory must have a new_resolver method that takes a spec and a list of options and returns a Template::Resolver, for example:

sub new_resolver {
my ($self, $resolver_spec, %resolver_opts) = @_;
return Template::Resolver->new(
$resolver_spec,
%resolver_opts,
additional_transforms => {
random => sub {
my ($resolver_self, $value) = @_;
return $value . rand();
}
});
}
