=head1 NAME
Module::Patch - Patch package with a set of patches
=head1 VERSION
This document describes version 0.278 of Module::Patch (from Perl distribution Module-Patch), released on 2024-04-17.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
In this example, we're patching L<HTTP::Tiny> to add automatic retrying.
L<Module::Patch> can be used in two ways: either directly or via creating your
own patch module based on Module::Patch.
=head2 Using Module::Patch directly
use Module::Patch qw(patch_package);
use Log::ger;
my $handle = patch_package('HTTP::Tiny', [
{
action => 'wrap',
mod_version => qr/^0\.*/,
sub_name => 'request',
code => sub {
my $ctx = shift;
my $orig = $ctx->{orig};
my ($self, $method, $url) = @_;
my $retries = 0;
my $res;
while (1) {
$res = $orig->(@_);
return $res if $res->{status} !~ /\A[5]/; # only retry 5xx responses
last if $retries >= $config{-retries};
$retries++;
log_trace "Failed requesting $url ($res->{status} - $res->{reason}), retrying" .
($config{-delay} ? " in $config{-delay} second(s)" : "") .
" ($retries of $config{-retries}) ...";
sleep $config{-delay};
}
$res;
};
},
]);
# do stuffs with HTTP::Tiny
my $res = HTTP::Tiny->new->request(...);
...
# unpatch, restore original subroutines/methods
undef $handle;
=head2 Creating patch module by subclassing Module::Patch
In your patch module F<lib/HTTP/Tiny/Patch/Retry.pm>:
package HTTP::Tiny::Patch::Retry;
use parent qw(Module::Patch);
use Log::ger;
our %config;
sub patch_data {
return {
v => 3,
config => {
-delay => {
summary => 'Number of seconds to wait between retries',
schema => 'nonnegint*',
default => 2,
},
-retries => {
summary => 'Maximum number of retries to perform consecutively on a request (0=disable retry)',
schema => 'nonnegint*',
default => 3,
},
},
patches => [
{
action => 'wrap',
mod_version => qr/^0\.*/,
sub_name => 'request',
code => sub {
my $ctx = shift;
my $orig = $ctx->{orig};
my ($self, $method, $url) = @_;
my $retries = 0;
my $res;
while (1) {
$res = $orig->(@_);
return $res if $res->{status} !~ /\A[5]/; # only retry 5xx responses
last if $retries >= $config{-retries};
$retries++;
log_trace "Failed requesting $url ($res->{status} - $res->{reason}), retrying" .
($config{-delay} ? " in $config{-delay} second(s)" : "") .
" ($retries of $config{-retries}) ...";
sleep $config{-delay};
}
$res;
};
},
], # patches
# other Module::Patch import options can be specified here
# -load_target => 1,
# -warn_target_loaded => 1,
# -force => 0,
};
}
1;
Using your patch module in Perl:
use HTTP::Tiny::Patch::Retry
-retries => 4, # optional, default is 3 as per configuration
-delay => 5, # optional, default is 2 as per configuration
;
# do stuffs with HTTP::Tiny
my $res = HTTP::Tiny->new->request(...);
# unpatch, restore original subroutines/methods in target module (HTTP::Tiny)
HTTP::Tiny::Patch::Retry->unimport;
To patch locally:
use HTTP::Tiny::Patch::Retry ();
sub get_data {
HTTP::Tiny::Patch::Retry->import;
my $res = HTTP::TIny->new->request(...);
HTTP::Tiny::Patch::Retry->unimport;
$res;
}
Using your patch module on the command-line:
% perl -MHTTP::Tiny::Patch::Retry -E'my $res = HTTP::Tiny->new->request(...); ...'
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Module::Patch is basically a convenient way to define and bundle a set of
patches. Actual patching is done by L<Monkey::Patch::Action>, which provides
lexically scoped patching.
There are two ways to use this module:
=over 4
=item * subclass it
This is used for convenient bundling of patches. You create a I<patch module> (a
module that monkey-patches other module by adding/replacing/wrapping/deleting
subroutines of target module) by subclassing Module::Patch and providing the
patches specification in patch_data() method.
Patch module should be named I<Some::Module>::Patch::I<YourCategory>.
I<YourCategory> should be a keyword or phrase (verb + obj) that describes what
the patch does. For example, L<HTTP::Daemon::Patch::IPv6>,
L<LWP::UserAgent::Patch::LogResponse>.
Patch module should be use()'d, or require()'d + import()'ed instead of just
require()'d, because the patching is done in import().
=item * require/import it directly
Module::Patch provides B<patch_package> which is the actual routine to do the
patching.
=back
=for Pod::Coverage ^(unimport|patch_data|is_loaded)$
=head1 PATCH DATA SPECIFICATION
Patch data must be stored in C<patch_data()> subroutine. It must be a L<DefHash>
(i.e. a regular Perl hash) with the following known properties:
=over
=item * v => int
Must be 3 (current version).
=item * patches => array
Will be passed to C<patch_package()>.
=item * config => hash
A hash of name and config specifications. Config specification is another
DefHash and can contain the following properties: C<schema> (a L<Sah> schema),
C<default> (default value).
=item * after_read_config => coderef
A hook to run after patch module is imported and configuration has been read.
=item * before_patch => coderef
=item * after_patch => coderef
=item * before_unpatch => coderef
=item * after_unpatch => coderef
=back
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=head2 import
If imported directly, will export @exports as arguments and export requested
symbols.
If imported from subclass, will take %opts as arguments and run patch_package()
on caller package. %opts include:
=over 4
=item * -load_target => BOOL (default 1)
Load target modules. Set to 0 if package is already defined in other files and
cannot be require()-ed.
=item * -warn_target_loaded => BOOL (default 1)
If set to false, do not warn if target modules are loaded before the patch
module. By default, it warns to prevent users making the mistake of importing
subroutines from target modules before they are patched.
=item * -force => BOOL
Will be passed to patch_package's \%opts.
=back
=head2 patch_package
Usage:
my $handle = patch_package($package, $patches_spec, \%opts);
Patch target package C<$package> with a set of patches.
C<$patches_spec> is an arrayref containing a series of patches specifications.
Each patch specification is a hashref containing these keys: C<action> (string,
required; either 'wrap', 'add', 'replace', 'add_or_replace', 'delete'),
C<mod_version> (string/regex or array of string/regex, can be ':all' to mean all
versions; optional; defaults to ':all'). C<sub_name> (string/regex or array of
string/regex, subroutine(s) to patch, can be ':all' to mean all subroutine,
':public' to mean all public subroutines [those not prefixed by C<_>],
':private' to mean all private), C<code> (coderef, not required if C<action> is
'delete').
Die if there is conflict with other patch modules, for example if target module
has been patched 'delete' and another patch wants to 'wrap' it.
Known options:
=over 4
=item * force => BOOL (default 0)
Force patching even if target module version does not match. The default is to
warn and skip patching.
=back
=head1 FAQ
=head2 Why patch? Why not subclass the target module?
Sometimes the target module is not easily subclassable or at all. But even if
the target module is subclassable, all client code must explicitly use the
subclass. Patching allows us to modify behavior of a target module without
changing any client code that use that module.
=head2 Why create a patch module? Why not submit patches to the module's author?
Not all patches are potentials for inclusion into the upstream (target module).
But even if a patch is, creating and releasing a patch module can get you
something working sooner (while you wait for the original author to respond to
your patch, if ever).
=head2 This module does not work! The target module does not get patched!
It probably does. Some of the common mistakes are:
=over
=item * Not storing the handle
You do this:
patch_package(...);
instead of this:
my $handle = patch_package(...);
Since the handle is used to revert the patch, if you do not store C<$handle>,
you are basically patching and immediately reverting the patch.
=item * Importing before patching
If C<Target::Module> exports symbols, and you patch one of the default exports,
the users need to patch before importing. Otherwise he/she will get the
unpatched version. For example, this won't work:
use Target::Module; # by default export foo
use Target::Module::Patch::Foo; # patches foo
foo(); # user gets the unpatched version
While this does:
use Target::Module::Patch::Foo; # patches foo
use Target::Module; # by default export foo
foo(); # user gets the patched version
Since 0.16, Module::Patch already warns this (unless C<-load_target> or
C<-warn_target_loaded> is set to false).

=head1 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 L<Dist::Zilla>,
L<Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR>,
L<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.
