SYNOPSIS
In your plugin:
# Iterate through the distribution files listed in MANIFEST
# (files not included into distrubution are not iterated):
my $files = $self->zilla->plugin_named( 'Manifest::Read' )->find_files();
for my $file ( @$files ) {
…
};DESCRIPTION
This class consumes Dist::Zilla::Role::FileGatherer and Dist::Zilla::Role::FileFinder role. In order to fulfill requirements, the class implements gather_files and find_files methods. Other methods are supporting.
The class also consumes Dist::Zilla::Role::ErrorReporter role. It allows the class not to stop at the first problem but continue and report multiple errors to user.
OBJECT ATTRIBUTES
manifest
Name of manifest file to read.
Str, read-only, default value is MANIFEST.
_files
Array of files (object of Dist::Zilla::File::OnDisk class) listed in the manifest and marked for inclusion to the distribution.
ArrayRef, read-only, lazy, initialized with builder.
_lines
Array of chomped manifest lines, including comments and empty lines.
ArrayRef[Str], read-only, lazy, initialized with builder.
OBJECT METHODS
gather_files
This method fulfills Dist::Zilla::Role::FileGatherer role requirement. It adds files listed in manifest to distribution. Files marked to exclude from distribution and directories are not added, though.
find_files
This method fulfills Dist::Zilla::Role::FileFinder role requirement. It returns ArrayRef of files (objects of Dist::Zilla::File::OnDisk class), listed in manifest and marked for inclusion to the distribution.
This method can be called by other plugins to iterate through files added by Manifest::Read, see "SYNOPSIS".
_parse_lines
This method parses manifest lines. Each line is parsed separately (there is no line continuation).
If the method fails to parse a line, error is reported by calling method log_error (implemented in Dist::Zilla::Role::ErrorLogger). This means that parsing is not stopped at the first failure, but entire manifest will be parsed and all the found errors will be reported.
The method returns list of hashrefs, a hash per file. Each hash has following keys and values:
- filename
-
Parsed filename (single-quoted filenames are unquoted, escape sequences are evaluated, if any).
- marker
-
Marker.
- comment
-
File comment, leading and trailed whitespaces are stripped.
- line
-
Number of manifest line the file listed in.
