Dist::Zilla::Role::PluginBundle::Easy(3)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::Role::PluginBundle::Easy - something that bundles a bunch of plugins easily

VERSION
version 5.006

SYNOPSIS
  package Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Example;
  use Moose;
  with 'Dist::Zilla::Role::PluginBundle::Easy';

  sub configure {
    my $self = shift;

    $self->add_plugins('VersionFromModule');
    $self->add_bundle('Basic');
  }

DESCRIPTION
This role builds upon the PluginBundle role, adding methods to take most of the grunt work out of creating a bundle. It supplies the "bundle_config" method for you. In exchange, you must supply a "configure" method, which will store the bundle's configuration in the "plugins" attribute by calling "add_plugins" and/or "add_bundle".

ATTRIBUTES

  name
This is the bundle name, taken from the Section passed to "bundle_config".

  payload
This hashref contains the bundle's parameters (if any), taken from the Section passed to "bundle_config".

  plugins
This arrayref contains the configuration that will be returned by "bundle_config". You normally modify this by using the "add_plugins" and "add_bundle" methods.

METHODS

  add_plugins
  $self->add_plugins('Plugin1', [ Plugin2 => \%plugin2config ])

Use this method to add plugins to your bundle.

It is passed a list of plugin specifiers, which can be one of a few things:

•   a plugin moniker (like you might provide in your config file)

•   an arrayref of: "[ $moniker, $plugin_name, \%plugin_config"

In the case of an arrayref, both $plugin_name and "\%plugin_config" are optional.

The plugins are added to the config in the order given.

  add_bundle
  $self->add_bundle(BundleName => \%bundle_config)

Use this method to add all the plugins from another bundle to your bundle. If you omit %bundle_config, an empty hashref will be supplied.

  config_slice
  $hash_ref = $self->config_slice(arg1, { arg2 => 'plugin_arg2' })

Use this method to extract parameters from your bundle's "payload" so that you can pass them to a plugin or subsidiary bundle. It supports easy renaming of parameters, since a plugin may expect a parameter name that's too generic to be suitable for a bundle.

Each arg is either a key in "payload", or a hashref that maps keys in "payload" to keys in the hash being constructed. If any specified key does not exist in "payload", then it is omitted from the result.
