NAME¶

Dist::Zilla::Role::FileFinderUser - something that uses FileFinder plugins

VERSION¶

version 5.020

DESCRIPTION¶

This role enables you to search for files in the dist. This makes it easy to find specific files and have the code factored out to common methods. Here's an example of a finder: ( taken from AutoPrereqs )

  with 'Dist::Zilla::Role::FileFinderUser' => {
      default_finders  => [ ':InstallModules', ':ExecFiles' ],
  };

Then you use it in your code like this:

  foreach my $file ( $self->found_files ) {
    # $file is an object! Look at L<Dist::Zilla::Role::File>
  }

ATTRIBUTES¶

Define the name of the attribute which will hold this finder. Be sure to specify different names if you have multiple finders! This is an ArrayRef. Default: [ qw( finder ) ]

default_finders¶

This attribute is an arrayref of plugin names for the default plugins the consuming plugin will use as finders. Example: "[ qw( :InstallModules :ExecFiles ) ]" The default finders are:

:ExecFiles

:All

Returns all files in the distribution.

:None
