Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GenerateFile::ShareDir - Create files in the build, based on a template located in a dist sharedir
version 0.005
In your dist.ini:
[GenerateFile::ShareDir] -dist = Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::ME -source_filename = my_data_template.txt -destination_filename = examples/my_data.txt key1 = value to pass to template key2 = another value to pass to template
Generates a file in your dist, indicated by -destination_file, based on the Text::Template located in the -source_file of -dist's distribution sharedir. Any extra config values are passed along to the template, in addition to $zilla and $plugin objects.
-destination_file
-source_file
-dist
$zilla
$plugin
I expect that usually the -dist that contains the template will be either a plugin bundle, so you can generate a custom-tailored file in your dist, or a plugin that subclasses this one. (Otherwise, you can just as easily use Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ShareDir to generate the file directly, without needing a sharedir.)
This plugin accepts the following options:
The distribution name to use when finding the sharedir (see File::ShareDir and Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ShareDir). Defaults to the dist corresponding to the running plugin.
-destination_filename or -filename
-destination_filename
-filename
The filename to generate in the distribution being built. Required.
-source_filename
The filename in the sharedir to use to generate the new file. Defaults to the same filename and path as -destination_file.
-encoding
The encoding of the source file; will also be used for the encoding of the destination file. Defaults to UTF-8.
arbitrary option
All other keys/values provided will be passed to the template as is.
Bugs may be submitted through the RT bug tracker (or bug-Dist-Zilla-Plugin-GenerateFile-ShareDir@rt.cpan.org). I am also usually active on irc, as 'ether' at irc.perl.org.
