Dist::Zilla::Role::BundleDeps - Automatically add all plugins in a bundle as dependencies
version 0.002005
package blahblahblah; use Moose; ... with 'Dist::Zilla::Role::PluginBundle'; with 'Dist::Zilla::Role::BundleDeps';
Dependencies appear now for all plugins returned.
This role attempts to solve the problem of communicating dependencies to META.* from bundles in a different way.
My first attempt was [Prereqs::Plugins], which added all values that are seen in the dist.ini to dependencies.
[Prereqs::Plugins]
dist.ini
However, that was inherently limited, as the :version specifier is lost before the plugins appear on $zilla->plugins
:version
$zilla->plugins
This Role however, can see any declarations of :version your bundle advertises, by standing between your bundle_config method and Dist::Zilla
bundle_config
Dist::Zilla
bundledeps_defaults
This method provides the HashRef of defaults to use for the generated Prereqs section.

Prereqs
Because this role is intended to advertise Plugin Bundle dependencies, and because those dependencies will be "develop" dependencies everywhere other than the bundle itself, our defaults are:
{ -phase => develop, -relationship => requires, }
These can be overridden when consuming a bundle in dist.ini
[@Author::MyBundle] ; authordep Dist::Zilla::Role::BundleDeps bundledeps_phase = runtime bundledeps_relationship = requires
If you bundle plugins with your bundle, and use those plugins in the bundle, you'll risk a self-reference problem, which may be solved in a future release of Dist::Zilla.
Until then, you'll need to possibly use [RemovePrereqs] to trim self-references.
[RemovePrereqs]
When using your bundle to ship itself, the use of this role can imply some confusion if the role is not installed, as dzil listdeps will require this role present to work.
dzil listdeps
It is subsequently recommended to state an explicit AuthorDep in dist.ini to avoid this.
AuthorDep
[Bootstrap::lib] [@Author::MyBundle] ; authordep Dist::Zilla::Role::BundleDeps bundledeps_phase = runtime bundledeps_relationship = requires
