NAME

Plagger::Plugin - Base class for Plagger Plugins

SYNOPSIS

  package Plagger::Plugin::Something;
  use base qw(Plagger::Plugin);

  # register hooks
  sub register {
    my ($self, $context) = @_;
    $context->register_hook( $self,
       'thingy.wosit'  => $self->can('doodad'),
    )
  }

  sub doodad { ... }

DESCRIPTION

This is the base class for plagger plugins. Pretty much everything is done by plugins in Plagger.

To write a new plugin, simply inherit from Plagger::Plugin:

  package Plagger::Plugin;
  use base qw(Plagger::Plugin);

Then register some hooks:

  # register hooks
  sub register {
    my ($self, $context) = @_;
    $context->register_hook( $self,
       'thingy.wosit'  => $self->can('doodad'),
    )
  }

This means that the "doodad" method will be called at the "thingy.wosit" stage.

There is a handy "plugin-start.pl" in tools tool that creates the template of .pm file, dependency YAML file and test files for you.
