NAME Acme::CPANModules::PERLANCAR::PluginSystem - List of my modules/frameworks which use a particular plugin system style VERSION This document describes version 0.001 of Acme::CPANModules::PERLANCAR::PluginSystem (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-PERLANCAR-PluginSystem), released on 2023-07-23. DESCRIPTION This is a personal list of my modules/frameworks which use a particular plugin system style which I will someday extract into its own framework (Plugin::System). (And I am also slowly converting more of my plugin-supporting projects to use this style). Some of the features of this particular plugin style: * a plugin can be installed more than once and parameterized (like in Dist::Zilla or Pod::Weaver) [flexibility]; * execution order of plugins is by priority, then by its order of activation; * a plugin has a default priority value but the value can be overriden by user [flexibility]; * a plugin has a default event in which it participates, but user can overrides this [flexibility]; * support for repeating an event [flexibility]; * support for skipping (aborting) an event [flexibility]; ACME::CPANMODULES ENTRIES ScriptX Author: PERLANCAR <https://metacpan.org/author/PERLANCAR> Started in late 2019, this is the first framework where the I thought out the rough feature set that I want. ScriptX was written to eventually replace Perinci::CmdLine: I want a framework that can be used to write web scripts/form handlers as well as CLI scripts, with more flexibility in composing behavior/functionality (i.e. plugin-based). But turns out I haven't had enough time to hack on it, and making CLI scripts are 99% of what I use Perl for; thus Perinci::CmdLine lives on for now (with plugins since 1.900). Perinci::CmdLine::Lite Author: PERLANCAR <https://metacpan.org/author/PERLANCAR> While waiting for ScriptX to get into a usable form, I implemented a similar system to my CLI framework, Perinci::CmdLine starting from 1.900 (released in Oct 2020). Require::HookPlugin Another project where I implemented the same plugin system to a require hook framework. Require::HookPlugin (RHP) was started in July 2023 because I found hook ordering in Require::HookChain (RHC) to be fragile and error-prone. Plus, I want more customizability and composability than what RHC provides. FAQ What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module? An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more details. What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module? Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution): % cpanm-cpanmodules -n PERLANCAR::PluginSystem Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules distribution): % cpanmodules ls-entries PERLANCAR::PluginSystem | cpanm -n or Acme::CM::Get: % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=PERLANCAR::PluginSystem -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n or directly: % perl -MAcme::CPANModules::PERLANCAR::PluginSystem -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::PERLANCAR::PluginSystem::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules" are found.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via: % prove -l If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2023 by perlancar <perlancar@cpan.org>.
