NAME¶

App::DocKnot::Config - Read and return DocKnot package configuration

SYNOPSIS¶

    use App::DocKnot::Config;
    my $reader = App::DocKnot::Config->new({ metadata => 'docs/docknot.yaml' });
    my $config = $reader->config();

REQUIREMENTS¶

Perl 5.24 or later and the modules File::BaseDir, File::ShareDir, Kwalify, and YAML::XS, all of which are available from CPAN.

DESCRIPTION¶

This component of DocKnot reads and returns the configuration for a package. It takes as input a directory of metadata and returns the configuration information as a hash.

Additional metadata about specific licenses is loaded via File::BaseDir and therefore uses XDG paths by default. This means that license metadata is found by searching the following paths in order:

1.

$HOME/.config/docknot

2.

$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/docknot (/etc/xdg/docknot by default)

3.

Files included in the package.

Default license metadata is included with the App::DocKnot module and is used unless more specific configuration files exist.

CLASS METHODS¶

new(ARGS)

Create a new App::DocKnot::Config object. This should be used for all subsequent actions. ARGS should be a hash reference with one or more of the following keys:

INSTANCE METHODS¶

config()

Load the metadata for the package and return it as a hash. The possible keys of this hash and the possible values are not yet documented.
