SYNOPSIS
Somewhere in your build-file (e.g. Module::Install's Makefile.PL):
...
configure_requires 'DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader' => '0.07025';
require DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Optional::Dependencies;
my $use_moose_deps = DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Optional::Dependencies->req_list_for ('use_moose');
for (keys %$use_moose_deps) {
requires $_ => $use_moose_deps->{$_};
}
...
Note that there are some caveats regarding "configure_requires()", more info can be found at ``configure_requires'' in Module::Install
DESCRIPTION
Some of the features of DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader have external module dependencies on their own. In order not to burden the average user with modules he will never use, these optional dependencies are not included in the base Makefile.PL. Instead an exception with a descriptive message is thrown when a specific feature is missing one or several modules required for its operation. This module is the central holding place for the current list of such dependencies.CURRENT REQUIREMENT GROUPS
Dependencies are organized in "groups" and each group can list one or more required modules, with an optional minimum version (or 0 for any version).dbicdump config file
Modules required for using a config file with dbicdump- Config::Any
Requirement group: dbicdump_config
dbicdump config file testing
Modules required for using testing using a config file with dbicdump- Config::Any
- Config::General
Requirement group: test_dbicdump_config
use_moose
Modules required for the use_moose option- Moose >= 1.12
- MooseX::MarkAsMethods >= 0.13
- MooseX::NonMoose >= 0.16
- namespace::autoclean >= 0.09
Requirement group: use_moose
METHODS
req_group_list
- Arguments: $none
- Returns: \%list_of_requirement_groups
This method should be used by DBIx::Class packagers, to get a hashref of all dependencies keyed by dependency group. Each key (group name) can be supplied to one of the group-specific methods below.
req_list_for
- Arguments: $group_name
- Returns: \%list_of_module_version_pairs
This method should be used by DBIx::Class extension authors, to determine the version of modules a specific feature requires in the current version of DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader. See the ``SYNOPSIS'' for a real-world example.
req_ok_for
- Arguments: $group_name
- Returns: 1|0
Returns true or false depending on whether all modules required by $group_name are present on the system and loadable
req_missing_for
- Arguments: $group_name
- Returns: $error_message_string
Returns a single line string suitable for inclusion in larger error messages. This method would normally be used by DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader maintainers, to indicate to the user that he needs to install specific modules before he will be able to use a specific feature.
For example if some of the requirements for "use_moose" are not available, the returned string could look like:
Moose >= 0 (see use_moose for details)
The author is expected to prepend the necessary text to this message before returning the actual error seen by the user.
req_errorlist_for
- Arguments: $group_name
- Returns: \%list_of_loaderrors_per_module
Returns a hashref containing the actual errors that occured while attempting to load each module in the requirement group.
