NAME
Pod::Weaver::Plugin::Rinci - Insert stuffs to POD from Rinci metadata
VERSION
This document describes version 0.785 of Pod::Weaver::Plugin::Rinci
(from Perl distribution Pod-Weaver-Plugin-Rinci), released on
2023-03-02.
SYNOPSIS
In your weaver.ini:
[-Rinci]
;exclude_modules = REGEX
;exclude_files = REGEX
DESCRIPTION
This plugin inserts stuffs to POD documentation based on information
found on Rinci metadata.
For modules
For modules, the following are inserted:
* DESCRIPTION
From "description" property from package metadata, if any.
* FUNCTIONS (or METHODS)
Documentation for each function (or method) for which the metadata
is found under the package will be added here. For each function,
there will be summary, description, usage, list of arguments and
their documentation, as well as examples, according to what's
available in the function metadata of corresponding function.
To get Rinci metadata from a module, Perinci::Access::Perl is used.
For Perinci::CmdLine-based CLI script
For scripts using Perinci::CmdLine (or its variant ::Any and ::Lite),
the following are inserted:
* SYNOPSIS
If the script's POD does not yet have this section, this section
will be added containing the usage line of the script.
* DESCRIPTION
If the script's POD does not already have this section, and if the
script does not have subcommands, description from function metadata
will be inserted here, if any.
* SUBCOMMANDS
If the script's POD does not already have his section, and if the
script has subcommands, then each subcommand will be listed here
along with its summary and description.
* OPTIONS
If the script's POD does not already have his section, command-line
options for the script will be listed here. If script has
subcommands, the options will be categorized per subcommand.
* CONFIGURATION
If the script's POD does not already have his section, general
information about configuration files and available configuration
parameters will be listed here. If script has subcommands, the
parameters will be categorized per subcommand.
* FILES
Configuration files read by script will be listed here.
To get Perinci::CmdLine object information (which contains the URL of
the Rinci function, or the list of subcommands, among others), the
script is run with a patched "run()" that will dump the content of the
object and exit immediately, so the plugin can inspect it.
Caveats: 1) Function used by the script must reside in the module, not
embedded inside the script itself, otherwise it will not be readable by
the plugin. 2) Coderef "subcommands" is not supported.
To exclude a script from being processed, you can also put "#
NO_PWP_RINCI" in the script.
CONFIGURATION
exclude_modules
String, a regex.
exclude_files
String, a regex.
use_require_hook_source_dzilbuild
Bool, default true.
Since weaver.ini does not provide something like @Filter in dist.ini,
you can also use the environment variable
"PERL_POD_WEAVER_PLUGIN_RINCI_USE_REQUIRE_HOOK_SOURCE_DZILBUILD" to set
the default value of this configuration option.
force_reload
Bool, default true.
Whether to force reloading modules, to get the latest version (e.g. a
module is already loaded by another plugin but then might get modified;
when we are processing the module we might want to reload to get the
latest version.
But this reloading sometimes causes the module to fail to compile, so
this option exists.
Since weaver.ini does not provide something like @Filter in dist.ini,
you can also use the environment variable
"PERL_POD_WEAVER_PLUGIN_RINCI_FORCE_RELOAD" to set the default value of
this configuration option.
ENVIRONMENT
PERL_POD_WEAVER_PLUGIN_RINCI_USE_REQUIRE_HOOK_SOURCE_DZILBUILD
Bool. Used to set the default for the
"/use_require_hook_source_dzilbuild" configuration option.
PERL_POD_WEAVER_PLUGIN_RINCI_FORCE_RELOAD
Bool. Used to set the default for the "/force_reload" configuration
option.
PERL_POD_WEAVER_PLUGIN_RINCI_EXCLUDE_MODULES
String (regex pattern). Used to set the default value for the
"/exclude_modules" configuration option.
PERL_POD_WEAVER_PLUGIN_RINCI_EXCLUDE_FILES
String (regex pattern). Used to set the default value for the
"/exclude_files" configuration option.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
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.
