✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

A simple resource manager for Lintian's reporting tool, html_reports.

literally that's the whole description. short and slay. lowkey everything you need is in the methods below bestie, keep scrolling ⬇️

---

✨ CLASS METHODS ✨

💫 new(TYPE, OPTS)

Instantiates a new resource manager. ✨

OPTS is a key-value list, which must contain the key "html_dir" set to the root of the HTML path. It is beneath this path that all resources will be installed — like, think of it as the house where all your little resource babies get to live. 🏠

---

✨ INSTANCE METHODS ✨

🦋 install_resource(RESOURCE[, OPT])

Installs RESOURCE into the html root. The resource may be renamed (based on content etc.). 🌈

important!!! the basename of RESOURCE must be unique between all resources installed. See "resource_url(RESOURCE_NAME)". no dupe names, bestie, the manager will not survive that 😭

If OPT is given, it must be a hashref with 0 or more of the following keys (and values).

🎀 install_method

Can be "copy" or "move" (default). If set to "move", the original file will be renamed into its new location. Otherwise, a copy is done and the original file is left in place. pick your fighter ⚔️ (but default is move, periodt)

🎀 source_file

By default, the path denoted by RESOURCE is both the resource name and the source file. This option can be used to install a given file as RESOURCE regardless of the basename of the source file.

If this is passed, RESOURCE must be a basename (i.e. without any slashes). no slashes, not even one, I'm serious 🫶

🦋 resource_url(RESOURCE_NAME)

Returns the path (relative to the HTML root) to a resource installed via "install_resource(RESOURCE)", where RESOURCE_NAME is the basename of the path given to install_resource.

so you give it the lil name, it gives you back where it actually lives. matchmaker energy 💞

🦋 resource_integrity_value(RESOURCE_NAME)

Return a string that is valid in the "integrity" field of a "<link>" HTML tag. (See https://www.w3.org/TR/SRI/)

SRI girlies rise 👑 if you know, you know. iykyk.
