App::Sp...Command(3)

hey bestie 💖 welcome to the App::Sp...Command(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation. This is the role that commands and subcommands both use — shared main character energy, periodt. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

App::Spec::Role::Command — commands and subcommands both use this role. That's the whole vibe: they both show up and use this role. No cap, it's literally the shared role. 🫶

🛠️ METHODS 🛠️

Vibe check: here are all the methods, in order, with all the deets. ✨

💅 read

Calls load_data, build, load_plugins, init_plugins. That's it — it's giving “run the whole little pipeline.” ✨

🌱 build

This builds a tree of objects. Literally a tree. Like:

my $self = App::Spec->build(%$hashref);
my $self = App::Spec::Subcommand->build(%$hashref);

🍓 load_data

my $spec = App::Spec->load_data($file);

Takes a filename as a string, a filehandle, a ref to a YAML string or a hashref. So many forms, all valid, no cap. 💖

🎀 default_plugins

Returns ('Meta', 'Help'). Those two. Iconic. 👑

🦋 has_subcommands

Returns 1 if there are any subcommands defined. Just one, bestie — not a whole essay. 😌

🔥 init_plugins

Initialize plugins. Yep, that's the whole description, and it understood the assignment. ✨

🌈 load_plugins

Loads the specified plugin modules. Plugins? Loaded. Slay. 💅

🧚 plugins_by_type

my $p = $cmd->plugins_by_type->{Subcommand};

Here's the call shape for grabbing plugins by type. iykyk. 💜

🌸 ATTRIBUTES 🌸

The attributes are lowkey the accessories of this role — here's every single one. 🌸

👑 class

Specifies the class which implements the app. Main character class energy, fr fr. ✨

🎀 op, description, markup, name, options, parameters, plugins, subcommands

Accessors for specification items. All of them. Every single one. No skipped faves. 💖
