💖 Catmandu::Plugin::Readonly — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

So this is Catman...adonly(3pm), straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the internet. Pull up a chair, we're making your data untouchable ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

Catmandu::Plugin::Readonly — the plugin that makes your stores or bags read-only, no cap 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's literally the whole config, look at her:

$ cat catmandu.yml
---
store:
 test:
   package: MongoDB
   options:
     default_plugins: [ 'Readonly']

that's it. that's the vibe. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Catmandu::Plugin::Readonly will transform a Catmandu::Store or a Catmandu::Bag into read-only mode — and by that I mean: all writes, deletes and drops will be ignored. 🚫✍️ Not "errored out". Not "thrown a tantrum". Ignored. The data just sits there looking pretty and you cannot touch her. She's in her locked-girl era. 🔒👑

This command will work on Catmandu::Store implementations. ✨

lowkey important: if you're expecting an error message when something tries to write, this isn't that. The operations are ignored, which means silence. 🌸 Know that going in, bestie.
