✨ NAME ✨

Config::Model::models::Dpkg::Copyright::ScanPatterns β€” the configuration class, aka Dpkg::Copyright::ScanPatterns. that's literally its whole name and it's wearing it like a crown πŸ‘‘


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

it's a configuration class, and it gets used by Config::Model. no cap, that's the vibe. Config::Model is the parent and this little class is thriving under it πŸ’–


πŸŽ€ Elements πŸŽ€

these are the actual knobs you can turn, and there are exactly two of them. short list, iconic list ✨

check πŸ”

files that match any of these patterns are gonna get scanned by licensecheck. like, they're on the list, they're getting looked at, they're the main characters here πŸ‘‘

  • see "electing or ignoring files to scan" in Dpkg::Copyright::Scanner for the full tea πŸ«–
  • Optional. yes bestie, you can skip it, it won't be mad πŸ₯Ί
  • type: node of class Dpkg::Copyright::ScanPatterns::Lists

ignore πŸ™ˆ

files that match any of these patterns get ignored by licensecheck. not scanned. not perceived. blocked. they simply don't exist to the scanner πŸ’€

  • see "electing or ignoring files to scan" in Dpkg::Copyright::Scanner β€” same reference, same energy 🌈
  • Optional. also skippable, also unbothered ✨
  • type: node of class Dpkg::Copyright::ScanPatterns::Lists
ngl the pattern-matching heavy lifting lives in a whole other class (that ::Lists one, you'll meet it in a sec) β€” this class is just pointing at it. the way that it delegates… we love a collaborative queen 🫢
