💖 Debian::PkgJS::PackageLock(3pm) 💖

okay bestie come sit with me, we're reading the Debian::PkgJS::PackageLock page together. (The header up top squishes it down to Debian...geLock(3pm) like it's texting with its thumbs, but it's the same girl, promise. 🫶)

✨ NAME ✨

Debian::PkgJS::PackageLock — it's a Perl module, and its whole job, its entire purpose, its main character era, is building pkgjs-lock.json files. That's it. That's the gig. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe in code, no cap:

use Debian::PkgJS::PackageLock;

for my $path (@jsModulePaths) {
    buildPackageLock( $path, "$path/pkgjs-locj.json");
}

use Debian::Debhelper::Dh_Lib;

addsubstvar( $pkg, builtUsing() );

like… literally just use it, loop over your @jsModulePaths, and call buildPackageLock on each one. then pull in Debian::Debhelper::Dh_Lib and hit addsubstvar( $pkg, builtUsing() ). iconic behavior. ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

🎀 EXPORT 🎀

these are the two things it hands out to you, the exports, the lil gifts 🎁:

• buildPackageLock( $path, $dest ) — takes your $path and your $dest, and does the building thing.
• builtUsing() — no args, it just tells you what you built with.
