💖 Dist::Z...ssembler(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual for Dist::Zilla::MVP::Assembler 🎀 (the header up top calls it Dist::Z...ssembler(3) but you and me both know what it really is ✨)

✨ NAME ✨

Dist::Zilla::MVP::Assembler — it's the Dist::Zilla-specific subclass of Config::MVP::Assembler, no cap 👑

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 6.040 — that's the one, that's the vibe 🦋

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so listen up, because this next bit is serious, fr fr. If you don't already understand how Config::MVP works? Reading about how the Dist::Zilla-specific Assembler works is going to be useless to you. Like, genuinely not useful at all 😭. Go learn Config::MVP first, then come back, okay?

So, the tea ☕: Dist::Zilla::MVP::Assembler extends Config::MVP::Assembler, and it composes Config::MVP::Assembler::WithBundles. That's for potential plugin bundles — aka the things that compose Dist::Zilla::Role::PluginBundle 🫶

The Assembler has chrome, which means it can log 📝, and it will (eventually) be able to get input from the user. Soon™ energy, iykyk.

The Assembler's expand_package method delegates to Dist::Zilla::Util's expand_config_package_name method. Delegation, iconic behavior, periodt 💅

⚠️ And here's the part where it gets spicy: the Assembler will throw an exception if it is instructed to add a value for plugin_name or zilla. Do not try it. It's giving firm boundaries 💀

🐚 PERL VERSION 🐚

This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. Which means: any version of perl released in the last two to three years, bestie. So if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38 ✨

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. So don't come for her about the floor, she's allowed to move it 🌈
