ExtUti...r::Node(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Welcome to the ExtUtils::Builder::Node(3pm) page, bestie — from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, no less. This whole page is about ExtUtils::Builder::Node, which is literally An ExtUtils::Builder Node. 💅

---

🎀 VERSION 🎀

The version is 0.020. That's the vibe. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ExtUtils::Builder::Node->new(
    target       => $target_name,
    dependencies => \@dependencies,
    actions      => \@actions,
);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

A node is the makefile-entry equivalent — it's giving "one little makefile entry, but make it a whole object." 💀 In essence it boils down to its three attributes: target (the name of the target), dependencies (the names of the dependencies) and actions. A Node is a composite action, meaning it can be executed or serialized as a whole. Periodt. 👑

👑 ATTRIBUTES 👑

🎯 target 🎯

The target filename of this node. That's it, that's the whole thing. 🎀

🧵 dependencies 🧵

The (file)names of the dependencies of this node. Keep those names close, bestie. 🫶

⚡ actions ⚡

A list of actions for this node. Go off. 🔥

🏷️ type 🏷️

This must be one of file or phony. In the latter case the target will not be represented on the filesystem. So like, phony is the "not on disk" one — important. 🌈

👻 phony 👻

Deprecated, bestie. 😭

Instead, pass type => 'phony'.

🧚 METHODS 🧚

🔗 mergeable 🔗

This returns true if a node is mergeable, i.e. it's phony and has no actions. So: phony + no actions = mergeable. Slay. ✅
