Metaba...stfile(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Metabase::Resource::cpan::distfile — it's a class for Metabase resources, bestie 💖

(also, hi, this is a 3pm page — that's the User Contributed Perl Documentation zone, so you already know we're in perl-core-adjacent territory 👑)

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.025 — yes, that's the one, no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so this is literally the whole vibe in four lines:

my $resource = Metabase::Resource->new(
  'cpan:///distfile/RJBS/Metabase-Fact-0.001.tar.gz',
);

my $resource_meta = $resource->metadata;
my $typemap       = $resource->metadata_types;

like. that's it. that's the whole thing. you make the resource, you grab the metadata, you grab the metadata_types, and you go live your life 🫶

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what does this actually DO? it generates resource metadata for resources of the scheme 'cpan:///distfile'. that's the whole job. it's giving very focused, very specialist. main character energy but make it a URI scheme 🎀

here's another example so you can see the shape of the thing:

my $resource = Metabase::Resource->new(
  'cpan:///distfile/RJBS/URI-cpan-1.000.tar.gz',
);

and for that example up there?? the resource metadata structure would contain these exact elements, no notes, no extras:

scheme       => cpan
type         => distfile
dist_file    => RJBS/URI-cpan-1.000.tar.gz
cpan_id      => RJBS
dist_name    => URI-cpan
dist_version => 1.000

see how it just. cracked the path open and pulled out every piece?? scheme, type, then dist_file keeps the whole RJBS/URI-cpan-1.000.tar.gz bit, and then cpan_id, dist_name and dist_version get sliced out of it. it's literally parsing for you so you don't have to. we love a delegation moment ⭐
