💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This is a core command, which means it is always enabled, and its code is a good example for learning to build new commands. You're welcome to fork it — periodt. 💅

See "COMMANDS" in Mojolicious::Commands for a list of commands that are available by default.

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

Mojolicious::Command::Author::generate::app inherits all attributes from Mojolicious::Command and implements the following new ones. So you get the base attributes plus these two cuties: 💖

description

my $description = $app->description;
$app            = $app->description('Foo');

A short description of this command, used for the command list. Basically the lil one-liner that shows up when the commands are listed. ✨

usage

my $usage = $app->usage;
$app      = $app->usage('Foo');

Usage information for this command, used for the help screen. It's the "how do I use this" text that pops up in help. 🫶

🦋 METHODS 🦋

Mojolicious::Command::Author::generate::app inherits all methods from Mojolicious::Command and implements the following new ones. Main character method incoming: 👑

run

$app->run(@ARGV);

Run this command. That's it — that's the method. It runs the command. 💅
