Mojolic...:plugin(3)

💅 Mojolicious::Command::Author::generate::plugin — the plugin generator command

okay so real talk, bestie, this is the manual page for Mojolicious::Command::Author::generate::plugin (the title up top is all dramatic and truncated like Mojolic...:plugin(3) but we know what it means 🫶). It's filed under User Contributed Perl Documentation and honestly? It's giving "small page, big power". ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Mojolicious::Command::Author::generate::plugin — literally the Plugin generator command. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Here's the whole usage moment, copy it exactly, no cap:

Usage: APPLICATION generate plugin [OPTIONS] [NAME]

  mojo generate plugin
  mojo generate plugin TestPlugin
  mojo generate plugin -f MyApp::Plugin::AwesomeFeature

Options:
  -f, --full   Do not prepend "Mojolicious::Plugin::" to the plugin name
  -h, --help   Show this summary of available options

And in cute bullet form, because your girl loves a list:

• -f, --full — do not prepend "Mojolicious::Plugin::" to the plugin name 💖 (so you get your own full namespace, iconic)
• -h, --help — show this summary of available options 🫶 (the "help me help you" button)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So Mojolicious::Command::Author::generate::plugin generates directory structures for fully functional Mojolicious plugins. Like, it does the scaffolding so you don't have to, and that's a slay. 🏗️💅

It's a core command, which means — and this is the important bit — it is always enabled 😭👑. And its code is a good example for learning to build new commands, so the authors are literally like "you're welcome to fork it." Go off, take it, remix it, main character energy. 🌈

Also, quick pointer: see "COMMANDS" in Mojolicious::Commands for a list of commands that are available by default. Bookmark that fr fr. 🔖
