Dir::Manifest

version 0.0.5

use Dir::Manifest ();

my $obj = Dir::Manifest->new(
    {
        manifest_fn => "./t/data/texts/list.txt",
        dir         => "./t/data/texts/texts",
    }
);

# TEST
is (
    scalar(`my-process ...`),
    $obj->text("my-process-output1", {lf => 1,}),
    "Good output of my-process.",
);

Here is the primary use case: you have several long texts (and/or binary blobs) that you wish to load from the code (e.g: for the "want"/expected values of tests) and you wish to conventiently edit them, track them and maintain them. Using Dir::Manifest you can put each in a separate file in a directory, create a manifest file listing all valid filenames/key and then say something like my $text = $dir->text("deal24solution.txt", {lf => 1}). And hopefully it will be done securely and reliably.

Dir::Manifest - treat a directory and a manifest file as a hash/dictionary of keys to texts or blobs

version 0.0.5

The path to the manifest file.

The path to the directory containing the texts and blobs as files.

Returns a sorted array reference containing the available keys as strings.

Returns the Dir::Manifest::Key object associated with the string $key. Throws an error if $key was not given in the manifest.

Slurps the key using Dir::Manifest::Slurp

Returns a hash reference (a dictionary) containing all keys and their slurped contents as values. 'slurp_opts' is passed to text().
