NAME

Data::Sah::Manual::Extending - Extending Data::Sah

VERSION

This document describes version 0.911 of Data::Sah::Manual::Extending (from Perl distribution Data-Sah), released on 2021-12-01.

DESCRIPTION

This document explains the various ways of extending Data::Sah.

ADDING A NEW CLAUSE

Example: Add an is_palindrome clause to str.

• Create a distribution called Data-Sah-TypeX-str-is_palindrome

• In lib/Data/Sah/TypeX/str/is_palindrome.pm, write:

   package Data::Sah::TypeX::str::is_palindrome;
   use Data::Sah::Util::Compiler qw(add_clause add_translation_path);
  
   add_clause("str", "is_palindrome",
       definition => {
       },
       handlers => {
           perl => sub {
               ...
           },
           js => sub {
               ...
           },
           human => sub {
               ...
           },
       },
   );

• Provide translation of messages

  For example, for Indonesian, in lib/Data/Sah/Lang/id_ID/TypeX/str/is_palindrome.pm write:

   package Data::Sah::Lang::id_ID::TypeX::str::is_palindrome:
   ...

  Add more language files as necessary.

CREATING A NEW TYPE

Example: complex number.

• Create distribution Data-Sah-Type-complex

• In lib/Data/Sah/Type/complex.pm write:

   package Data::Sah::Type::complex;
  
   use Moo::Role;
   use Data::Sah::Util::Role 'has_clause';
   with 'Data::Sah::Type::Comparable';
   with 'Data::Sah::Type::Sortable';
  
   ...
  
   1;

• In lib/Data/Sah/Compiler/perl/TH/complex.pm write:

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
