NAME Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InsertDistFileLink - Insert links to distribution shared files into POD as HTML snippets VERSION This document describes version 0.001 of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InsertDistFileLink (from Perl distribution Dist-Zilla-Plugin-InsertDistFileLink), released on 2023-11-09. SYNOPSIS In share, put some files e.g. foo.xlsx and share/img1.png. In dist.ini: [InsertDistFileLink] ;hosting=metacpan ;include_files=... ;exclude_files=... ;include_file_pattern=... ;exclude_file_pattern=... In lib/Qux.pm or script/quux: ... # FILE: share/foo.xlsx # FILE: share/ ... After build, lib/Foo.pm will contain: ... =begin html <a href="https://st.aticpan.org/source/CPANID/Your-Dist-Name-0.123/share/foo.xlsx" />foo.xlsx</a><br /> =end html =begin html <a href="https://st.aticpan.org/source/CPANID/Your-Dist-Name-0.123/share/images/img1.png">image/img1.png</a><br /> =end html DESCRIPTION This plugin finds "# FILE" directive in your POD/code and replace it with a POD containing HTML snippet to link to the file, using the selected hosting provider's URL scheme. Rationale: sometimes it's convenient to link to the distribution shared files in HTML documentation. In POD there's currently no mechanism to do this. The "#FILE" directive must occur at the beginning of line and must be followed by path to the image (relative to the distribution's root). Shared files deployed inside a tarball (such as one created using Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ShareDir::Tarball) are not yet supported. CONFIGURATION hosting => str (default: metacpan) Choose hosting provider. For available choicese, see Dist::Zilla::Role::GetDistFileURL. include_files => str+ exclude_files => str+ include_file_pattern => re exclude_file_pattern => re HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at <https://metacpan.org/release/Dist-Zilla-Plugin-InsertDistFileLink>.

SEE ALSO AUTHOR perlancar <perlancar@cpan.org> 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, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2023 by perlancar <perlancar@cpan.org>.
