NAME

       Exporter::Tiny::Manual::QuickStart - the quickest way to get up and running with
       Exporter::Tiny

SYNOPSIS

          package MyUtils;

          use Exporter::Shiny qw( frobnicate );

          sub frobnicate {
             ...;   # your code here
          }

          1;

       Now people can use your module like this:

          use MyUtils "frobnicate";

          frobnicate(42);

       Or like this:

          use MyUtils "frobnicate" => { -as => "frob" };

          frob(42);

DESCRIPTION

       See the synopsis. Yes, it's that simple.

   Next steps
       Default exports

       Note that the module in the synopsis doesn't export anything by default.  If people load
       "MyUtils" like this:

          use MyUtils;

       Then they haven't imported any functions. You can specify a default set of functions to be
       exported like this:

          package MyUtils;

          use Exporter::Shiny qw( frobnicate );

          our @EXPORT = qw( frobnicate );

          sub frobnicate { ... }

          1;

       Or, if you want to be a superstar rock god:

          package MyUtils;

          use Exporter::Shiny our @EXPORT = qw( frobnicate );

          sub frobnicate { ... }

          1;

       Tags

       You can provide tags for people to use:

          package MyUtils;

          use Exporter::Shiny qw( frobnicate red green blue );

          our %EXPORT_TAGS = (
             utils   => [qw/ frobnicate /],
             colours => [qw/ red green blue /],
          );

          sub frobnicate { ... }
          sub red        { ... }
          sub green      { ... }
          sub blue       { ... }

          1;

       And people can now import your functions like this:

          use MyUtils ":colours";

       Or this:

          use MyUtils "-colours";

       Or take advantage of the fact that Perl magically quotes barewords preceded by a hyphen:

          use MyUtils -colours;

       Two tags are automatically defined for you: "-default" (which is just the same as @EXPORT)
       and "-all" (which is the union of @EXPORT and @EXPORT_OK). If you don't like them, then
       you can override them:

          our %EXPORT_TAGS = (
             default => \@some_other_stuff,
             all     => \@more_stuff,
          );

       Generators

       Exporting normally just works by copying a sub from your package into your caller's
       package. But sometimes it's useful instead to generate a custom sub to insert into your
       caller's package. This is pretty easy to do.

          package MyUtils;

          use Exporter::Shiny qw( frobnicate );

          sub _generate_frobnicate {
             my $me     = shift;
             my $caller = caller;
             my ($name, $args) = @_;

             return sub {
                 ...;  # your code here
             };
          }

          1;

       The parameter $me here is a string containing the package name which is being imported
       from; $caller is the destination package; $name is the name of the sub (in this case
       "frobnicate"); and $args is a hashref of custom arguments for this function.

          # The hashref { foo => 42 } is $args above.
          #
          use MyUtils "frobnicate" => { foo => 42 };

   Avoiding Exporter::Shiny
       Exporter::Shiny is a tiny shim around Exporter::Tiny. It should mostly do what you want,
       but you may sometimes prefer to use Exporter::Tiny directly.

       The example in the synopsis could have been written as:

          package MyUtils;

          use parent "Exporter::Tiny";
          our @EXPORT_OK = qw( frobnicate );

          sub frobnicate {
             ...;   # your code here
          }

          1;

       What Exporter::Shiny does is mostly just to set @EXPORT_OK for you and set up inheritance
       from the base class (Exporter::Tiny).

       Exporter::Shiny also sets $INC{'MyUtils.pm} for you, which in usually makes little
       difference, but is useful in some edge cases.
