NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Role::MetaProvider::Provider - A Role for Metadata providers specific to the
       'provider' key.

VERSION

       version 2.002004

PUBLIC METHODS

   "metadata"
       Fulfills the requirement of Dist::Zilla::Role::MetaProvider by processing results returned
       from "$self->provides".

ATTRIBUTES / PARAMETERS

   "inherit_version"
       This dictates how to report versions.

       values

       •   Set to "1" [default] The version defined by Dist::Zilla is the authority, and all
           versions discovered in packages are ignored.

       •   Set to "0" The version defined in the discovered class is the authority, and it is
           copied to the provides metadata.

       ( To use this feature in a performing class, see "_resolve_version" )

   "inherit_missing"
       This dictates how to react when a class is discovered but a version is not specified.

       values

       •   Set to "1" [default] "dist.ini"'s version turns up in the final metadata.

       •   Set to "0".  A "provide" turns up in the final metadata without a version, which is
           permissible.

       ( To use this feature in a performing class, see "_resolve_version" )

   "meta_noindex"
       This dictates how to behave when a discovered class is also present in the "no_index" META
       field.

       values

       •   Set to "0" [default]

           "no_index" META field will be ignored

       •   Set to "1"

           "no_index" META field will be recognised and things found in it will cause respective
           packages to not be provided in the metadata.

PERFORMS ROLES

   MetaProvider
       Dist::Zilla::Role::MetaProvider

REQUIRED METHODS FOR PERFORMING ROLES

   "provides"
       Must return an array full of Dist::Zilla::MetaProvides::ProvideRecord instances.

PRIVATE METHODS

   "_resolve_version"
       This is a utility method to make performing classes life easier in adhering to user
       requirements.

           my $params  = {
               file => $somefile ,
               $self->_resolve_version( $version );
           }

       is the suggested use.

       Returns either an empty list, or a list with "('version', $version )";

       This is so "{ version => undef }" does not occur in the YAML.

   "_try_regen_metadata"
       This is a nasty hack really, to work around the way "Dist::Zilla" handles metaproviders,
       which result in meta-data being inaccessible to metadata Plugins.

         my $meta  = $object->_try_regen_metadata()

       This at present returns metadata provided by  "MetaNoIndex" ( if present ) but will be
       expanded as needed.

       If you have a module you think should be in this list, contact me, or file a bug, I'll do
       my best ☺

   "_apply_meta_noindex"
       This is a utility method to make performing classes life easier in skipping no_index
       entries.

         my @filtered_provides = $self->_apply_meta_noindex( @provides )

       is the suggested use.

       Returns either an empty list, or a list of "ProvideRecord"'s

THANKS

       •   Thanks to David Golden ( xdg / DAGOLDEN ) for the suggestion of the no_index feature
           for compatibility with MetaNoIndex plugin.
