NAME

       App::CPANTS::Lint - front-end to Module::CPANTS::Analyse

SYNOPSIS

           use App::CPANTS::Lint;

           my $app = App::CPANTS::Lint->new(verbose => 1);
           $app->lint('path/to/Foo-Dist-1.42.tgz') or print $app->report;

           # if you need raw data
           $app->lint('path/to/Foo-Dist-1.42.tgz') or return $app->result;

           # if you need to look at the details of analysis
           $app->lint('path/to/Foo-Dist-1.42.tgz');
           print Data::Dumper::Dumper($app->stash);

DESCRIPTION

       App::CPANTS::Lint is a core of "cpants_lint.pl" script to check the Kwalitee of a
       distribution. See the script for casual usage. You can also use this from other modules
       for finer control.

METHODS

   new
       Takes an optional hash (which will be passed into Module::CPANTS::Analyse internally) and
       creates a linter object.

       Available options are:

       verbose
           Makes Module::CPANTS::Analyse verbose. False by default.

       core_only
           If true, the "lint" method (see below) returns true even if "extra" metrics (as well
           as "experimental" metrics) fail. This may be useful if you only care Kwalitee
           rankings. False by default.

       experimental
           If true, failed "experimental" metrics are also reported (via "report" method). False
           by default. Note that "experimental" metrics are not taken into account while
           calculating a score.

       save
           If true, "output_report" method writes to a file instead of writing to STDOUT.

       dump, yaml, json
           If true, "report" method returns a formatted dump of the stash (see below).

       search_path
           If you'd like to use extra metrics modules, pass a reference to an array of their
           parent namespace(s) to search. Metrics modules under Module::CPANTS::Kwalitee
           namespace are always used.

   lint
       Takes a path to a distribution tarball and analyses it. Returns true if the distribution
       has no significant issues (experimental metrics are always ignored). Otherwise, returns
       false.

       Note that the result doesn't always match with what is shown at the CPANTS website,
       because there are metrics that are only available at the site for various reasons (some of
       them require database connection, and some are not portable enough).

   report
       Returns a report string that contains the details of failed metrics (even if "lint" method
       returns true) and a Kwalitee score.

       If "dump" (or "yaml", "json") is set when you create an App::CPANTS::Lint object, "report"
       returns a formatted dump of the stash.

   result
       Returns a reference to a hash that contains the details of failed metrics and a Kwalitee
       score. Internal structure may change without notice, but it always has an "ok" field
       (which holds a return value of "lint" method) at least.

   stash
       Returns a reference to a hash that contains the details of analysis (stored in a stash in
       Module::CPANTS::Analyse). Internal structure may change without notice, but it always has
       a "kwalitee" field (which holds a reference to a hash that contains the result of each
       metric) at least.

   score
       Returns a Kwalitee score.

   output_report
       Writes a report to STDOUT (or to a file).

   report_file
       Returns a path to a report file, which should have the same distribution name with a
       version, plus an extension appropriate to the output format. (eg. "Foo-Bar-1.42.txt",
       "Foo-Bar-1.42.yml" etc)
