NAME

       Module::Starter::Smart - A Module::Starter plugin for adding new modules into an existing distribution

VERSION

       version 0.0.6

SYNOPSIS

           use Module::Starter qw/Module::Starter::Smart/;
           Module::Starter->create_distro(%args);

           # or in ~/.module-starter/config
           plugin: Module::Starter::Smart

           # create a new distribution named 'Foo-Bar'
           $ module-starter --module=Foo::Bar

           # ... then add a new module
           $ module-starter --module=Foo::Bar::Me --distro=Foo-Bar

DESCRIPTION

       Module::Starter::Smart is a simple helper plugin for Module::Starter.  It subclasses
       Module::Starter::Simple and provides its own implementation for several file creation subroutines, such
       as "create_distro", "create_modules", "create_t", and so on.  These new implementations were designed to
       work with existing distributions.

       When invoked, the plugin checks if the distribution is already created.  If so, the plugin would bypass
       "create_basedir") and go ahead pull in all the existing modules and test files; these information would
       be used later in the corresponding file creation subroutines for skipping already-created files.

       UPDATE: This plugin only covers the simplest use cases.  For advanced usage, check out
       Module::Starter::AddModule.

   Example
       Say you have an existing distro, Goof-Ball, and you want to add a new module, Goof::Troop.

           % ls -R Goof-Ball
           Build.PL  Changes   MANIFEST  README    lib/      t/

           Goof-Ball/lib:
           Goof/

           Goof-Ball/lib/Goof:
           Ball.pm

           Goof-Ball/t:
           00.load.t       perlcritic.t    pod-coverage.t  pod.t

       Go to the directory containing your existing distribution and run module-starter, giving it the names of
       the existing distribution and the new module:

           % module-starter --distro=Goof-Ball --module=Goof::Troop
           Created starter directories and files

           % ls -R Goof-Ball
           Build.PL  Changes   MANIFEST  README    lib/      t/

           Goof-Ball/lib:
           Goof/

           Goof-Ball/lib/Goof:
           Ball.pm   Troop.pm

           Goof-Ball/t:
           00.load.t       perlcritic.t    pod-coverage.t  pod.t

       Troop.pm has been added to Goof-Ball/lib/Goof.

INTERFACE

       No public methods.  The module works by subclassing Module::Starter::Simple and rewiring its internal
       behaviors.

DEPENDENCIES

       Module::Starter::Smart subclasses Module::Starter::Simple.

INCOMPATIBILITIES

       The plugin works perfectly with other template plugins, i.e.  Module::Starter::PBP (I started using it to
       develop this module)
