Distribution::Hash Reference

Distribution::Hash

What it is #

Routines #

Signatures are reproduced from the documentation, including their declared return types. A routine listed here is part of the type's published interface; whether Raku++ implements it is a separate question, answered by the examples below.

method new #

method new($hash, :$prefix)

Creates a new Distribution::Hash instance from the metadata contained in $hash. All paths in the metadata will be prefixed with :$prefix.

method meta #

method meta()

Returns a Hash with the representation of the metadata.

method content #

Please check the content method in Distribution::Locally. Returns an IO::Handle to the file represented by $name-path. $name-path is a relative path as it would be found in the metadata such as lib/Foo.rakumod or resources/foo.txt.

Examples, run three ways #

Every example below comes from the official documentation, together with the output that documentation asserts. Each was then executed by Rakudo and by Raku++ when this page was built. Where the three agree, one result is shown; where they do not, all three are — because which of them is wrong is exactly the information worth having.
