Rinci::Upgrading(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Rinci::Upgrading(3)

Rinci::Upgrading - Upgrading from previous version of specification

This document describes version 1.1.100 of Rinci::Upgrading (from Perl distribution Rinci), released on 2022-01-23.

This document gives guide on how to convert your metadata from older version.

Examples are written in Perl, but are not limited to this language.

In Perl, you can use Perinci::Sub::Wrapper (which in turn is used by Perinci::Access) to automatically convert Sub::Spec 1.0 metadata to 1.1, so you can skip this document if you want.

Terminology change: (sub) spec is now called metadata: the reason is because there are now metadata for functions as well as other code entities like variables, packages, etc. clause is now called property: the reason is to avoid confusion with Data::Sah's clause.

The "v" (spec version) property is required, add

 v => 1.1

to your function metadata.

Each argument in the "args" property is now a hash, instead of a schema. Move the schema to the "schema" key of the hash. To specify required argument, add "req" set to 1 to hash key. Move "arg_pos" Sah clause to "pos" hash key. Move "arg_greedy" Sah clause to "greedy" hash key. Move "arg_completion" Sah clause to "completion" hash key.

Example, change this:

 args => {
     # a required argument
     arg1 => ['int*', {
         summary => 'Blah ...',
         min => 1, max => 100,
         arg_pos => 0,
     }],

     # an optional argument
     arg2 => ['bool', {
         summary => 'Blah ...',
         default => 0,
     }],
 }

Into this:

 args => {
     arg1 => {
         summary => 'Blah ...',
         schema => ['int*', {min=>1, max=>100}],
         req => 1,
         pos => 0,
     },

     arg2 => {
         summary => 'Blah ...',
         schema => [bool => {default=>0}],
     },
 }

It is now possible to give summary and description to the schema as well as to the argument.

Accordingly, the "result" property is also now a hash, instead of schema. Move the schema into the "schema" hash key.

For the most part, you only need to upgrade client and server library. Client library is now Perinci::CmdLine and Perinci::Access. Server library is now "Perinci::Access::HTTP::Server".

Specification is now Riap and Riap::HTTP. Terminology changes. SS request now becomes Riap request. Some key names changed (shortened). Special headers are now prefixed with X-Riap-* instead of X-SS-Req-*.

Log levels are now numeric only (1-6) instead of numeric/string.

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
