YAPC::NA 2007 - Customizing And Extending Perl Critic

Customizing and Extending Perl Critic YAPC::NA 2007 Houston, TX Josh McAdams

Extending Perl Critic Perl Critic is a very powerful and customizable system in its off-the-CPAN state; however, there are times when you need to create your own policies to enforce your own coding standards. We will see how to do that by creating a variant of one of the core modules: BuiltinFunctions::RequireBlockGrep . We'll call our policy BuiltinFunctions::RequireBlockGrepAndMap and make it force block map s in addition to grep s.

Extending Perl Critic That's it for coding our module. We could of course add some POD. =pod =head1 NAME Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::RequireBlockGrepAndMap =head1 DESCRIPTION The expression form of C<grep> and C<map> is awkward and hard to read. Use the block forms instead. @matches = grep /pattern/, @list; #not ok @matches = grep { /pattern/ } @list; #ok @mapped = map transform($_), @list; #not ok @mapped = map { transform($_) } @list; #ok =cut

Extending Perl Critic ... and more tests!

Extending Perl Critic - Use Perl::Critic::TestUtils to test your policies - Have your policies subclass Perl::Critic::Policy - Set a default severity for your policies - Set a default tag set for your policies - Configure your policy to apply to specific PPI elements - Create a violates subroutine that does your validation and throws a Perl::Critic::Violation when the policy finds a problem - Use Perl::Critic::Utils to help create your policy - User PPI::Element methods to traverse the PPI DOM In Review
