NAME

       App::DocKnot::Update - Update DocKnot input or package configuration

SYNOPSIS

           use App::DocKnot::Update;

           my $update = App::DocKnot::Update->new(
               {
                   metadata => 'docs/metadata',
                   output   => 'docs/docknot.yaml',
               }
           );
           $update->update();

           $update->update_spin('/path/to/spin/input');

REQUIREMENTS

       Perl 5.24 or later and the modules Git::Repository, File::BaseDir, File::ShareDir, JSON::MaybeXS,
       Path::Iterator::Rule, Path::Tiny, Perl6::Slurp, and YAML::XS, all of which are available from CPAN.

DESCRIPTION

       This component of DocKnot updates package configuration from older versions.  Currently, its main purpose
       is to convert from the JSON format used prior to DocKnot 4.0 to the current YAML syntax.

CLASS METHODS

       new(ARGS)
           Create  a  new  App::DocKnot::Update  object.   This should be used for all subsequent actions.  ARGS
           should be a hash reference with one or more of the following keys:

           metadata
               The path to  the  directory  containing  the  legacy  JSON  metadata  for  a  package.   Default:
               docs/metadata relative to the current directory.

           output
               The  path  to  which to write the new YAML configuration.  Default: docs/docknot.yaml relative to
               the current directory.

INSTANCE METHODS

       update()
           Load the legacy JSON metadata and write out the YAML equivalent.

       update_spin([PATH])
           Update the input tree for App::DocKnot::Spin to follow current expectations.  PATH is the path to the
           input tree, which defaults to the current directory if not given.  If the input tree is  the  working
           tree for a Git repository, any changes are also registered with Git (but not committed).
