NAME

       Test2::Plugin - Documentation for plugins

DESCRIPTION

       Plugins are packages that cause behavior changes, or other side effects for the test file that loads
       them. They should not export any functions, or provide any tools. Plugins should be distinct units of
       functionality.

       If you wish to combine behavior changes with tools then you should write a Plugin, a Tools module, and a
       bundle that loads them both.

FAQ

       Should I subclass Test2::Plugin?
           No.  Currently  this  class is empty. Eventually we may want to add behavior, in which case we do not
           want anyone to already be subclassing it.

HOW DO I WRITE A PLUGIN?

       Writing a plugin is not as simple as writing an Test2::Bundle, or  writing  Test2::Tools.  Plugins  alter
       behavior,  or  cause  desirable  side-effects.  To accomplish this you typically need a custom "import()"
       method that calls one or more functions provided by the Test2::API package.

       If you want to write a plugin you should look  at  existing  plugins,  as  well  as  the  Test2::API  and
       Test2::Hub documentation. There is no formula for a Plugin, they are generally unique, however consistent
       rules are that they should not load other plugins, or export any functions.
