Catalyst::Helper Changes

Hi all --
I'd like to modify what Catalyst::Helper creates when initializing a new
product. I'm wondering if there's a "best practice" for this or if I'm on
my own.

Thanks for any pointers.

k.

Hi Kevin,
Can you explain a little more in depth what you're looking to do?

Sure. Among other things I'd like the myapp.conf file to live in
$root/etc/config and be YAML format. This involves creating the
directories, changing the conf file contents and name, and adding a line to
MyApp.pm. There's more, but I think this is a fairly representative example
of the kind of thing.

There is a plan to allow 'templates' for applications which would
allow you to do this trivially..

This will be coming after the google summer of code has been merged
and released, which it is currently being cleaned up to do do. :)

Further details / thoughts about where people's plans with this go /
how it would work available to anyone arriving in #catalyst-dev for a
chat about it who is prepared to write those thoughts down - however
at the moment we're concentrating on getting the more split-out
application templates live before we do the next stage..

Cheers
t0m

I will quit being a tool and get my shit released. Please, send me any
ideas you have your way with regards to "I want to be able to do this".

Heh. But that's *my* motto.

DA> Please, send me any ideas you have your way with regards to "I want

There's a litany of tweaks I usually make after creating a new catalyst
project. Assuming the project MyApp, these usually include:

mkdir MyApp/{.control,bin,etc}
mkdir MyApp/etc/{conf,DDL,SQL,LDIF}
mkdir MyApp/lib/MyApp/Schema/MyApp/{Result,ResultSet}
mkdir MyApp/lib/HTML/FormFu/Validator/MyApp
mkdir MyApp/root/forms

I generally add content to the MyApp.pm file: ConfigLoader
substitutions, a new ConfigLoader base, some plugins that are almost
always used.

Usually there's a Schema/MyApp.pm file that's standard boilerplate.

There are a couple of files I add to the bin directory so they're kept
with the project.

Also I create a number of .../.template files and populate them with
project-specific templates (for the benefit of emacs).

There's probably more ... that's why I'm looking to automate it.

k.
