| − | <!-- Pod2Wiki=head_description -->=DESCRIPTION=
| |
| − | EPrints has been under development for many years and has some fluff about the place. For new programmers this document is intended as a 'style guide' to at least keep the code and documentation consistent across new modules.

| − | <!-- Pod2Wiki=head_description -->==Description==
| |
| − | Below the license block the name, description and synopsis (a synopsis is an example of usage). Lastly the METHODS title begins the section for inline subroutine documentation.

| − | =head1 NAME
| |
| − | EPrints::MyModule - A one line description of MyModule
| |
| − | =head1 DESCRIPTION
| |
| − | One or two paragraphs explaining the function of EPrints::MyModule.
| |
| − | =head1 SYNOPSIS
| |
| − | use EPrints::MyModule;
| |
| − | my $obj = EPrints::MyModule->new( $opts );
| |
| − | $obj->do_thing( $thingy );

| |
| − | <!-- End of Pod2Wiki -->
| |
| − | <!-- Pod2Wiki=head_methods -->==Methods==
| |
| − | Each public subroutine should have POD documentation above it, with hashes to separate it from the method above. A large module should probably be split into different sections, e.g. "CONSTRUCTOR METHODS", "ACCESSOR METHODS", etc. Private methods can be documented using Perl comments.

| |
| − | =item $objname = EPrints::StyleGuide->my_sub( $arg1, [$opt_arg2], \%opts )
| |
| − | A description of what my_sub does and arguments it takes ($opt_arg2 is
| |
| − | shown as optional by using brackets).
| |
| − | A description of $arg1 if needed, along with an example:
| |
| − | EPrints::StyleGuide->my_sub( "eprintid" );
| |
| − | EPrints::StyleGuide->my_sub(
| |
| − | $arg1,
| |
| − | undef,
| |
| − | {
| |
| − | opt1 => $var1, # What is var1
| |
| − | opt2 => $var2, # What is var2
| |
| − | }
| |
| − | );
| |
| − | Further elaboration on the effect of $var2.
