SYNOPSIS

    In your plugin's preamble, include the role:

     with 'Dist::Zilla::Role::RequireFromBuild';

    Then in your plugin subroutine, e.g. munge_files():

     $self->require_from_build("Foo/Bar.pm");
     $self->require_from_build("Baz::Quux");

DESCRIPTION

    Since build files are not necessarily on-disk files, but might also be
    in-memory files or files with munged content, we cannot use require()
    directly. require_from_build() is like Perl's require() except it looks
    for files not from @INC but from build files $self->zilla->files. It
    searches libraries in lib/ and ..

    $self->require_from_build("Foo/Bar.pm") or
    $self->require_from_build("Foo::Bar") is a convenient shortcut for
    something like:

     my @files = grep { $_->name eq "lib/Foo/Bar.pm" } @{ $self->zilla->files };
     @files    = grep { $_->name eq "Foo/Bar.pm" }     @{ $self->zilla->files } unless @files;
     die "Can't find Foo/Bar.pm in lib/ or ./ in build files" unless @files;
    
     eval $files[0]->encoded_content;
     die if $@;

METHODS

 $obj->require_from_build($file)
