# META6
Do things with Raku [META files](http://design.raku.org/S22.html#META6.json)
[](https://github.com/jonathanstowe/META6/actions/workflows/main.yml)
## Synopsis
The below will generate the *META6.json* for this module.
```
use META6;
my $m = META6.new( name => 'META6',
version => Version.new('0.0.1'),
auth => 'github:jonathanstowe',
api => '1.0',
description => 'Work with Raku META files',
raku-version => Version.new('6.*'),
depends => ['JSON::Class:ver<0.0.15+>', 'JSON::Name' ],
test-depends => ,
tags => ,
authors => ['Jonathan Stowe '],
source-url => 'https://github.com/jonathanstowe/META6.git',
support => META6::Support.new(
source => 'https://github.com/jonathanstowe/META6.git'
),
provides => {
META6 => 'lib/META6.pm',
},
license => 'Artistic',
production => False,
meta-version => 1,
);
print $m.to-json;
my $m = META6.new(file => './META6.json');
$m = v0.0.2, 'Work with Raku META files even better';
say 'Modules in the distribution: ' ~ $m.keys.join(', ');
spurt('./META6.json', $m.to-json);
```
## Description
This provides a representation of the Raku [META
files](http://design.raku.org/S22.html#META6.json) specification -
the META file data can be read, created , parsed and written in a manner
that is conformant with the specification.
Where they are known about it also makes allowance for "customary"
usage in existing software (such as installers and so forth.)
The intent of this is allow the generation and testing of META files for
module authors, so it can provide meta-information whether the attributes
are mandatory as per the spec and where known the places that "customary"
attributes are used,
### to-json
See [JSON::Fast to-json()](https://github.com/timo/json_fast#to-json) for options. `sorted-keys`
is recommended if you intend to modify the same file multiple times.
## Installation
Assuming you have a working Rakudo installation you should be able to install this with *zef* :
# From the source directory
zef install .
# Remote installation
zef install META6
## Support
Suggestions/patches are welcomed via [github](https://github.com/jonathanstowe/META6)
I'm particulary interested in knowing about "customary" (i.e. non-spec)
fields that are being used in the wild and in what software so I can
add them if necessary.
## Licence
This free software.
