# NAME

TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::File - Stream TAP from a text file.

# VERSION

Version 3.30

# SYNOPSIS

      use TAP::Parser::Source;
      use TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::File;

      my $source = TAP::Parser::Source->new->raw( \'file.tap' );
      $source->assemble_meta;

      my $class = 'TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::File';
      my $vote  = $class->can_handle( $source );
      my $iter  = $class->make_iterator( $source );

# DESCRIPTION

This is a raw TAP stored in a file TAP::Parser::SourceHandler - it has 2 jobs:

1. Figure out if the raw source it's given is a file containing raw TAP output. See TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory for more details.

2. Takes raw TAP from the text file given, and converts into an iterator.

Unless you're writing a plugin or subclassing TAP::Parser, you probably won't need to use this module directly.

# METHODS

## Class Methods

### `can_handle`

      my $vote = $class->can_handle( $source );

Only votes if $source looks like a regular file. Casts the following votes:

      0.9 if it's a .tap file
      0.9 if it has an extension matching any given in user config.

### `make_iterator`

      my $iterator = $class->make_iterator( $source );

Returns a new TAP::Parser::Iterator::Stream for the source. `croak`s on error.

### `iterator_class`

The class of iterator to use, override if you're sub-classing. Defaults to TAP::Parser::Iterator::Stream.

# CONFIGURATION

      {
       extensions => [ @case_insensitive_exts_to_match ]
      }
