__END__ =pod =head1 NAME Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Type constraint system for Moose =head1 SYNOPSIS use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints; type 'Num' => where { Scalar::Util::looks_like_number($_) }; subtype 'Natural' => as 'Num' => where { $_ > 0 }; subtype 'NaturalLessThanTen' => as 'Natural' => where { $_ < 10 } => message { "This number ($_) is not less than ten!" }; coerce 'Num' => from 'Str' => via { 0+$_ }; enum 'RGBColors' => qw(red green blue); =head1 DESCRIPTION This module provides Moose with the ability to create custom type contraints to be used in attribute definition. =head2 Important Caveat This is B a type system for Perl 5. These are type constraints, and they are not used by Moose unless you tell it to. No type inference is performed, expression are not typed, etc. etc. etc. This is simply a means of creating small constraint functions which can be used to simplify your own type-checking code. =head2 Slightly Less Important Caveat It is almost always a good idea to quote your type and subtype names. This is to prevent perl from trying to execute the call as an indirect object call. This issue only seems to come up when you have a subtype the same name as a valid class, but when the issue does arise it tends to be quite annoying to debug. So for instance, this: subtype DateTime => as Object => where { $_->isa('DateTime') }; will I, while this: use DateTime; subtype DateTime => as Object => where { $_->isa('DateTime') }; will fail silently and cause many headaches. The simple way to solve this, as well as future proof your subtypes from classes which have yet to have been created yet, is to simply do this: use DateTime; subtype 'DateTime' => as 'Object' => where { $_->isa('DateTime') }; =head2 Default Type Constraints This module also provides a simple hierarchy for Perl 5 types, this could probably use some work, but it works for me at the moment. Any Item Bool Undef Defined Value Num Int Str ClassName Ref ScalarRef ArrayRef HashRef CodeRef RegexpRef GlobRef FileHandle Object Role Suggestions for improvement are welcome. B The C type constraint does not work correctly in every occasion, please use it sparringly. B The C type constraint is simply a subtype of string which responds true to C. This means that your class B be loaded for this type constraint to pass. I know this is not ideal for all, but it is a saner restriction then most others. =head2 Use with Other Constraint Modules This module should play fairly nicely with other constraint modules with only some slight tweaking. The C clause in types is expected to be a C reference which checks it's first argument and returns a bool. Since most constraint modules work in a similar way, it should be simple to adapt them to work with Moose. For instance, this is how you could use it with L to declare a completely new type. type 'HashOfArrayOfObjects' => IsHashRef( -keys => HasLength, -values => IsArrayRef( IsObject )); For more examples see the F test file. Here is an example of using L and it's non-test related C function. type 'ArrayOfHashOfBarsAndRandomNumbers' => where { eq_deeply($_, array_each(subhashof({ bar => isa('Bar'), random_number => ignore() }))) }; For a complete example see the F test file. =head1 FUNCTIONS =head2 Type Constraint Registry =over 4 =item B This function can be used to locate a specific type constraint meta-object. What you do with it from there is up to you :) =item B Given a list of C<@type_constraint_names>, this will return a B instance. =item B This will export all the current type constraints as functions into the caller's namespace. Right now, this is mostly used for testing, but it might prove useful to others. =item B Alias for the above function. =item B This will return a list of type constraint names, you can then fetch them using C if you want to. =item B This will return a list of builtin type constraints, meaning, those which are defined in this module. See the section labeled L for a complete list. =back =head2 Type Constraint Constructors The following functions are used to create type constraints. They will then register the type constraints in a global store where Moose can get to them if it needs to. See the L for an example of how to use these. =over 4 =item B This creates a base type, which has no parent. =item B This creates a named subtype. =item B This creates an unnamed subtype and will return the type constraint meta-object, which will be an instance of L. =item B This will create a basic subtype for a given set of strings. The resulting constraint will be a subtype of C and will match any of the items in C<@values>. See the L for a simple example. B This is not a true proper enum type, it is simple a convient constraint builder. =item B This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax. =item B This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax. =item B This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax. =item B This can be used to define a "hand optimized" version of your type constraint which can be used to avoid traversing a subtype constraint heirarchy. B You should only use this if you know what you are doing, all the built in types use this, so your subtypes (assuming they are shallow) will not likely need to use this. =back =head2 Type Coercion Constructors Type constraints can also contain type coercions as well. If you ask your accessor too coerce, the Moose will run the type-coercion code first, followed by the type constraint check. This feature should be used carefully as it is very powerful and could easily take off a limb if you are not careful. See the L for an example of how to use these. =over 4 =item B =item B This is just sugar for the type coercion construction syntax. =item B This is just sugar for the type coercion construction syntax. =back =head2 Namespace Management =over 4 =item B This will remove all the type constraint keywords from the calling class namespace. =back =head1 BUGS All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no exception.
