MooseX::Types::LoadableClass(3) ClassName type constraint with coercion to load the class.

VERSION

version 0.014

SYNOPSIS


package MyClass;
use Moose;
use MooseX::Types::LoadableClass qw/ LoadableClass /;
has foobar_class => (
is => 'ro',
required => 1,
isa => LoadableClass,
);
MyClass->new(foobar_class => 'FooBar'); # FooBar.pm is loaded or an
# exception is thrown.

DESCRIPTION

    use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;
    my $tc = subtype as ClassName;
    coerce $tc, from Str, via { Class::Load::load_class($_); $_ };

I've written those three lines of code quite a lot of times, in quite a lot of places.

Now I don't have to.

TYPES EXPORTED

LoadableClass
