STATUS
This module is covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy.DESCRIPTION
Dogfooding.This isn't a real Type::Library-based type library; that would involve too much circularity. But it exports some type constraints which, while designed for use within Type::Tiny, may be more generally useful.
Types
- "StringLike"
- Accepts strings and objects overloading stringification.
- "HashLike"
- Accepts hashrefs and objects overloading hashification.
- "ArrayLike"
- Accepts arrayrefs and objects overloading arrayfication.
- "CodeLike"
- Accepts coderefs and objects overloading codification.
- "TypeTiny"
- Accepts blessed Type::Tiny objects.
Coercion Functions
- "to_TypeTiny($constraint)"
-
Promotes (or ``demotes'' if you prefer) a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object
to a Type::Tiny object.
Can also handle Validation::Class objects. Type constraints built from Validation::Class objects deliberately ignore field filters when they do constraint checking (and go to great lengths to do so); using filters for coercion only. (The behaviour of "coerce" if we don't do that is just too weird!)
Can also handle any object providing "check" and "get_message" methods. (This includes Mouse::Meta::TypeConstraint objects.) If the object also provides "has_coercion" and "coerce" methods, these will be used too.
Can also handle coderefs (but not blessed coderefs or objects overloading "&{}"). Coderefs are expected to return true iff $_ passes the constraint. If $_ fails the type constraint, they may either return false, or die with a helpful error message.
Methods
These are implemented so that "Types::TypeTiny->meta->get_type($foo)" works, for rough compatibility with a real Type::Library type library.- "meta"
- "type_names"
- "get_type($name)"
- "has_type($name)"
- "coercion_names"
- "get_coercion($name)"
- "has_coercion($name)"
