a15dff8d 838=head1 DESCRIPTION
839
e85d2a5d 840This module provides Moose with the ability to create custom type
6549b0d1 841constraints to be used in attribute definition.
e522431d 842
6ba6d68c 843=head2 Important Caveat
844
e85d2a5d 845This is B<NOT> a type system for Perl 5. These are type constraints,
846and they are not used by Moose unless you tell it to. No type
e7fcb7b2 847inference is performed, expressions are not typed, etc. etc. etc.
6ba6d68c 848
e7fcb7b2 849A type constraint is at heart a small "check if a value is valid"
850function. A constraint can be associated with an attribute. This
851simplifies parameter validation, and makes your code clearer to read,
852because you can refer to constraints by name.
6ba6d68c 853
2c0cbef7 854=head2 Slightly Less Important Caveat
855
e7fcb7b2 856It is B<always> a good idea to quote your type names.
004222dc 857
e7fcb7b2 858This prevents Perl from trying to execute the call as an indirect
859object call. This can be an issue when you have a subtype with the
860same name as a valid class.
2c0cbef7 861
e7fcb7b2 862For instance:
e85d2a5d 863
2c0cbef7 864 subtype DateTime => as Object => where { $_->isa('DateTime') };
865
e7fcb7b2 866will I<just work>, while this:
2c0cbef7 867
868 use DateTime;
869 subtype DateTime => as Object => where { $_->isa('DateTime') };
870
e85d2a5d 871will fail silently and cause many headaches. The simple way to solve
872this, as well as future proof your subtypes from classes which have
e7fcb7b2 873yet to have been created, is to quote the type name:
2c0cbef7 874
875 use DateTime;
d44714be 876 subtype 'DateTime' => as 'Object' => where { $_->isa('DateTime') };
2c0cbef7 877
6ba6d68c 878=head2 Default Type Constraints
e522431d 879
e606ae5f 880This module also provides a simple hierarchy for Perl 5 types, here is
004222dc 881that hierarchy represented visually.
e522431d 882
883 Any
e85d2a5d 884 Item
5a4c5493 885 Bool
7e4e1ad4 886 Maybe[`a]
f65cb534 887 Undef
888 Defined
5a4c5493 889 Value
5a4c5493 890 Str
f1bbe1e1 891 Num
892 Int
fcb5b0cd 893 ClassName
894 RoleName
5a4c5493 895 Ref
896 ScalarRef
7e4e1ad4 897 ArrayRef[`a]
898 HashRef[`a]
5a4c5493 899 CodeRef
900 RegexpRef
3f7376b0 901 GlobRef
fcb5b0cd 902 FileHandle
e85d2a5d 903 Object
e522431d 904
4ab662d6 905B<NOTE:> Any type followed by a type parameter C<[`a]> can be
7e4e1ad4 906parameterized, this means you can say:
907
757e07ef 908 ArrayRef[Int] # an array of integers
7e4e1ad4 909 HashRef[CodeRef] # a hash of str to CODE ref mappings
910 Maybe[Str] # value may be a string, may be undefined
911
4e8a0f64 912If Moose finds a name in brackets that it does not recognize as an
913existing type, it assumes that this is a class name, for example
914C<ArrayRef[DateTime]>.
915
e7fcb7b2 916B<NOTE:> Unless you parameterize a type, then it is invalid to include
917the square brackets. I.e. C<ArrayRef[]> will be treated as a new type
918name, I<not> as a parameterization of C<ArrayRef>.
e606ae5f 919
4ab662d6 920B<NOTE:> The C<Undef> type constraint for the most part works
921correctly now, but edge cases may still exist, please use it
6549b0d1 922sparingly.
703e92fb 923
7e4e1ad4 924B<NOTE:> The C<ClassName> type constraint does a complex package
e7fcb7b2 925existence check. This means that your class B<must> be loaded for this
926type constraint to pass.
9af1d28b 927
e7fcb7b2 928B<NOTE:> The C<RoleName> constraint checks a string is a I<package
4831e2de 929name> which is a role, like C<'MyApp::Role::Comparable'>.
ed87d4fd 930
e606ae5f 931=head2 Type Constraint Naming
004222dc 932
eee1a213 933Type name declared via this module can only contain alphanumeric
934characters, colons (:), and periods (.).
935
e606ae5f 936Since the types created by this module are global, it is suggested
937that you namespace your types just as you would namespace your
e7fcb7b2 938modules. So instead of creating a I<Color> type for your
939B<My::Graphics> module, you would call the type
940I<My::Graphics::Types::Color> instead.
004222dc 941
703e92fb 942=head2 Use with Other Constraint Modules
943
e7fcb7b2 944This module can play nicely with other constraint modules with some
945slight tweaking. The C<where> clause in types is expected to be a
946C<CODE> reference which checks it's first argument and returns a
947boolean. Since most constraint modules work in a similar way, it
948should be simple to adapt them to work with Moose.
703e92fb 949
e85d2a5d 950For instance, this is how you could use it with
951L<Declare::Constraints::Simple> to declare a completely new type.
703e92fb 952
9e856c83 953 type 'HashOfArrayOfObjects',
954 {
955 where => IsHashRef(
703e92fb 956 -keys => HasLength,
9e856c83 957 -values => IsArrayRef(IsObject)
958 )
959 };
703e92fb 960
e7fcb7b2 961For more examples see the F<t/200_examples/004_example_w_DCS.t> test

980
981=head2 Type Constraint Constructors
982
e7fcb7b2 983The following functions are used to create type constraints. They
984will also register the type constraints your create in a global
985registry that is used to look types up by name.
a15dff8d 986
25f2c3fc 987See the L<SYNOPSIS> for an example of how to use these.
a15dff8d 988
6ba6d68c 989=over 4
a15dff8d 990
fbe1e4a5 991=item B<< subtype 'Name' => as 'Parent' => where { } ... >>
182134e8 992
e85d2a5d 993This creates a named subtype.
d6e2d9a1 994
dba9208a 995If you provide a parent that Moose does not recognize, it will
996automatically create a new class type constraint for this name.
997
9e856c83 998When creating a named type, the C<subtype> function should either be
999called with the sugar helpers (C<where>, C<message>, etc), or with a
1000name and a hashref of parameters:
1001
1002 subtype( 'Foo', { where => ..., message => ... } );
1003
1004The valid hashref keys are C<as> (the parent), C<where>, C<message>,
1005and C<optimize_as>.
9a63faba 1006
fbe1e4a5 1007=item B<< subtype as 'Parent' => where { } ... >>
182134e8 1008
e85d2a5d 1009This creates an unnamed subtype and will return the type
1010constraint meta-object, which will be an instance of
1011L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>.
a15dff8d 1012
9e856c83 1013When creating an anonymous type, the C<subtype> function should either
1014be called with the sugar helpers (C<where>, C<message>, etc), or with
1015just a hashref of parameters:
1016
1017 subtype( { where => ..., message => ... } );
1018
620db045 1019=item B<class_type ($class, ?$options)>
3fef8ce8 1020
ed87d4fd 1021Creates a new subtype of C<Object> with the name C<$class> and the
1022metaclass L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class>.
3fef8ce8 1023
620db045 1024=item B<role_type ($role, ?$options)>
1025
ed87d4fd 1026Creates a C<Role> type constraint with the name C<$role> and the
1027metaclass L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role>.
620db045 1028
1b2c9bda 1029=item B<maybe_type ($type)>
1030
1031Creates a type constraint for either C<undef> or something of the
1032given type.
1033
bce5d4a5 1034=item B<duck_type ($name, \@methods)>
e451e855 1035
88b68372 1036This will create a subtype of Object and test to make sure the value
bce5d4a5 1037C<can()> do the methods in C<\@methods>.
88b68372 1038
1039This is intended as an easy way to accept non-Moose objects that
1040provide a certain interface. If you're using Moose classes, we
1041recommend that you use a C<requires>-only Role instead.
e451e855 1042
1043=item B<duck_type (\@methods)>
1044
bce5d4a5 1045If passed an ARRAY reference as the only parameter instead of the
1046C<$name>, C<\@methods> pair, this will create an unnamed duck type.
1047This can be used in an attribute definition like so:
e451e855 1048
88b68372 1049 has 'cache' => (
1050 is => 'ro',
1051 isa => duck_type( [qw( get_set )] ),
1052 );
e451e855 1053
bce5d4a5 1054=item B<enum ($name, \@values)>
fcec2383 1055
e85d2a5d 1056This will create a basic subtype for a given set of strings.
1057The resulting constraint will be a subtype of C<Str> and
bce5d4a5 1058will match any of the items in C<\@values>. It is case sensitive.
4ce56d04 1059See the L<SYNOPSIS> for a simple example.
2c0cbef7 1060
6549b0d1 1061B<NOTE:> This is not a true proper enum type, it is simply
1062a convenient constraint builder.
2c0cbef7 1063
9f4334a1 1064=item B<enum (\@values)>
1065
bce5d4a5 1066If passed an ARRAY reference as the only parameter instead of the
1067C<$name>, C<\@values> pair, this will create an unnamed enum. This
1068can then be used in an attribute definition like so:
9f4334a1 1069
1070 has 'sort_order' => (
1071 is => 'ro',
4ab662d6 1072 isa => enum([qw[ ascending descending ]]),
9f4334a1 1073 );
1074
e7fcb7b2 1075=item B<as 'Parent'>
a15dff8d 1076
6ba6d68c 1077This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax.
a15dff8d 1078
e7fcb7b2 1079It takes a single argument, which is the name of a parent type.
1080
1081=item B<where { ... }>
a15dff8d 1082
6ba6d68c 1083This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax.
76d37e5a 1084
e7fcb7b2 1085It takes a subroutine reference as an argument. When the type
1086constraint is tested, the reference is run with the value to be tested
1087in C<$_>. This reference should return true or false to indicate
1088whether or not the constraint check passed.
e606ae5f 1089
e7fcb7b2 1090=item B<message { ... }>
76d37e5a 1091
1092This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax.
a15dff8d 1093
e7fcb7b2 1094It takes a subroutine reference as an argument. When the type
1095constraint fails, then the code block is run with the value provided
1096in C<$_>. This reference should return a string, which will be used in
1097the text of the exception thrown.
e606ae5f 1098
e7fcb7b2 1099=item B<optimize_as { ... }>
8ecb1fa0 1100
e85d2a5d 1101This can be used to define a "hand optimized" version of your
d44714be 1102type constraint which can be used to avoid traversing a subtype
6549b0d1 1103constraint hierarchy.
d44714be 1104
e85d2a5d 1105B<NOTE:> You should only use this if you know what you are doing,
1106all the built in types use this, so your subtypes (assuming they
d44714be 1107are shallow) will not likely need to use this.
1108
78d0edd7 1109=item B<< type 'Name' => where { } ... >>
e7fcb7b2 1110
1111This creates a base type, which has no parent.
1112
1113The C<type> function should either be called with the sugar helpers
1114(C<where>, C<message>, etc), or with a name and a hashref of
1115parameters:
1116
1117 type( 'Foo', { where => ..., message => ... } );
1118
1119The valid hashref keys are C<where>, C<message>, and C<optimize_as>.

1126
1127=item B<< match_on_type $value => ( $type => \&action, ... ?\&default ) >>
1128
1a15f4a8 1129This is a utility function for doing simple type based dispatching similar to
1130match/case in O'Caml and case/of in Haskell. It is not as featureful as those
1131languages, nor does not it support any kind of automatic destructuring
1132bind. Here is a simple Perl pretty printer dispatching over the core Moose
1133types.
0d29b772 1134
1135 sub ppprint {
1136 my $x = shift;
1a15f4a8 1137 match_on_type $x => (
1138 HashRef => sub {
0d29b772 1139 my $hash = shift;
1a15f4a8 1140 '{ '
1141 . (
1142 join ", " => map { $_ . ' => ' . ppprint( $hash->{$_} ) }
1143 sort keys %$hash
1144 ) . ' }';
1145 },
1146 ArrayRef => sub {
0d29b772 1147 my $array = shift;
1a15f4a8 1148 '[ ' . ( join ", " => map { ppprint($_) } @$array ) . ' ]';
1149 },
1150 CodeRef => sub {'sub { ... }'},
1151 RegexpRef => sub { 'qr/' . $_ . '/' },
1152 GlobRef => sub { '*' . B::svref_2object($_)->NAME },
0d29b772 1153 Object => sub { $_->can('to_string') ? $_->to_string : $_ },
1a15f4a8 1154 ScalarRef => sub { '\\' . ppprint( ${$_} ) },
1155 Num => sub {$_},
1156 Str => sub { '"' . $_ . '"' },
1157 Undef => sub {'undef'},
1158 => sub { die "I don't know what $_ is" }
1159 );
0d29b772 1160 }
1161
e7597637 1162Or a simple JSON serializer:
1163
1164 sub to_json {
1165 my $x = shift;
1a15f4a8 1166 match_on_type $x => (
1167 HashRef => sub {
e7597637 1168 my $hash = shift;
1a15f4a8 1169 '{ '
1170 . (
1171 join ", " =>
1172 map { '"' . $_ . '" : ' . to_json( $hash->{$_} ) }
1173 sort keys %$hash
1174 ) . ' }';
1175 },
1176 ArrayRef => sub {
e7597637 1177 my $array = shift;
1a15f4a8 1178 '[ ' . ( join ", " => map { to_json($_) } @$array ) . ' ]';
1179 },
1180 Num => sub {$_},
1181 Str => sub { '"' . $_ . '"' },
1182 Undef => sub {'null'},
1183 => sub { die "$_ is not acceptable json type" }
1184 );
e7597637 1185 }
1186
1a15f4a8 1187The matcher is done by mapping a C<$type> to an C<\&action>. The C<$type> can
1188be either a string type or a L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object, and
1189C<\&action> is a subroutine reference. This function will dispatch on the
1190first match for C<$value>. It is possible to have a catch-all by providing an
1191additional subroutine reference as the final argument to C<match_on_type>.

1194
6ba6d68c 1195=head2 Type Coercion Constructors
a15dff8d 1196
e7fcb7b2 1197You can define coercions for type constraints, which allow you to
1198automatically transform values to something valid for the type
1199constraint. If you ask your accessor to coerce, then Moose will run
1200the type-coercion code first, followed by the type constraint
1201check. This feature should be used carefully as it is very powerful
1202and could easily take off a limb if you are not careful.
a15dff8d 1203
25f2c3fc 1204See the L<SYNOPSIS> for an example of how to use these.
a15dff8d 1205

a15dff8d 1207
e7fcb7b2 1208=item B<< coerce 'Name' => from 'OtherName' => via { ... } >>
a15dff8d 1209
e7fcb7b2 1210This defines a coercion from one type to another. The C<Name> argument
1211is the type you are coercing I<to>.
1212
1213=item B<from 'OtherName'>
a15dff8d 1214
6ba6d68c 1215This is just sugar for the type coercion construction syntax.
1216
e7fcb7b2 1217It takes a single type name (or type object), which is the type being
1218coerced I<from>.
1219
1220=item B<via { ... }>
a15dff8d 1221
6ba6d68c 1222This is just sugar for the type coercion construction syntax.
a15dff8d 1223
e7fcb7b2 1224It takes a subroutine reference. This reference will be called with
1225the value to be coerced in C<$_>. It is expected to return a new value
1226of the proper type for the coercion.

e7fcb7b2 1230=head2 Creating and Finding Type Constraints
1231
1232These are additional functions for creating and finding type
1233constraints. Most of these functions are not available for

1241object for a named type.
eb4c4e82 1242
e7fcb7b2 1243This function is importable.
004222dc 1244
e7fcb7b2 1245=item B<register_type_constraint($type_object)>
004222dc 1246

e7fcb7b2 1252=item B<normalize_type_constraint_name($type_constraint_name)>
004222dc 1253
e7fcb7b2 1254This method takes a type constraint name and returns the normalized
1255form. This removes any whitespace in the string.
004222dc 1256
e7fcb7b2 1257=item B<create_type_constraint_union($pipe_separated_types | @type_constraint_names)>
004222dc 1258
e7fcb7b2 1259This can take a union type specification like C<'Int|ArrayRef[Int]'>,
1260or a list of names. It returns a new
1261L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union> object.
004222dc 1262
e7fcb7b2 1263=item B<create_parameterized_type_constraint($type_name)>
620db045 1264
e7fcb7b2 1265Given a C<$type_name> in the form of C<'BaseType[ContainerType]'>,
1266this will create a new L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized>
1267object. The C<BaseType> must exist already exist as a parameterizable
1268type.
620db045 1269
e7fcb7b2 1270=item B<create_class_type_constraint($class, $options)>
dabed765 1271
e7fcb7b2 1272Given a class name this function will create a new
1273L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class> object for that class name.
004222dc 1274
e7fcb7b2 1275The C<$options> is a hash reference that will be passed to the
1276L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class> constructor (as a hash).
620db045 1277
e7fcb7b2 1278=item B<create_role_type_constraint($role, $options)>
620db045 1279
e7fcb7b2 1280Given a role name this function will create a new
1281L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role> object for that role name.
620db045 1282
e7fcb7b2 1283The C<$options> is a hash reference that will be passed to the
1284L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role> constructor (as a hash).
620db045 1285
8a6c8c47 1286=item B<create_enum_type_constraint($name, $values)>
1287
1288Given a enum name this function will create a new
1289L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Enum> object for that enum name.
1290
0a6bff54 1291=item B<create_duck_type_constraint($name, $methods)>
1292
1293Given a duck type name this function will create a new
1294L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType> object for that enum name.
1295
e7fcb7b2 1296=item B<find_or_parse_type_constraint($type_name)>
620db045 1297
ec4b72d2 1298Given a type name, this first attempts to find a matching constraint
e7fcb7b2 1299in the global registry.
620db045 1300
e7fcb7b2 1301If the type name is a union or parameterized type, it will create a
1302new object of the appropriate, but if given a "regular" type that does
1303not yet exist, it simply returns false.
620db045 1304
e7fcb7b2 1305When given a union or parameterized type, the member or base type must
1306already exist.
620db045 1307
e7fcb7b2 1308If it creates a new union or parameterized type, it will add it to the
1309global registry.

e7fcb7b2 1311=item B<find_or_create_isa_type_constraint($type_name)>
004222dc 1312
e7fcb7b2 1313=item B<find_or_create_does_type_constraint($type_name)>
004222dc 1314
e7fcb7b2 1315These functions will first call C<find_or_parse_type_constraint>. If
1316that function does not return a type, a new anonymous type object will
1317be created.
004222dc 1318
e7fcb7b2 1319The C<isa> variant will use C<create_class_type_constraint> and the
1320C<does> variant will use C<create_role_type_constraint>.
004222dc 1321
1322=item B<get_type_constraint_registry>

e7fcb7b2 1324Returns the L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry> object which
004222dc 1325keeps track of all type constraints.
1326
1327=item B<list_all_type_constraints>
1328
e7fcb7b2 1329This will return a list of type constraint names in the global
1330registry. You can then fetch the actual type object using
1331C<find_type_constraint($type_name)>.
004222dc 1332
1333=item B<list_all_builtin_type_constraints>
1334
e7fcb7b2 1335This will return a list of builtin type constraints, meaning those
1336which are defined in this module. See the L<Default Type Constraints>
1337section for a complete list.
004222dc 1338
1339=item B<export_type_constraints_as_functions>
1340
e7fcb7b2 1341This will export all the current type constraints as functions into
1342the caller's namespace (C<Int()>, C<Str()>, etc). Right now, this is
1343mostly used for testing, but it might prove useful to others.
004222dc 1344
1345=item B<get_all_parameterizable_types>
1346
e7fcb7b2 1347This returns all the parameterizable types that have been registered,
