=head1 NAME

Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Type constraint system for Moose

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;

  subtype 'Natural'
      => as 'Int'
      => 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);

  no Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides Moose with the ability to create custom type
constraints to be used in attribute definition.

=head2 Important Caveat

This is B<NOT> 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, expressions are not typed, etc. etc. etc.

A type constraint is at heart a small "check if a value is valid"
function. A constraint can be associated with an attribute. This
simplifies parameter validation, and makes your code clearer to read,
because you can refer to constraints by name.

=head2 Slightly Less Important Caveat

It is B<always> a good idea to quote your type names.

This prevents Perl from trying to execute the call as an indirect
object call. This can be an issue when you have a subtype with the
same name as a valid class.

For instance:

  subtype DateTime => as Object => where { $_->isa('DateTime') };

will I<just work>, 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, is to quote the type name:

  use DateTime;
  subtype 'DateTime' => as 'Object' => where { $_->isa('DateTime') };

=head2 Default Type Constraints

This module also provides a simple hierarchy for Perl 5 types, here is
that hierarchy represented visually.

  Any
  Item
      Bool
      Maybe[`a]
      Undef
      Defined
          Value
              Str
                  Num
                      Int
                  ClassName
                  RoleName
          Ref
              ScalarRef
              ArrayRef[`a]
              HashRef[`a]
              CodeRef
              RegexpRef
              GlobRef
                  FileHandle
              Object

B<NOTE:> Any type followed by a type parameter C<[`a]> can be
parameterized, this means you can say:

  ArrayRef[Int]    # an array of integers
  HashRef[CodeRef] # a hash of str to CODE ref mappings
  Maybe[Str]       # value may be a string, may be undefined

If Moose finds a name in brackets that it does not recognize as an
existing type, it assumes that this is a class name, for example
C<ArrayRef[DateTime]>.

B<NOTE:> Unless you parameterize a type, then it is invalid to include
the square brackets. I.e. C<ArrayRef[]> will be treated as a new type
name, I<not> as a parameterization of C<ArrayRef>.

B<NOTE:> The C<Undef> type constraint for the most part works
correctly now, but edge cases may still exist, please use it
sparingly.

B<NOTE:> The C<ClassName> type constraint does a complex package
existence check. This means that your class B<must> be loaded for this
type constraint to pass.

B<NOTE:> The C<RoleName> constraint checks a string is a I<package
name> which is a role, like C<'MyApp::Role::Comparable'>.

=head2 Type Constraint Naming

Type name declared via this module can only contain alphanumeric
characters, colons (:), and periods (.).

Since the types created by this module are global, it is suggested
that you namespace your types just as you would namespace your
modules. So instead of creating a I<Color> type for your
B<My::Graphics> module, you would call the type
I<My::Graphics::Types::Color> instead.

=head2 Use with Other Constraint Modules

This module can play nicely with other constraint modules with some
slight tweaking. The C<where> clause in types is expected to be a
C<CODE> reference which checks it's first argument and returns a
boolean. 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<Declare::Constraints::Simple> to declare a completely new type.

  type 'HashOfArrayOfObjects',
      {
      where => IsHashRef(
          -keys   => HasLength,
          -values => IsArrayRef(IsObject)
      )
  };

For more examples see the F<t/200_examples/004_example_w_DCS.t> test
file.

Here is an example of using L<Test::Deep> and it's non-test
related C<eq_deeply> function.

  type 'ArrayOfHashOfBarsAndRandomNumbers'
      => where {
          eq_deeply($_,
              array_each(subhashof({
                  bar           => isa('Bar'),
                  random_number => ignore()
              })))
        };

For a complete example see the
F<t/200_examples/005_example_w_TestDeep.t> test file.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 Type Constraint Constructors

The following functions are used to create type constraints.  They
will also register the type constraints your create in a global
registry that is used to look types up by name.

See the L<SYNOPSIS> for an example of how to use these.

=over 4

=item B<< subtype 'Name' => as 'Parent' => where { } ... >>

This creates a named subtype.

If you provide a parent that Moose does not recognize, it will
automatically create a new class type constraint for this name.

When creating a named type, the C<subtype> function should either be
called with the sugar helpers (C<where>, C<message>, etc), or with a
name and a hashref of parameters:

 subtype( 'Foo', { where => ..., message => ... } );

The valid hashref keys are C<as> (the parent), C<where>, C<message>,
and C<optimize_as>.

=item B<< subtype as 'Parent' => where { } ... >>

This creates an unnamed subtype and will return the type
constraint meta-object, which will be an instance of
L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>.

When creating an anonymous type, the C<subtype> function should either
be called with the sugar helpers (C<where>, C<message>, etc), or with
just a hashref of parameters:

 subtype( { where => ..., message => ... } );

=item B<class_type ($class, ?$options)>

Creates a new subtype of C<Object> with the name C<$class> and the
metaclass L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class>.

=item B<role_type ($role, ?$options)>

Creates a C<Role> type constraint with the name C<$role> and the
metaclass L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role>.

=item B<maybe_type ($type)>

Creates a type constraint for either C<undef> or something of the
given type.

=item B<duck_type ($name, \@methods)>

This will create a subtype of Object and test to make sure the value
C<can()> do the methods in C<\@methods>.

This is intended as an easy way to accept non-Moose objects that
provide a certain interface. If you're using Moose classes, we
recommend that you use a C<requires>-only Role instead.

=item B<duck_type (\@methods)>

If passed an ARRAY reference as the only parameter instead of the
C<$name>, C<\@methods> pair, this will create an unnamed duck type.
This can be used in an attribute definition like so:

  has 'cache' => (
      is  => 'ro',
      isa => duck_type( [qw( get_set )] ),
  );

=item B<enum ($name, \@values)>

This will create a basic subtype for a given set of strings.
The resulting constraint will be a subtype of C<Str> and
will match any of the items in C<\@values>. It is case sensitive.
See the L<SYNOPSIS> for a simple example.

B<NOTE:> This is not a true proper enum type, it is simply
a convenient constraint builder.

=item B<enum (\@values)>

If passed an ARRAY reference as the only parameter instead of the
C<$name>, C<\@values> pair, this will create an unnamed enum. This
can then be used in an attribute definition like so:

  has 'sort_order' => (
      is  => 'ro',
      isa => enum([qw[ ascending descending ]]),
  );

=item B<as 'Parent'>

This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax.

It takes a single argument, which is the name of a parent type.

=item B<where { ... }>

This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax.

It takes a subroutine reference as an argument. When the type
constraint is tested, the reference is run with the value to be tested
in C<$_>. This reference should return true or false to indicate
whether or not the constraint check passed.

=item B<message { ... }>

This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax.

It takes a subroutine reference as an argument. When the type
constraint fails, then the code block is run with the value provided
in C<$_>. This reference should return a string, which will be used in
the text of the exception thrown.

=item B<optimize_as { ... }>

This can be used to define a "hand optimized" version of your
type constraint which can be used to avoid traversing a subtype
constraint hierarchy.

B<NOTE:> 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.

=item B<< type 'Name' => where { } ... >>

This creates a base type, which has no parent.

The C<type> function should either be called with the sugar helpers
(C<where>, C<message>, etc), or with a name and a hashref of
parameters:

  type( 'Foo', { where => ..., message => ... } );

The valid hashref keys are C<where>, C<message>, and C<optimize_as>.

=back

=head2 Type Constraint Utilities

=over 4

=item B<< match_on_type $value => ( $type => \&action, ... ?\&default ) >>

This is a utility function for doing simple type based dispatching similar to
match/case in O'Caml and case/of in Haskell. It is not as featureful as those
languages, nor does not it support any kind of automatic destructuring
bind. Here is a simple Perl pretty printer dispatching over the core Moose
types.

  sub ppprint {
      my $x = shift;
      match_on_type $x => (
          HashRef => sub {
              my $hash = shift;
              '{ '
                  . (
                  join ", " => map { $_ . ' => ' . ppprint( $hash->{$_} ) }
                      sort keys %$hash
                  ) . ' }';
          },
          ArrayRef => sub {
              my $array = shift;
              '[ ' . ( join ", " => map { ppprint($_) } @$array ) . ' ]';
          },
          CodeRef   => sub {'sub { ... }'},
          RegexpRef => sub { 'qr/' . $_ . '/' },
          GlobRef   => sub { '*' . B::svref_2object($_)->NAME },
          Object    => sub { $_->can('to_string') ? $_->to_string : $_ },
          ScalarRef => sub { '\\' . ppprint( ${$_} ) },
          Num       => sub {$_},
          Str       => sub { '"' . $_ . '"' },
          Undef     => sub {'undef'},
          => sub { die "I don't know what $_ is" }
      );
  }

Or a simple JSON serializer:

  sub to_json {
      my $x = shift;
      match_on_type $x => (
          HashRef => sub {
              my $hash = shift;
              '{ '
                  . (
                  join ", " =>
                      map { '"' . $_ . '" : ' . to_json( $hash->{$_} ) }
                      sort keys %$hash
                  ) . ' }';
          },
          ArrayRef => sub {
              my $array = shift;
              '[ ' . ( join ", " => map { to_json($_) } @$array ) . ' ]';
          },
          Num   => sub {$_},
          Str   => sub { '"' . $_ . '"' },
          Undef => sub {'null'},
          => sub { die "$_ is not acceptable json type" }
      );
  }

The matcher is done by mapping a C<$type> to an C<\&action>. The C<$type> can
be either a string type or a L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object, and
C<\&action> is a subroutine reference. This function will dispatch on the
first match for C<$value>. It is possible to have a catch-all by providing an
additional subroutine reference as the final argument to C<match_on_type>.

=back

=head2 Type Coercion Constructors

You can define coercions for type constraints, which allow you to
automatically transform values to something valid for the type
constraint. If you ask your accessor to coerce, then 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<SYNOPSIS> for an example of how to use these.

=over 4

=item B<< coerce 'Name' => from 'OtherName' => via { ... } >>

This defines a coercion from one type to another. The C<Name> argument
is the type you are coercing I<to>.

=item B<from 'OtherName'>

This is just sugar for the type coercion construction syntax.

It takes a single type name (or type object), which is the type being
coerced I<from>.

=item B<via { ... }>

This is just sugar for the type coercion construction syntax.

It takes a subroutine reference. This reference will be called with
the value to be coerced in C<$_>. It is expected to return a new value
of the proper type for the coercion.

=back

=head2 Creating and Finding Type Constraints

These are additional functions for creating and finding type
constraints. Most of these functions are not available for
importing. The ones that are importable as specified.

=over 4

=item B<find_type_constraint($type_name)>

This function can be used to locate the L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>
object for a named type.

This function is importable.

=item B<register_type_constraint($type_object)>

This function will register a L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> with the
global type registry.

This function is importable.

=item B<normalize_type_constraint_name($type_constraint_name)>

This method takes a type constraint name and returns the normalized
form. This removes any whitespace in the string.

=item B<create_type_constraint_union($pipe_separated_types | @type_constraint_names)>

This can take a union type specification like C<'Int|ArrayRef[Int]'>,
or a list of names. It returns a new
L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union> object.

=item B<create_parameterized_type_constraint($type_name)>

Given a C<$type_name> in the form of C<'BaseType[ContainerType]'>,
this will create a new L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized>
object. The C<BaseType> must exist already exist as a parameterizable
type.

=item B<create_class_type_constraint($class, $options)>

Given a class name this function will create a new
L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class> object for that class name.

The C<$options> is a hash reference that will be passed to the
L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class> constructor (as a hash).

=item B<create_role_type_constraint($role, $options)>

Given a role name this function will create a new
L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role> object for that role name.

The C<$options> is a hash reference that will be passed to the
L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role> constructor (as a hash).

=item B<create_enum_type_constraint($name, $values)>

Given a enum name this function will create a new
L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Enum> object for that enum name.

=item B<create_duck_type_constraint($name, $methods)>

Given a duck type name this function will create a new
L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType> object for that enum name.

=item B<find_or_parse_type_constraint($type_name)>

Given a type name, this first attempts to find a matching constraint
in the global registry.

If the type name is a union or parameterized type, it will create a
new object of the appropriate, but if given a "regular" type that does
not yet exist, it simply returns false.

When given a union or parameterized type, the member or base type must
already exist.

If it creates a new union or parameterized type, it will add it to the
global registry.

=item B<find_or_create_isa_type_constraint($type_name)>

=item B<find_or_create_does_type_constraint($type_name)>

These functions will first call C<find_or_parse_type_constraint>. If
that function does not return a type, a new anonymous type object will
be created.

The C<isa> variant will use C<create_class_type_constraint> and the
C<does> variant will use C<create_role_type_constraint>.

=item B<get_type_constraint_registry>

Returns the L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry> object which
keeps track of all type constraints.

=item B<list_all_type_constraints>

This will return a list of type constraint names in the global
registry. You can then fetch the actual type object using
C<find_type_constraint($type_name)>.

=item B<list_all_builtin_type_constraints>

This will return a list of builtin type constraints, meaning those
which are defined in this module. See the L<Default Type Constraints>
section for a complete list.

=item B<export_type_constraints_as_functions>

This will export all the current type constraints as functions into
the caller's namespace (C<Int()>, C<Str()>, etc). Right now, this is
mostly used for testing, but it might prove useful to others.

=item B<get_all_parameterizable_types>

This returns all the parameterizable types that have been registered,
as a list of type objects.

=item B<add_parameterizable_type($type)>

Adds C<$type> to the list of parameterizable types
