486 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
487 | |
e85d2a5d |
488 | This module provides Moose with the ability to create custom type |
489 | contraints to be used in attribute definition. |
e522431d |
490 | |
6ba6d68c |
491 | =head2 Important Caveat |
492 | |
e85d2a5d |
493 | This is B<NOT> a type system for Perl 5. These are type constraints, |
494 | and they are not used by Moose unless you tell it to. No type |
495 | inference is performed, expression are not typed, etc. etc. etc. |
6ba6d68c |
496 | |
e85d2a5d |
497 | This is simply a means of creating small constraint functions which |
a7d0cd00 |
498 | can be used to simplify your own type-checking code. |
6ba6d68c |
499 | |
2c0cbef7 |
500 | =head2 Slightly Less Important Caveat |
501 | |
e85d2a5d |
502 | It is almost always a good idea to quote your type and subtype names. |
503 | This is to prevent perl from trying to execute the call as an indirect |
2c0cbef7 |
504 | object call. This issue only seems to come up when you have a subtype |
e85d2a5d |
505 | the same name as a valid class, but when the issue does arise it tends |
506 | to be quite annoying to debug. |
2c0cbef7 |
507 | |
508 | So for instance, this: |
e85d2a5d |
509 | |
2c0cbef7 |
510 | subtype DateTime => as Object => where { $_->isa('DateTime') }; |
511 | |
512 | will I<Just Work>, while this: |
513 | |
514 | use DateTime; |
515 | subtype DateTime => as Object => where { $_->isa('DateTime') }; |
516 | |
e85d2a5d |
517 | will fail silently and cause many headaches. The simple way to solve |
518 | this, as well as future proof your subtypes from classes which have |
2c0cbef7 |
519 | yet to have been created yet, is to simply do this: |
520 | |
521 | use DateTime; |
d44714be |
522 | subtype 'DateTime' => as 'Object' => where { $_->isa('DateTime') }; |
2c0cbef7 |
523 | |
6ba6d68c |
524 | =head2 Default Type Constraints |
e522431d |
525 | |
e85d2a5d |
526 | This module also provides a simple hierarchy for Perl 5 types, this |
e522431d |
527 | could probably use some work, but it works for me at the moment. |

550 | Suggestions for improvement are welcome. |
2c0cbef7 |
551 | |
e85d2a5d |
552 | B<NOTE:> The C<Undef> type constraint does not work correctly |
2c0cbef7 |
553 | in every occasion, please use it sparringly. |
703e92fb |
554 | |
e85d2a5d |
555 | B<NOTE:> The C<ClassName> type constraint is simply a subtype |
9af1d28b |
556 | of string which responds true to C<isa('UNIVERSAL')>. This means |
e85d2a5d |
557 | that your class B<must> be loaded for this type constraint to |
558 | pass. I know this is not ideal for all, but it is a saner |
559 | restriction than most others. |
9af1d28b |
560 | |
703e92fb |
561 | =head2 Use with Other Constraint Modules |
562 | |
e85d2a5d |
563 | This module should play fairly nicely with other constraint |
564 | modules with only some slight tweaking. The C<where> clause |
703e92fb |
565 | in types is expected to be a C<CODE> reference which checks |
566 | it's first argument and returns a bool. Since most constraint |
e85d2a5d |
567 | modules work in a similar way, it should be simple to adapt |
703e92fb |
568 | them to work with Moose. |
569 | |
e85d2a5d |
570 | For instance, this is how you could use it with |
571 | L<Declare::Constraints::Simple> to declare a completely new type. |
703e92fb |
572 | |
e85d2a5d |
573 | type 'HashOfArrayOfObjects' |
703e92fb |
574 | => IsHashRef( |
575 | -keys => HasLength, |
576 | -values => IsArrayRef( IsObject )); |
577 | |
578 | For more examples see the F<t/204_example_w_DCS.t> test file. |
579 | |
e85d2a5d |
580 | Here is an example of using L<Test::Deep> and it's non-test |
581 | related C<eq_deeply> function. |
703e92fb |
582 | |
e85d2a5d |
583 | type 'ArrayOfHashOfBarsAndRandomNumbers' |
703e92fb |
584 | => where { |
e85d2a5d |
585 | eq_deeply($_, |
703e92fb |
586 | array_each(subhashof({ |
587 | bar => isa('Bar'), |
588 | random_number => ignore() |
e85d2a5d |
589 | }))) |
703e92fb |
590 | }; |
591 | |
e85d2a5d |

e85d2a5d |
603 | Given string with C<$pipe_seperated_types> or a list of C<@type_constraint_names>, |
d9b40005 |
604 | this will return a L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union> instance. |

e85d2a5d |
612 | this will extract the base type and container type and build an instance of |

615 | =item B<find_or_create_type_constraint ($type_name, ?$options_for_anon_type)> |
6ba6d68c |
616 | |
e85d2a5d |
617 | This will attempt to find or create a type constraint given the a C<$type_name>. |
618 | If it cannot find it in the registry, it will see if it should be a union or |
619 | container type an create one if appropriate, and lastly if nothing can be |
620 | found or created that way, it will create an anon-type using the |
d9b40005 |
621 | C<$options_for_anon_type> HASH ref to populate it. |
429ccc11 |
622 | |
d9b40005 |
623 | =item B<find_type_constraint ($type_name)> |
624 | |
625 | This function can be used to locate a specific type constraint |
626 | meta-object, of the class L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> or a |
627 | derivative. What you do with it from there is up to you :) |
628 | |
629 | =item B<get_type_constraint_registry> |
630 | |
e85d2a5d |
631 | Fetch the L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry> object which |
d9b40005 |
632 | keeps track of all type constraints. |

b1e01e3c |
634 | =item B<list_all_type_constraints> |
635 | |
e85d2a5d |
636 | This will return a list of type constraint names, you can then |
637 | fetch them using C<find_type_constraint ($type_name)> if you |
b1e01e3c |
638 | want to. |
639 | |
943596a6 |
640 | =item B<list_all_builtin_type_constraints> |
641 | |
e85d2a5d |
642 | This will return a list of builtin type constraints, meaning, |
643 | those which are defined in this module. See the section |
943596a6 |
644 | labeled L<Default Type Constraints> for a complete list. |
645 | |
d9b40005 |
646 | =item B<export_type_constraints_as_functions> |
647 | |
e85d2a5d |
648 | This will export all the current type constraints as functions |
649 | into the caller's namespace. Right now, this is mostly used for |
d9b40005 |
650 | testing, but it might prove useful to others. |

658 | where Moose can get to them if it needs to. |

e85d2a5d |

668 | =item B<subtype ($name, $parent, $where_clause, ?$message)> |

e85d2a5d |
670 | This creates a named subtype. |

79592a54 |
672 | =item B<subtype ($parent, $where_clause, ?$message)> |
182134e8 |
673 | |
e85d2a5d |
674 | This creates an unnamed subtype and will return the type |
675 | constraint meta-object, which will be an instance of |
676 | L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>. |
a15dff8d |
677 | |
fcec2383 |
678 | =item B<enum ($name, @values)> |
679 | |
e85d2a5d |
680 | This will create a basic subtype for a given set of strings. |
681 | The resulting constraint will be a subtype of C<Str> and |
4ce56d04 |
682 | will match any of the items in C<@values>. It is case sensitive. |
683 | See the L<SYNOPSIS> for a simple example. |
2c0cbef7 |

e85d2a5d |
685 | B<NOTE:> This is not a true proper enum type, it is simple |

700 | =item B<optimize_as> |
701 | |
e85d2a5d |
702 | This can be used to define a "hand optimized" version of your |
d44714be |
703 | type constraint which can be used to avoid traversing a subtype |
e85d2a5d |
704 | constraint heirarchy. |
d44714be |
705 | |
e85d2a5d |
706 | B<NOTE:> You should only use this if you know what you are doing, |
707 | all the built in types use this, so your subtypes (assuming they |
d44714be |
708 | are shallow) will not likely need to use this. |

713 | |
e85d2a5d |
714 | Type constraints can also contain type coercions as well. If you |
715 | ask your accessor to coerce, then Moose will run the type-coercion |
716 | code first, followed by the type constraint check. This feature |
717 | should be used carefully as it is very powerful and could easily |

718 | take off a limb if you are not careful. |
