=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides Moose with the ability to create custom type
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, expression are not typed, etc. etc. etc.
+inference is performed, expressions are not typed, etc. etc. etc.
-This is simply a means of creating small constraint functions which
-can be used to simplify your own type-checking code, with the added
-side benefit of making your intentions clearer through self-documentation.
+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 and subtype names.
+It is B<always> a good idea to quote your type names.
-This is to prevent perl from trying to execute the call as an indirect
-object call. This issue only seems to come up when you have a subtype
-the same name as a valid class, but when the issue does arise it tends
-to be quite annoying to debug.
+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.
-So for instance, this:
+For instance:
subtype DateTime => as Object => where { $_->isa('DateTime') };
-will I<Just Work>, while this:
+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 yet, is to simply do this:
+yet to have been created, is to quote the type name:
use DateTime;
subtype 'DateTime' => as 'Object' => where { $_->isa('DateTime') };

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

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
-literally interpreted as a type name.

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

-this type constraint to pass. I know this is not ideal for all,

=head2 Type Constraint Naming
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.Color> instead.

+B<My::Graphics> module, you would call the type
+I<My::Graphics::Types::Color> instead.
=head2 Use with Other Constraint Modules
-This module should play fairly nicely with other constraint
-modules with only 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

-They will then register the type constraints in a global store
-where Moose can get to them if it needs to.
+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<type ($name, $where_clause)>
-
-This creates a base type, which has no parent.
-
-=item B<subtype ($name, $parent, $where_clause, ?$message)>
+=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.
-=item B<subtype ($parent, $where_clause, ?$message)>
+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<$class> and the
Creates a type constraint for either C<undef> or something of the
given type.
-=item B<enum ($name, @values)>
+=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.
+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

-=item B<as>
+=item B<as 'Parent'>
This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax.
-=item B<where>
+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.
-Takes a block/code ref as an argument. When the type constraint is
-tested, the supplied code is run with the value to be tested in
-$_. This block should return true or false to indicate whether or not
-the constraint check passed.
+It takes a subroutine reference as an argument. When the type
+constraint is tested, the reference is run with the value to be tested
+in C<$_>. This reference should return true or false to indicate
+whether or not the constraint check passed.
-=item B<message>
+=item B<message { ... }>
This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax.
-Takes a block/code ref as an argument. When the type constraint fails,
-then the code block is run (with the value provided in $_). This code
-ref should return a string, which will be used in the text of the
-exception thrown.
+It takes a subroutine reference as an argument. When the type

+in C<$_>. This reference should return a string, which will be used in

-=item B<optimize_as>
+=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
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:

+=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 OCaml 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>.

=head2 Type Coercion Constructors
-Type constraints can also contain type coercions as well. 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.

-=item B<coerce>

-=item B<from>

This is just sugar for the type coercion construction syntax.
-=item B<via>
+It takes a single type name (or type object), which is the type being

+
+=item B<via { ... }>
This is just sugar for the type coercion construction syntax.
