=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is simply a means of creating small constraint functions which
can be used to simplify your own type-checking code.
+=head2 Slightly Less Important Caveat
+
+It is almost always a good idea to quote your type and subtype names.
+This is to prevent perl from trying to create 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.
+
+So for instance, this:
+
+ 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 yet, is to simply do this:
+
+ use DateTime;
+ subtype 'DateTime' => as Object => where { $_->isa('DateTime') };
+
=head2 Default Type Constraints
This module also provides a simple hierarchy for Perl 5 types, this
could probably use some work, but it works for me at the moment.
Any
- Value
- Int
- Str
- Ref
- ScalarRef
- ArrayRef
- HashRef
- CodeRef
- RegexpRef
- Object
+ Item
+ Bool
+ Undef
+ Defined
+ Value
+ Num
+ Int
+ Str
+ Ref
+ ScalarRef
+ ArrayRef
+ HashRef
+ CodeRef
+ RegexpRef
+ Object
+ Role
Suggestions for improvement are welcome.
+
+B<NOTE:> The C<Undef> type constraint does not work correctly
+in every occasion, please use it sparringly.
=head1 FUNCTIONS
This function can be used to locate a specific type constraint
meta-object. What you do with it from there is up to you :)
+=item B<create_type_constraint_union (@type_constraint_names)>
+
+Given a list of C<@type_constraint_names>, this will return a
+B<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union> instance.
+
=item B<export_type_contstraints_as_functions>
This will export all the current type constraints as functions
constraint meta-object, which will be an instance of
L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>.
+=item B<enum ($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>. See the L<SYNOPSIS>
+for a simple example.
+
+B<NOTE:> This is not a true proper enum type, it is simple
+a convient constraint builder.
+
=item B<as>
This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax.
