=head1 NAME
use Moose;
use MooseX::Types::Moose qw(Str Int);
- use MooseX::Types::Structured qw(Dict Tuple);
-
- has name => (isa=>Dict[first_name=>Str, last_name=>Str]);
+ use MooseX::Types::Structured qw(Dict Optional);
+
+ ## A name has a first and last part, but middle names are not required
+ has name => (
+ isa=>Dict[
+ first=>Str,
+ last=>Str,
+ middle=>Optional[Str],
+ ],
+ );
Then you can instantiate this class with something like:
- my $instance = MyApp::MyClass->new(
+ my $john = MyApp::MyClass->new(
name => {
- first_name=>'John',
- last_name=>'Napiorkowski',
+ first=>'John',
+ middle=>'James'
+ last=>'Napiorkowski',
+ },
+ );
+
+ my $vanessa = MyApp::MyClass->new(
+ name => {
+ first=>'Vanessa',
+ last=>'Li'
},
);
MyApp::MyClass->new( name=>'John' );
MyApp::MyClass->new( name=>{first_name=>'John'} );
MyApp::MyClass->new( name=>{first_name=>'John', age=>39} );
-
+ MyApp::MyClass->new( name=>{first=>'Vanessa', middle=>[1,2], last=>'Li'} );
+
Please see the test cases for more examples.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Dict[name=>Str, age=>Int]; ## Validates {name=>'John', age=>39}
+=head2 Optional [$constraint]
+
+This is primarily a helper constraint for Dict and Tuple type constraints. What
+this allows if for you to assert that a given type constraint is allowed to be
+null (but NOT undefined). If the value is null, then the type constraint passes
+but if the value is defined it must validate against the type constraint. This
+makes it easy to make a Dict where one or more of the keys doesn't have to exist
+or a tuple where some of the values are not required. For example:
+
+ subtype Name() => as Dict[
+ first=>Str,
+ last=>Str,
+ middle=>Optional[Str],
+ ];
+
+Creates a constraint that validates against a hashref with the keys 'first' and
+'last' being strings and required while an optional key 'middle' is must be a
+string if it appears but doesn't have to appear. So in this case both the
+following are valid:
+
+ {first=>'John', middle=>'James', last=>'Napiorkowski'}
+ {first=>'Vanessa', last=>'Li'}
+
