a15dff8d 911=head1 DESCRIPTION
912
e85d2a5d 913This module provides Moose with the ability to create custom type
6549b0d1 914constraints to be used in attribute definition.
e522431d 915
6ba6d68c 916=head2 Important Caveat
917
e85d2a5d 918This is B<NOT> a type system for Perl 5. These are type constraints,
919and they are not used by Moose unless you tell it to. No type
e7fcb7b2 920inference is performed, expressions are not typed, etc. etc. etc.
6ba6d68c 921
e7fcb7b2 922A type constraint is at heart a small "check if a value is valid"
923function. A constraint can be associated with an attribute. This
924simplifies parameter validation, and makes your code clearer to read,
925because you can refer to constraints by name.
6ba6d68c 926
2c0cbef7 927=head2 Slightly Less Important Caveat
928
e7fcb7b2 929It is B<always> a good idea to quote your type names.
004222dc 930
e7fcb7b2 931This prevents Perl from trying to execute the call as an indirect
932object call. This can be an issue when you have a subtype with the
933same name as a valid class.
2c0cbef7 934
e7fcb7b2 935For instance:
e85d2a5d 936
2c0cbef7 937 subtype DateTime => as Object => where { $_->isa('DateTime') };
938
e7fcb7b2 939will I<just work>, while this:
2c0cbef7 940
941 use DateTime;
942 subtype DateTime => as Object => where { $_->isa('DateTime') };
943
e85d2a5d 944will fail silently and cause many headaches. The simple way to solve
945this, as well as future proof your subtypes from classes which have
e7fcb7b2 946yet to have been created, is to quote the type name:
2c0cbef7 947
948 use DateTime;
d44714be 949 subtype 'DateTime' => as 'Object' => where { $_->isa('DateTime') };
2c0cbef7 950

4ab662d6 978B<NOTE:> Any type followed by a type parameter C<[`a]> can be
7e4e1ad4 979parameterized, this means you can say:
980
757e07ef 981 ArrayRef[Int] # an array of integers
7e4e1ad4 982 HashRef[CodeRef] # a hash of str to CODE ref mappings
2c29c0e7 983 ScalarRef[Int] # a reference to an integer
7e4e1ad4 984 Maybe[Str] # value may be a string, may be undefined
985
4e8a0f64 986If Moose finds a name in brackets that it does not recognize as an
987existing type, it assumes that this is a class name, for example
988C<ArrayRef[DateTime]>.
989
e7fcb7b2 990B<NOTE:> Unless you parameterize a type, then it is invalid to include
991the square brackets. I.e. C<ArrayRef[]> will be treated as a new type
992name, I<not> as a parameterization of C<ArrayRef>.
e606ae5f 993
4ab662d6 994B<NOTE:> The C<Undef> type constraint for the most part works
995correctly now, but edge cases may still exist, please use it
6549b0d1 996sparingly.
703e92fb 997
7e4e1ad4 998B<NOTE:> The C<ClassName> type constraint does a complex package
e7fcb7b2 999existence check. This means that your class B<must> be loaded for this
1000type constraint to pass.
9af1d28b 1001
e7fcb7b2 1002B<NOTE:> The C<RoleName> constraint checks a string is a I<package
4831e2de 1003name> which is a role, like C<'MyApp::Role::Comparable'>.

e606ae5f 1005=head2 Type Constraint Naming
004222dc 1006
eee1a213 1007Type name declared via this module can only contain alphanumeric
1008characters, colons (:), and periods (.).
1009
e606ae5f 1010Since the types created by this module are global, it is suggested
1011that you namespace your types just as you would namespace your
e7fcb7b2 1012modules. So instead of creating a I<Color> type for your
1013B<My::Graphics> module, you would call the type
1014I<My::Graphics::Types::Color> instead.
004222dc 1015
703e92fb 1016=head2 Use with Other Constraint Modules
1017
e7fcb7b2 1018This module can play nicely with other constraint modules with some
1019slight tweaking. The C<where> clause in types is expected to be a
1020C<CODE> reference which checks it's first argument and returns a
1021boolean. Since most constraint modules work in a similar way, it
1022should be simple to adapt them to work with Moose.
703e92fb 1023
e85d2a5d 1024For instance, this is how you could use it with
1025L<Declare::Constraints::Simple> to declare a completely new type.
703e92fb 1026
9e856c83 1027 type 'HashOfArrayOfObjects',
1028 {
1029 where => IsHashRef(
703e92fb 1030 -keys => HasLength,
9e856c83 1031 -values => IsArrayRef(IsObject)
1032 )
1033 };

e85d2a5d 1038Here is an example of using L<Test::Deep> and it's non-test
1039related C<eq_deeply> function.
703e92fb 1040
e85d2a5d 1041 type 'ArrayOfHashOfBarsAndRandomNumbers'
703e92fb 1042 => where {
e85d2a5d 1043 eq_deeply($_,
703e92fb 1044 array_each(subhashof({
1045 bar => isa('Bar'),

1054
1055=head2 Type Constraint Constructors
1056
e7fcb7b2 1057The following functions are used to create type constraints. They
1058will also register the type constraints your create in a global
1059registry that is used to look types up by name.
a15dff8d 1060
cec39889 1061See the L</SYNOPSIS> for an example of how to use these.
a15dff8d 1062
6ba6d68c 1063=over 4
a15dff8d 1064
fbe1e4a5 1065=item B<< subtype 'Name' => as 'Parent' => where { } ... >>
182134e8 1066
e85d2a5d 1067This creates a named subtype.
d6e2d9a1 1068
dba9208a 1069If you provide a parent that Moose does not recognize, it will
1070automatically create a new class type constraint for this name.
1071
9e856c83 1072When creating a named type, the C<subtype> function should either be
1073called with the sugar helpers (C<where>, C<message>, etc), or with a
1074name and a hashref of parameters:
1075
1076 subtype( 'Foo', { where => ..., message => ... } );
1077
1078The valid hashref keys are C<as> (the parent), C<where>, C<message>,
1079and C<optimize_as>.
9a63faba 1080
fbe1e4a5 1081=item B<< subtype as 'Parent' => where { } ... >>
182134e8 1082
e85d2a5d 1083This creates an unnamed subtype and will return the type
1084constraint meta-object, which will be an instance of
1085L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>.
a15dff8d 1086
9e856c83 1087When creating an anonymous type, the C<subtype> function should either
1088be called with the sugar helpers (C<where>, C<message>, etc), or with
1089just a hashref of parameters:
1090
1091 subtype( { where => ..., message => ... } );
1092
620db045 1093=item B<class_type ($class, ?$options)>
3fef8ce8 1094
ed87d4fd 1095Creates a new subtype of C<Object> with the name C<$class> and the
1096metaclass L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class>.
3fef8ce8 1097
620db045 1098=item B<role_type ($role, ?$options)>
1099
ed87d4fd 1100Creates a C<Role> type constraint with the name C<$role> and the
1101metaclass L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role>.
620db045 1102
1b2c9bda 1103=item B<maybe_type ($type)>
1104
1105Creates a type constraint for either C<undef> or something of the
1106given type.
1107
bce5d4a5 1108=item B<duck_type ($name, \@methods)>
e451e855 1109
88b68372 1110This will create a subtype of Object and test to make sure the value
bce5d4a5 1111C<can()> do the methods in C<\@methods>.
88b68372 1112
1113This is intended as an easy way to accept non-Moose objects that
1114provide a certain interface. If you're using Moose classes, we
1115recommend that you use a C<requires>-only Role instead.
e451e855 1116
1117=item B<duck_type (\@methods)>
1118
bce5d4a5 1119If passed an ARRAY reference as the only parameter instead of the
1120C<$name>, C<\@methods> pair, this will create an unnamed duck type.
1121This can be used in an attribute definition like so:
e451e855 1122
88b68372 1123 has 'cache' => (
1124 is => 'ro',
1125 isa => duck_type( [qw( get_set )] ),
1126 );
e451e855 1127
bce5d4a5 1128=item B<enum ($name, \@values)>
fcec2383 1129
e85d2a5d 1130This will create a basic subtype for a given set of strings.
1131The resulting constraint will be a subtype of C<Str> and
bce5d4a5 1132will match any of the items in C<\@values>. It is case sensitive.
cec39889 1133See the L</SYNOPSIS> for a simple example.
2c0cbef7 1134
6549b0d1 1135B<NOTE:> This is not a true proper enum type, it is simply
1136a convenient constraint builder.
2c0cbef7 1137
9f4334a1 1138=item B<enum (\@values)>
1139
bce5d4a5 1140If passed an ARRAY reference as the only parameter instead of the
1141C<$name>, C<\@values> pair, this will create an unnamed enum. This
1142can then be used in an attribute definition like so:
9f4334a1 1143
1144 has 'sort_order' => (
1145 is => 'ro',
4ab662d6 1146 isa => enum([qw[ ascending descending ]]),
9f4334a1 1147 );
1148
e7fcb7b2 1149=item B<as 'Parent'>
a15dff8d 1150
6ba6d68c 1151This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax.
a15dff8d 1152
e7fcb7b2 1153It takes a single argument, which is the name of a parent type.
1154
1155=item B<where { ... }>
a15dff8d 1156
6ba6d68c 1157This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax.
76d37e5a 1158
e7fcb7b2 1159It takes a subroutine reference as an argument. When the type
1160constraint is tested, the reference is run with the value to be tested
1161in C<$_>. This reference should return true or false to indicate
1162whether or not the constraint check passed.
e606ae5f 1163
e7fcb7b2 1164=item B<message { ... }>
76d37e5a 1165
1166This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax.
a15dff8d 1167
e7fcb7b2 1168It takes a subroutine reference as an argument. When the type
1169constraint fails, then the code block is run with the value provided
1170in C<$_>. This reference should return a string, which will be used in
1171the text of the exception thrown.
e606ae5f 1172
e7fcb7b2 1173=item B<optimize_as { ... }>
8ecb1fa0 1174
e85d2a5d 1175This can be used to define a "hand optimized" version of your
d44714be 1176type constraint which can be used to avoid traversing a subtype
6549b0d1 1177constraint hierarchy.
d44714be 1178
e85d2a5d 1179B<NOTE:> You should only use this if you know what you are doing,
1180all the built in types use this, so your subtypes (assuming they
d44714be 1181are shallow) will not likely need to use this.
1182
78d0edd7 1183=item B<< type 'Name' => where { } ... >>
e7fcb7b2 1184
1185This creates a base type, which has no parent.
1186
1187The C<type> function should either be called with the sugar helpers
1188(C<where>, C<message>, etc), or with a name and a hashref of
1189parameters:
1190
1191 type( 'Foo', { where => ..., message => ... } );
1192
1193The valid hashref keys are C<where>, C<message>, and C<optimize_as>.

1201=item B<< match_on_type $value => ( $type => \&action, ... ?\&default ) >>
1202
1a15f4a8 1203This is a utility function for doing simple type based dispatching similar to
2ae1457e 1204match/case in OCaml and case/of in Haskell. It is not as featureful as those
1a15f4a8 1205languages, nor does not it support any kind of automatic destructuring
1206bind. Here is a simple Perl pretty printer dispatching over the core Moose
1207types.
0d29b772 1208
1209 sub ppprint {
1210 my $x = shift;
1a15f4a8 1211 match_on_type $x => (
1212 HashRef => sub {
0d29b772 1213 my $hash = shift;
1a15f4a8 1214 '{ '
1215 . (
1216 join ", " => map { $_ . ' => ' . ppprint( $hash->{$_} ) }
1217 sort keys %$hash
1218 ) . ' }';
1219 },
1220 ArrayRef => sub {
0d29b772 1221 my $array = shift;
1a15f4a8 1222 '[ ' . ( join ", " => map { ppprint($_) } @$array ) . ' ]';
1223 },
1224 CodeRef => sub {'sub { ... }'},
1225 RegexpRef => sub { 'qr/' . $_ . '/' },
1226 GlobRef => sub { '*' . B::svref_2object($_)->NAME },
0d29b772 1227 Object => sub { $_->can('to_string') ? $_->to_string : $_ },
1a15f4a8 1228 ScalarRef => sub { '\\' . ppprint( ${$_} ) },
1229 Num => sub {$_},
1230 Str => sub { '"' . $_ . '"' },
1231 Undef => sub {'undef'},
1232 => sub { die "I don't know what $_ is" }
1233 );
0d29b772 1234 }
1235
e7597637 1236Or a simple JSON serializer:
1237
1238 sub to_json {
1239 my $x = shift;
1a15f4a8 1240 match_on_type $x => (
1241 HashRef => sub {
e7597637 1242 my $hash = shift;
1a15f4a8 1243 '{ '
1244 . (
1245 join ", " =>
1246 map { '"' . $_ . '" : ' . to_json( $hash->{$_} ) }
1247 sort keys %$hash
1248 ) . ' }';
1249 },
1250 ArrayRef => sub {
e7597637 1251 my $array = shift;
1a15f4a8 1252 '[ ' . ( join ", " => map { to_json($_) } @$array ) . ' ]';
1253 },
1254 Num => sub {$_},
1255 Str => sub { '"' . $_ . '"' },
1256 Undef => sub {'null'},
1257 => sub { die "$_ is not acceptable json type" }
1258 );
e7597637 1259 }
1260
1a15f4a8 1261The matcher is done by mapping a C<$type> to an C<\&action>. The C<$type> can
1262be either a string type or a L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object, and
1263C<\&action> is a subroutine reference. This function will dispatch on the
1264first match for C<$value>. It is possible to have a catch-all by providing an
1265additional subroutine reference as the final argument to C<match_on_type>.

6ba6d68c 1269=head2 Type Coercion Constructors
a15dff8d 1270
e7fcb7b2 1271You can define coercions for type constraints, which allow you to
1272automatically transform values to something valid for the type
1273constraint. If you ask your accessor to coerce, then Moose will run
1274the type-coercion code first, followed by the type constraint
1275check. This feature should be used carefully as it is very powerful
1276and could easily take off a limb if you are not careful.
a15dff8d 1277
cec39889 1278See the L</SYNOPSIS> for an example of how to use these.

a15dff8d 1283
e7fcb7b2 1284This defines a coercion from one type to another. The C<Name> argument
1285is the type you are coercing I<to>.
1286
1287=item B<from 'OtherName'>
a15dff8d 1288
6ba6d68c 1289This is just sugar for the type coercion construction syntax.

6ba6d68c 1296This is just sugar for the type coercion construction syntax.

004222dc 1327
e7fcb7b2 1328This method takes a type constraint name and returns the normalized
1329form. This removes any whitespace in the string.
004222dc 1330
e7fcb7b2 1331=item B<create_type_constraint_union($pipe_separated_types | @type_constraint_names)>
004222dc 1332
e7fcb7b2 1333This can take a union type specification like C<'Int|ArrayRef[Int]'>,
1334or a list of names. It returns a new
1335L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union> object.

1340this will create a new L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized>
1341object. The C<BaseType> must exist already exist as a parameterizable
1342type.

e7fcb7b2 1344=item B<create_class_type_constraint($class, $options)>
dabed765 1345
e7fcb7b2 1346Given a class name this function will create a new
1347L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class> object for that class name.
004222dc 1348
e7fcb7b2 1349The C<$options> is a hash reference that will be passed to the

8a6c8c47 1360=item B<create_enum_type_constraint($name, $values)>
1361
1362Given a enum name this function will create a new
1363L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Enum> object for that enum name.
1364
0a6bff54 1365=item B<create_duck_type_constraint($name, $methods)>
1366
1367Given a duck type name this function will create a new

1369
e7fcb7b2 1370=item B<find_or_parse_type_constraint($type_name)>
620db045 1371
ec4b72d2 1372Given a type name, this first attempts to find a matching constraint
e7fcb7b2 1373in the global registry.
620db045 1374
e7fcb7b2 1375If the type name is a union or parameterized type, it will create a
1376new object of the appropriate, but if given a "regular" type that does
1377not yet exist, it simply returns false.
620db045 1378
e7fcb7b2 1379When given a union or parameterized type, the member or base type must
1380already exist.
620db045 1381
e7fcb7b2 1382If it creates a new union or parameterized type, it will add it to the
1383global registry.

e7fcb7b2 1389These functions will first call C<find_or_parse_type_constraint>. If
1390that function does not return a type, a new anonymous type object will
1391be created.
004222dc 1392
e7fcb7b2 1393The C<isa> variant will use C<create_class_type_constraint> and the
1394C<does> variant will use C<create_role_type_constraint>.
004222dc 1395

1400
1401=item B<list_all_type_constraints>
1402
e7fcb7b2 1403This will return a list of type constraint names in the global
1404registry. You can then fetch the actual type object using
1405C<find_type_constraint($type_name)>.
004222dc 1406
1407=item B<list_all_builtin_type_constraints>
1408
