=head1 NAME
The following is example usage for this module.
- package MyApp::MyClass;
-
+ package Person;
+
use Moose;
- use MooseX::Types::Moose qw(Str Int);
- use MooseX::Types::Structured qw(Dict Tuple);
+ use MooseX::Types::Moose qw(Str Int HashRef);
+ use MooseX::Types::Structured qw(Dict Tuple 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],
+ ],
+ );
+
+ ## description is a string field followed by a HashRef of tagged data.
+ has description => (
+ isa=>Tuple[
+ Str,
+ Optional[HashRef],
+ ],
+ );
- has name => (isa=>Dict[first_name=>Str, last_name=>Str]);
+ ## Remainder of your class attributes and methods
Then you can instantiate this class with something like:
- my $instance = MyApp::MyClass->new(
- name=>{first_name=>'John', last_name=>'Napiorkowski'},
- );
+ my $john = Person->new(
+ name => {
+ first => 'John',
+ middle => 'James'
+ last => 'Napiorkowski',
+ },
+ description => [
+ 'A cool guy who loves Perl and Moose.', {
+ married_to => 'Vanessa Li',
+ born_in => 'USA',
+ };
+ ]
+ );
-But all of these would cause an error:
+Or with:
- my $instance = MyApp::MyClass->new(name=>'John');
- my $instance = MyApp::MyClass->new(name=>{first_name=>'John'});
- my $instance = MyApp::MyClass->new(name=>{first_name=>'John', age=>39});
+ my $vanessa = Person->new(
+ name => {
+ first => 'Vanessa',
+ last => 'Li'
+ },
+ description => ['A great student!'],
+ );
+
+But all of these would cause a constraint error for the 'name' attribute:
+
+ ## Value for 'name' not a HashRef
+ Person->new( name => 'John' );
+
+ ## Value for 'name' has incorrect hash key and missing required keys
+ Person->new( name => {
+ first_name => 'John'
+ });
+
+ ## Also incorrect keys
+ Person->new( name => {
+ first_name => 'John',
+ age => 39,
+ });
+
+ ## key 'middle' incorrect type, should be a Str not a ArrayRef
+ Person->new( name => {
+ first => 'Vanessa',
+ middle => [1,2],
+ last => 'Li',
+ });
+
+And these would cause a constraint error for the 'description' attribute:
+
+ ## Should be an ArrayRef
+ Person->new( description => 'Hello I am a String' );
+
+ ## First element must be a string not a HashRef.
+ Person->new (description => [{
+ tag1 => 'value1',
+ tag2 => 'value2'
+ }]);
Please see the test cases for more examples.

-=head Comparing Parameterized types to Structured types
+=head2 Comparing Parameterized types to Structured types
-Parameterized constraints are built into the core Moose types 'HashRef' and
-'ArrayRef'. Structured types have similar functionality, so their syntax is
-likewise similar. For example, you could define a parameterized constraint like:
+Parameterized constraints are built into core Moose and you are probably already
+familar with the type constraints 'HashRef' and 'ArrayRef'. Structured types
+have similar functionality, so their syntax is likewise similar. For example,
+you could define a parameterized constraint like:
- subtype HashOfInts,
- as Hashref[Int];
+ subtype ArrayOfInts,
+ as ArrayRef[Int];
-which would constraint a value to something like [1,2,3,...] and so on. On the
-other hand, a structured type constraint explicitly names all it's allowed type
-parameter constraints. For the example:
+which would constrain a value to something like [1,2,3,...] and so on. On the
+other hand, a structured type constraint explicitly names all it's allowed
+'internal' type parameter constraints. For the example:
subtype StringFollowedByInt,
as Tuple[Str,Int];
-
-would constrain it's value to something like ['hello', 111] but ['hello', 'world']
-would fail, as well as ['hello', 111, 'world']
+
+would constrain it's value to things like ['hello', 111] but ['hello', 'world']
+would fail, as well as ['hello', 111, 'world'] and so on. Here's another
+example:
+
+ package MyApp::Types;
+
+ use MooseX::Types -declare [qw(StringIntOptionalHashRef)];
+ use MooseX::Types::Moose qw(Str Int);
+ use MooseX::Types::Structured qw(Tuple Optional);
+
+ subtype StringIntOptionalHashRef,
+ as Tuple[
+ Str, Int,
+ Optional[HashRef]
+ ];
+
+This defines a type constraint that validates values like:
+
+ ['Hello', 100, {key1 => 'value1', key2 => 'value2'}];
+ ['World', 200];
+
+Notice that the last type constraint in the structure is optional. This is
+enabled via the helper Optional type constraint, which is a variation of the
+core Moose type constraint 'Maybe'. The main difference is that Optional type
+constraints are required to validate if they exist, while 'Maybe' permits
+undefined values. So the following example would not validate:
+
+ StringIntOptionalHashRef->validate(['Hello Undefined', 1000, undef]);
+
+Please note the subtle difference between undefined and null. If you wish to
+allow both null and undefined, you should use the core Moose 'Maybe' type
+constraint instead:
+
+ package MyApp::Types;
+
+ use MooseX::Types -declare [qw(StringIntMaybeHashRef)];
+ use MooseX::Types::Moose qw(Str Int Maybe);
+ use MooseX::Types::Structured qw(Tuple);
+
+ subtype StringIntMaybeHashRef,
+ as Tuple[
+ Str, Int, Maybe[HashRef]
+ ];
+
+This would validate the following:
+
+ ['Hello', 100, {key1 => 'value1', key2 => 'value2'}];
+ ['World', 200, undef];
+ ['World', 200];
+
+Structured constraints are not limited to arrays. You can define a structure
+against a HashRef with the 'Dict' type constaint as in this example:
+
+ subtype FirstNameLastName,
+ as Dict[
+ firstname => Str,
+ lastname => Str,
+ ];
+
+This would constrain a HashRef that validates something like:
+
+ {firstname => 'Christopher', lastname => 'Parsons'};
+
+but all the following would fail validation:
+
+ ## Incorrect keys
+ {first => 'Christopher', last => 'Parsons'};
+
+ ## Too many keys
+ {firstname => 'Christopher', lastname => 'Parsons', middlename => 'Allen'};
+
+ ## Not a HashRef
+ ['Christopher', 'Parsons'];
These structures can be as simple or elaborate as you wish. You can even
combine various structured, parameterized and simple constraints all together:
- subtype crazy,
+ subtype Crazy,
as Tuple[
Int,
Dict[name=>Str, age=>Int],
ArrayRef[Int]
];
-
-Which would match "[1, {name=>'John', age=>25},[10,11,12]]". Please notice how
-the type parameters can be visually arranged to your liking and to improve the
-clarity of your meaning. You don't need to run then altogether onto a single
-line.

+
+Please notice how the type parameters can be visually arranged to your liking
+and to improve the clarity of your meaning. You don't need to run then
+altogether onto a single line. Additionally, since the 'Dict' type constraint
+defines a hash constraint, the key order is not meaningful. For example:
+
+ subtype AnyKeyOrder,
+ as Dict[
+ key1=>Int,
+ key2=>Str,
+ key3=>Int,
+ ];
+
+Would validate both:
+
+ {key1 => 1, key2 => "Hi!", key3 => 2};
+ {key2 => "Hi!", key1 => 100, key3 => 300};
+
+As you would expect, since underneath its just a plain old Perl hash at work.

package MyApp::MyStruct;
use Moose;

- has $_ for qw(name age);

This method may take some additional time to setup but will give you more
flexibility. However, structured constraints are highly compatible with this
method, granting some interesting possibilities for coercion. Try:
- subtype 'MyStruct',
+ package MyApp::MyClass;
+
+ use Moose;
+ use MyApp::MyStruct;
+
+ ## It's recommended your type declarations live in a separate class in order
+ ## to promote reusability and clarity. Inlined here for brevity.
+
+ use MooseX::Types::DateTime qw(DateTime);
+ use MooseX::Types -declare [qw(MyStruct)];
+ use MooseX::Types::Moose qw(Str Int);
+ use MooseX::Types::Structured qw(Dict);
+
+ ## Use class_type to create an ISA type constraint if your object doesn't
+ ## inherit from Moose::Object.
+ class_type 'MyApp::MyStruct';
+
+ ## Just a shorter version really.
+ subtype MyStruct,
as 'MyApp::MyStruct';
-
- coerce 'MyStruct',
- from (Dict[name=>Str, age=>Int]),
- via { MyApp::MyStruct->new(%$_) },
- from (Dict[last_name=>Str, first_name=>Str, dob=>DateTime]),
- via {
- my $name = $_->{first_name} .' '. $_->{last_name};
+
+ ## Add the coercions.
+ coerce MyStruct,
+ from Dict[
+ full_name=>Str,
+ age_in_years=>Int
+ ], via {
+ MyApp::MyStruct->new(%$_);
+ },
+ from Dict[
+ lastname=>Str,
+ firstname=>Str,
+ dob=>DateTime
+ ], via {
+ my $name = $_->{firstname} .' '. $_->{lastname};
my $age = DateTime->now - $_->{dob};
- MyApp::MyStruct->new( name=>$name, age=>$age->years );
+
+ MyApp::MyStruct->new(
+ full_name=>$name,
+ age_in_years=>$age->years,
+ );
};

-=head2 Subtyping a structured subtype
-You need to exercise some care when you try to subtype a structured type
-as in this example:
+ has person => (isa=>MyStruct);
+
+This would allow you to instantiate with something like:
+
+ my $obj = MyApp::MyClass->new( person => {
+ full_name=>'John Napiorkowski',
+ age_in_years=>39,
+ });
+
+Or even:
+
+ my $obj = MyApp::MyClass->new( person => {
+ lastname=>'John',
+ firstname=>'Napiorkowski',
+ dob=>DateTime->new(year=>1969),
+ });
+
+If you are not familiar with how coercions work, check out the L<Moose> cookbook
+entry L<Moose::Cookbook::Recipe5> for an explanation. The section L</Coercions>
+has additional examples and discussion.
+
+=head2 Subtyping a Structured type constraint
+
+You need to exercise some care when you try to subtype a structured type as in
+this example:
subtype Person,
- as Dict[name=>Str, age=>iIt];
-
+ as Dict[name => Str];
+
subtype FriendlyPerson,
- as Person[name=>Str, age=>Int, totalFriends=>Int];
-
+ as Person[
+ name => Str,
+ total_friends => Int,
+ ];
+
This will actually work BUT you have to take care that the subtype has a
structure that does not contradict the structure of it's parent. For now the
above works, but I will clarify the syntax for this at a future point, so
-it's recommended to avoid (should not realy be needed so much anyway). For

=head2 Coercions
Coercions currently work for 'one level' deep. That is you can do:
subtype Person,
- as Dict[name=>Str, age=>Int];
-
+ as Dict[
+ name => Str,
+ age => Int
+ ];
+
subtype Fullname,
- as Dict[first=>Str, last=>Str];
-
+ as Dict[
+ first => Str,
+ last => Str
+ ];
+
coerce Person,
- from BlessedPersonObject,
- via { +{name=>$_->name, age=>$_->age} },
- from ArrayRef,
- via { +{name=>$_->[0], age=>$_->[1] },
- from Dict[fullname=>Fullname, dob=>DateTime],
- via {
+ ## Coerce an object of a particular class
+ from BlessedPersonObject, via {
+ +{
+ name=>$_->name,
+ age=>$_->age,
+ };
+ },
+
+ ## Coerce from [$name, $age]
+ from ArrayRef, via {
+ +{
+ name=>$_->[0],
+ age=>$_->[1],
+ },
+ },
+ ## Coerce from {fullname=>{first=>...,last=>...}, dob=>$DateTimeObject}
+ from Dict[fullname=>Fullname, dob=>DateTime], via {
my $age = $_->dob - DateTime->now;
+ my $firstn = $_->{fullname}->{first};
+ my $lastn = $_->{fullname}->{last}
+{
- name=> $_->{fullname}->{first} .' '. $_->{fullname}->{last},
- age=>$age->years
+ name => $_->{fullname}->{first} .' '. ,
+ age =>$age->years
}
};
-
+
And that should just work as expected. However, if there are any 'inner'
coercions, such as a coercion on 'Fullname' or on 'DateTime', that coercion
won't currently get activated.

+Please see the test '07-coerce.t' for a more detailed example. Discussion on
+extending coercions to support this welcome on the Moose development channel or
+mailing list.
+
+=head2 Recursion
+
+Newer versions of L<MooseX::Types> support recursive type constraints. That is
+you can include a type constraint as a contained type constraint of itself. For
+example:
+
+ subtype Person,
+ as Dict[
+ name=>Str,
+ friends=>Optional[
+ ArrayRef[Person]
+ ],
+ ];
+
+This would declare a Person subtype that contains a name and an optional
+ArrayRef of Persons who are friends as in:
+
+ {
+ name => 'Mike',
+ friends => [
+ { name => 'John' },
+ { name => 'Vincent' },
+ {
+ name => 'Tracey',
+ friends => [
+ { name => 'Stephenie' },
+ { name => 'Ilya' },
+ ],
+ },
+ ],
+ };
+
+Please take care to make sure the recursion node is either Optional, or declare
+a Union with an non recursive option such as:
+
+ subtype Value
+ as Tuple[
+ Str,
+ Str|Tuple,
+ ];
+
+Which validates:
+
+ [
+ 'Hello', [
+ 'World', [
+ 'Is', [
+ 'Getting',
+ 'Old',
+ ],
+ ],
+ ],
+ ];
+
+Otherwise you will define a subtype thatis impossible to validate since it is
+infinitely recursive. For more information about defining recursive types,
+please see the documentation in L<MooseX::Types> and the test cases.
=head1 TYPE CONSTRAINTS
=head2 Tuple[@constraints]
-This defines an arrayref based constraint which allows you to validate a specific
-list of constraints. For example:
+This defines an ArrayRef based constraint which allows you to validate a specific
+list of contained constraints. For example:
Tuple[Int,Str]; ## Validates [1,'hello']
- Tuple[Str|Object, Int]; ##Validates ['hello', 1] or [$object, 2]
+ Tuple[Str|Object, Int]; ## Validates ['hello', 1] or [$object, 2]
+
+The Values of @constraints should ideally be L<MooseX::Types> declared type
+constraints. We do support 'old style' L<Moose> string based constraints to a
+limited degree but these string type constraints are considered deprecated.
+There will be limited support for bugs resulting from mixing string and
+L<MooseX::Types> in your structures. If you encounter such a bug and really
+need it fixed, we will required a detailed test case at the minimum.
-=head2 Dict [%constraints]
+=head2 Dict[%constraints]
-This defines a hashref based constraint which allowed you to validate a specific
+This defines a HashRef based constraint which allowed you to validate a specific
hashref. For example:
Dict[name=>Str, age=>Int]; ## Validates {name=>'John', age=>39}
+The keys in %constraints follow the same rules as @constraints in the above
+section.
+
+=head2 Optional[$constraint]
+
+This is primarily a helper constraint for Dict and Tuple type constraints. What
+this allows is 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'}
+
+If you use the 'Maybe' type constraint instead, your values will also validate
+against 'undef', which may be incorrect for you.
+
+=head1 EXPORTABLE SUBROUTINES
+
+This type library makes available for export the following subroutines
+
+=head2 slurpy
+
+Structured type constraints by their nature are closed; that is validation will
+depend on an exact match between your structure definition and the arguments to
+be checked. Sometimes you might wish for a slightly looser amount of validation.
+For example, you may wish to validate the first 3 elements of an array reference
+and allow for an arbitrary number of additional elements. At first thought you
+might think you could do it this way:
+
+ # I want to validate stuff like: [1,"hello", $obj, 2,3,4,5,6,...]
+ subtype AllowTailingArgs,
+ as Tuple[
+ Int,
+ Str,
+ Object,
+ ArrayRef[Int],
+ ];
+
+However what this will actually validate are structures like this:
+
+ [10,"Hello", $obj, [11,12,13,...] ]; # Notice element 4 is an ArrayRef
+
+In order to allow structured validation of, "and then some", arguments, you can
+use the L</slurpy> method against a type constraint. For example:
+
+ use MooseX::Types::Structured qw(Tuple slurpy);
+
+ subtype AllowTailingArgs,
+ as Tuple[
+ Int,
+ Str,
+ Object,
+ slurpy ArrayRef[Int],
+ ];
+
+This will now work as expected, validating ArrayRef structures such as:
+
+ [1,"hello", $obj, 2,3,4,5,6,...]
+
+A few caveats apply. First, the slurpy type constraint must be the last one in
+the list of type constraint parameters. Second, the parent type of the slurpy
+type constraint must match that of the containing type constraint. That means
+that a Tuple can allow a slurpy ArrayRef (or children of ArrayRefs, including
+another Tuple) and a Dict can allow a slurpy HashRef (or children/subtypes of
+HashRef, also including other Dict constraints).
+
+Please note the the technical way this works 'under the hood' is that the
+slurpy keyword transforms the target type constraint into a coderef. Please do
+not try to create your own custom coderefs; always use the slurpy method. The
+underlying technology may change in the future but the slurpy keyword will be
+supported.
+
+=head1 ERROR MESSAGES
+
+Error reporting has been improved to return more useful debugging messages. Now
+I will stringify the incoming check value with L<Devel::PartialDump> so that you
+can see the actual structure that is tripping up validation. Also, I report the
+'internal' validation error, so that if a particular element inside the
+Structured Type is failing validation, you will see that. There's a limit to
+how deep this internal reporting goes, but you shouldn't see any of the "failed
+with ARRAY(XXXXXX)" that we got with earlier versions of this module.
+
+This support is continuing to expand, so it's best to use these messages for
+debugging purposes and not for creating messages that 'escape into the wild'
+such as error messages sent to the user.
+
+Please see the test '12-error.t' for a more lengthy example. Your thoughts and
+preferable tests or code patches very welcome!

=head1 EXAMPLES
Here are some additional example usage for structured types. All examples can

age => ($_->{dob} - 'DateTime'->now)->years,
}};
-
+
has person => (is=>'rw', isa=>Person, coerce=>1);
+And now you can instantiate with all the following:
+
+ __PACKAGE__->new(
+ person=>{
+ name=>'John Napiorkowski',
+ age=>39,
+ },
+ );
+
+ __PACKAGE__->new(
+ person=>{
+ first=>'John',

+ },
+ );
+
+ __PACKAGE__->new(

+ last=>'Napiorkowski'
+ },
+ dob => 'DateTime'->new(
+ year=>1969,
+ month=>2,
+ day=>13
+ ),
+ },
+ );
+
+This technique is a way to support various ways to instantiate your class in a
+clean and declarative way.

-Need to clarify deep coercions, need to clarify subtypes of subtypes.
+Here's a list of stuff I would be happy to get volunteers helping with:
+
+ * All POD examples need test cases in t/documentation/*.t
+ * Want to break out the examples section to a separate cookbook style POD.
+ * Want more examples and best practice / usage guidance for authors
+ * Need to clarify deep coercions,
