Type::Tiny::Class - phpMan

NAME
    Type::Tiny::Class - type constraints based on the "isa" method

STATUS
    This module is covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy.

DESCRIPTION
    Type constraints of the general form "{ $_->isa("Some::Class") }".

    This package inherits from Type::Tiny; see that for most documentation.
    Major differences are listed below:

  Constructor
    "new"
        When the constructor is called on an *instance* of
        Type::Tiny::Class, it passes the call through to the constructor of
        the class for the constraint. So for example:

           my $type = Type::Tiny::Class->new(class => "Foo::Bar");
           my $obj  = $type->new(hello => "World");
           say ref($obj);   # prints "Foo::Bar"

        This little bit of DWIM was borrowed from
        MooseX::Types::TypeDecorator, but Type::Tiny doesn't take the idea
        quite as far.

  Attributes
    "class"
        The class for the constraint.

    "constraint"
        Unlike Type::Tiny, you *cannot* pass a constraint coderef to the
        constructor. Instead rely on the default.

    "inlined"
        Unlike Type::Tiny, you *cannot* pass an inlining coderef to the
        constructor. Instead rely on the default.

    "parent"
        Parent is automatically calculated, and cannot be passed to the
        constructor.

  Methods
    "plus_constructors($source, $method_name)"
        Much like "plus_coercions" but adds coercions that go via a
        constructor. (In fact, this is implemented as a wrapper for
        "plus_coercions".)

        Example:

           package MyApp::Minion;

           use Moose; extends "MyApp::Person";

           use Types::Standard qw( HashRef Str );
           use Type::Utils qw( class_type );

           my $Person = class_type({ class => "MyApp::Person" });

           has boss => (
              is     => "ro",
              isa    => $Person->plus_constructors(
                 HashRef,     "new",
                 Str,         "_new_from_name",
              ),
              coerce => 1,
           );

           package main;

           MyApp::Minion->new(
              ...,
              boss => "Bob",  ## via MyApp::Person->_new_from_name
           );

           MyApp::Minion->new(
              ...,
              boss => { name => "Bob" },  ## via MyApp::Person->new
           );

        Because coercing "HashRef" via constructor is a common desire, if
        you call "plus_constructors" with no arguments at all, this is the
        default.

           $classtype->plus_constructors(HashRef, "new")
           $classtype->plus_constructors()  ## identical to above

        This is handy for Moose/Mouse/Moo-based classes.
