NAME
Types::TypeTiny - type constraints used internally by Type::Tiny
STATUS
This module is covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy.
DESCRIPTION
Dogfooding.
This isn't a real Type::Library-based type library; that would involve
too much circularity. But it exports some type constraints which, while
designed for use within Type::Tiny, may be more generally useful.
Types
* StringLike
Accepts strings and objects overloading stringification.
* HashLike[`a]
Accepts hashrefs and objects overloading hashification.
Since Types::TypeTiny 1.012, may be parameterized with another type
constraint like HashLike[Int].
* ArrayLike[`a]
Accepts arrayrefs and objects overloading arrayfication.
Since Types::TypeTiny 1.012, may be parameterized with another type
constraint like ArrayLike[Int].
* CodeLike
Accepts coderefs and objects overloading codification.
* TypeTiny
Accepts blessed Type::Tiny objects.
* _ForeignTypeConstraint
Any reference which to_TypeTiny recognizes as something that can be
coerced to a Type::Tiny object.
Yes, the underscore is included.
Coercion Functions
"to_TypeTiny($constraint)"
Promotes (or "demotes" if you prefer) a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
object to a Type::Tiny object.
Can also handle Validation::Class objects. Type constraints built
from Validation::Class objects deliberately *ignore* field filters
when they do constraint checking (and go to great lengths to do so);
using filters for coercion only. (The behaviour of "coerce" if we
don't do that is just too weird!)
Can also handle any object providing "check" and "get_message"
methods. (This includes Mouse::Meta::TypeConstraint objects.) If the
object also provides "has_coercion" and "coerce" methods, these will
be used too.
Can also handle coderefs (but not blessed coderefs or objects
overloading "&{}"). Coderefs are expected to return true iff $_
passes the constraint. If $_ fails the type constraint, they may
either return false, or die with a helpful error message.
Methods
These are implemented so that "Types::TypeTiny->meta->get_type($foo)"
works, for rough compatibility with a real Type::Library type library.
"meta"
"type_names"
"get_type($name)"
"has_type($name)"
"coercion_names"
"get_coercion($name)"
"has_coercion($name)"
