DESCRIPTION

13   Methods
14       The following methods exist for Type::Tiny::Class, Type::Tiny::Role,
15       Type::Tiny::Duck, and any type constraints that inherit from "Object"
16       or "Overload" in Types::Standard.
17
18       These methods will also work for Type::Tiny::Intersection if at least
19       one of the types in the intersection provides these methods.
20
21       These methods will also work for Type::Tiny::Union if all of the types
22       in the union provide these methods.
23
24       "stringifies_to($constraint)"
25           Generates a new child type constraint which checks the object's
26           stringification against a constraint. For example:
27
28              my $type  = Type::Tiny::Class->new(class => 'URI');
29              my $child = $type->stringifies_to( StrMatch[qr/^http:/] );
30
31              $child->assert_valid( URI->new("http://example.com/") );
32
33           In the above example, $child is a type constraint that checks
34           objects are blessed into (or inherit from) the URI class, and when
35           stringified (e.g. though overloading) the result matches the
36           regular expression "qr/^http:/".
37
38           $constraint may be a type constraint, something that can be coerced
39           to a type constraint (such as a coderef returning a boolean), a
40           string of Perl code operating on $_, or a reference to a regular
41           expression.
42
43           So the following would work:
44
45              my $child = $type->stringifies_to( sub { qr/^http:/ } );
46              my $child = $type->stringifies_to(       qr/^http:/   );
47              my $child = $type->stringifies_to(       'm/^http:/'  );
48
49              my $child = $type->where('"$_" =~ /^http:/');
50
51       "numifies_to($constraint)"
52           The same as "stringifies_to" but checks numification.
53
54           The following might be useful:
55
56              use Types::Standard qw(Int Overload);
57              my $IntLike = Int | Overload->numifies_to(Int)
58
59       "with_attribute_values($attr1 => $constraint1, ...)"
60           This is best explained with an example:
61
62              use Types::Standard qw(InstanceOf StrMatch);
63              use Types::Common::Numeric qw(IntRange);
64
65              my $person = InstanceOf['Local::Human'];
66              my $woman  = $person->with_attribute_values(
67                 gender   => StrMatch[ qr/^F/i  ],
68                 age      => IntRange[ 18 => () ],
69              );
70
71              $woman->assert_valid($alice);
72
73           This assertion will firstly check that $alice is a Local::Human,
74           then check that "$alice->gender" starts with an "F", and lastly
75           check that "$alice->age" is an integer at least 18.
76
77           Again, constraints can be type constraints, coderefs, strings of
78           Perl code, or regular expressions.
79
80           Technically the "attributes" don't need to be Moo/Moose/Mouse
81           attributes, but any methods which can be called with no parameters
82           and return a scalar.
