12 ### specification of type constraint with coercion
13
14 package Foo;
15
16 use Moose;
17 use MooseX::Types::Path::Tiny qw/Path Paths AbsPath/;
18
19 has filename => (
20 is => 'ro',
21 isa => Path,
22 coerce => 1,
23 );
24
25 has directory => (
26 is => 'ro',
27 isa => AbsPath,
28 coerce => 1,
29 );
30
31 has filenames => (
32 is => 'ro',
33 isa => Paths,
34 coerce => 1,
35 );
36
37 ### usage in code
38
39 Foo->new( filename => 'foo.txt' ); # coerced to Path::Tiny
40 Foo->new( directory => '.' ); # coerced to path('.')->absolute
41 Foo->new( filenames => [qw/bar.txt baz.txt/] ); # coerced to ArrayRef[Path::Tiny]
42
44 This module provides Path::Tiny types for Moose. It handles two
45 important types of coercion:
46
47 · coercing objects with overloaded stringification
48
49 · coercing to absolute paths
50
51 It also can check to ensure that files or directories exist.
52
54 This module uses MooseX::Types to define the following subtypes.
55
56 Path
57 "Path" ensures an attribute is a Path::Tiny object. Strings and
58 objects with overloaded stringification may be coerced.
59
60 AbsPath
61 "AbsPath" is a subtype of "Path" (above), but coerces to an absolute
62 path.
63
64 File, AbsFile
65 These are just like "Path" and "AbsPath", except they check "-f" to
66 ensure the file actually exists on the filesystem.
67
68 Dir, AbsDir
69 These are just like "Path" and "AbsPath", except they check "-d" to
70 ensure the directory actually exists on the filesystem.
71
72 Paths, AbsPaths
73 These are arrayrefs of "Path" and "AbsPath", and include coercions from
74 arrayrefs of strings.
75
77 Path vs File vs Dir
78 "Path" just ensures you have a Path::Tiny object.
79
80 "File" and "Dir" check the filesystem. Don't use them unless that's
81 really what you want.
82
83 Usage with File::Temp
84 Be careful if you pass in a File::Temp object. Because the argument is
85 stringified during coercion into a Path::Tiny object, no reference to
86 the original File::Temp argument is held. Be sure to hold an external
87 reference to it to avoid immediate cleanup of the temporary file or
88 directory at the end of the enclosing scope.
89
90 A better approach is to use Path::Tiny's own "tempfile" or "tempdir"
91 constructors, which hold the reference for you.
92
93 Foo->new( filename => Path::Tiny->tempfile );
