NAME

6       Types::TypeTiny - type constraints used internally by Type::Tiny

STATUS

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

DESCRIPTION

12       Dogfooding.
13
14       This isn't a real Type::Library-based type library; that would involve
15       too much circularity. But it exports some type constraints which, while
16       designed for use within Type::Tiny, may be more generally useful.
17
18   Types
19       •   StringLike
20
21           Accepts strings and objects overloading stringification.
22
23       •   HashLike[`a]
24
25           Accepts hashrefs and objects overloading hashification.
26
27           Since Types::TypeTiny 1.012, may be parameterized with another type
28           constraint like HashLike[Int].
29
30       •   ArrayLike[`a]
31
32           Accepts arrayrefs and objects overloading arrayfication.
33
34           Since Types::TypeTiny 1.012, may be parameterized with another type
35           constraint like ArrayLike[Int].
36
37       •   CodeLike
38
39           Accepts coderefs and objects overloading codification.
40
41       •   TypeTiny
42
43           Accepts blessed Type::Tiny objects.
44
45       •   _ForeignTypeConstraint
46
47           Any reference which to_TypeTiny recognizes as something that can be
48           coerced to a Type::Tiny object.
49
50           Yes, the underscore is included.
51
52   Coercion Functions
53       "to_TypeTiny($constraint)"
54           Promotes (or "demotes" if you prefer) a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
55           object to a Type::Tiny object.
56
57           Can also handle Validation::Class objects. Type constraints built
58           from Validation::Class objects deliberately ignore field filters
59           when they do constraint checking (and go to great lengths to do
60           so); using filters for coercion only. (The behaviour of "coerce" if
61           we don't do that is just too weird!)
62
63           Can also handle any object providing "check" and "get_message"
64           methods.  (This includes Mouse::Meta::TypeConstraint objects.) If
65           the object also provides "has_coercion" and "coerce" methods, these
66           will be used too.
67
68           Can also handle coderefs (but not blessed coderefs or objects
69           overloading "&{}"). Coderefs are expected to return true iff $_
70           passes the constraint. If $_ fails the type constraint, they may
71           either return false, or die with a helpful error message.
72
73   Methods
74       These are implemented so that "Types::TypeTiny->meta->get_type($foo)"
75       works, for rough compatibility with a real Type::Library type library.
76
77       "meta"
78       "type_names"
79       "get_type($name)"
80       "has_type($name)"
81       "coercion_names"
82       "get_coercion($name)"
83       "has_coercion($name)"
84
