=head1 NAME
Moose::Cookbook::Snack::Types - Snippets of code for using Types and Type Constraints
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package Point;
use Moose;
has 'x' => (isa => 'Int', is => 'ro' );
has 'y' => (isa => 'Int', is => 'rw' );
package main;
my $point = eval {
Point->new(x => 'fifty', y => 'fourty');
};
if($@) {
print "Oops: $@";
}
my $point;
my $xval = 'fourty-two';
my $xattribute = Point->meta->find_attribute_by_name('x');
my $xtype_constraint = $xattribute->type_constraint;
if($xtype_constraint->check($xval)) {
$point = Point->new(x => $xval, y => 0);
} else {
print "Value: $xval is not an " . $xtype_constraint->name . "\n";
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is the Point example from (L<Moose::Cookbook::Recipe1>) with added
type checking.
If we try to assign a string value to an attribute that is defined as
being of type Int, Moose will die with an explicit error message
saying which attribute failed which type constaint with which
value. The eval example catches this message and displays it.
The second example fetches the type constraint instance and asks it to
check the value we are about to set, before we try and set it.
