=head1 DESCRIPTION
The types provided with L<Moose> are by design global. This package helps
you to organise and selectively import your own and the built-in types in
libraries. As a nice side effect, it catches typos at compile-time too.
However, the main reason for this module is to provide an easy way to not
have conflicts with your type names, since the internal fully qualified
names of the types will be prefixed with the library's name.
This module will also provide you with some helper functions to make it
easier to use Moose types in your code.
String type names will produce a warning, unless it's for a C<class_type> or
C<role_type> declared within the library, or a fully qualified name like
C<'MyTypeLibrary::Foo'>.
=head1 TYPE HANDLER FUNCTIONS
=head2 $type
A constant with the name of your type. It contains the type's fully
qualified name. Takes no value, as all constants.
=head2 is_$type
This handler takes a value and tests if it is a valid value for this
C<$type>. It will return true or false.
=head2 to_$type
A handler that will take a value and coerce it into the C<$type>. It will
return a false value if the type could not be coerced.
B<Important Note>: This handler will only be exported for types that can
do type coercion. This has the advantage that a coercion to a type that
cannot hasn't defined any coercions will lead to a compile-time error.
=head1 LIBRARY DEFINITION
A MooseX::Types is just a normal Perl module. Unlike Moose
itself, it does not install C<use strict> and C<use warnings> in your
class by default, so this is up to you.
The only thing a library is required to do is
use MooseX::Types -declare => \@types;
with C<@types> being a list of types you wish to define in this library.
This line will install a proper base class in your package as well as the
full set of L<handlers|/"TYPE HANDLER FUNCTIONS"> for your declared
types. It will then hand control over to L<Moose::Util::TypeConstraints>'
C<import> method to export the functions you will need to declare your
types.
If you want to use Moose' built-in types (e.g. for subtyping) you will
want to
use MooseX::Types::Moose @types;
to import the helpers from the shipped L<MooseX::Types::Moose>
library which can export all types that come with Moose.
You will have to define coercions for your types or your library won't
export a L</to_$type> coercion helper for it.
Note that you currently cannot define types containing C<::>, since
exporting would be a problem.
You also don't need to use C<warnings> and C<strict>, since the
definition of a library automatically exports those.
=head1 LIBRARY USAGE
You can import the L<"type helpers"|/"TYPE HANDLER FUNCTIONS"> of a
library by C<use>ing it with a list of types to import as arguments. If
you want all of them, use the C<:all> tag. For example:
use MyLibrary ':all';
use MyOtherLibrary qw( TypeA TypeB );
MooseX::Types comes with a library of Moose' built-in types called
L<MooseX::Types::Moose>.
The exporting mechanism is, since version 0.5, implemented via a wrapper
around L<Sub::Exporter>. This means you can do something like this:
use MyLibrary TypeA => { -as => 'MyTypeA' },
TypeB => { -as => 'MyTypeB' };
=head1 WRAPPING A LIBRARY
You can define your own wrapper subclasses to manipulate the behaviour
of a set of library exports. Here is an example:
package MyWrapper;
use strict;
use MRO::Compat;
use base 'MooseX::Types::Wrapper';
sub coercion_export_generator {
my $class = shift;
my $code = $class->next::method(@_);
return sub {
my $value = $code->(@_);
warn "Coercion returned undef!"
unless defined $value;
return $value;
};
}
1;
This class wraps the coercion generator (e.g., C<to_Int()>) and warns
if a coercion returned an undefined value. You can wrap any library
with this:
package Foo;
use strict;
use MyWrapper MyLibrary => [qw( Foo Bar )],
Moose => [qw( Str Int )];
...
1;
The C<Moose> library name is a special shortcut for
L<MooseX::Types::Moose>.
=head2 Generator methods you can overload
=over 4
=item type_export_generator( $short, $full )
Creates a closure returning the type's L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>
object.
=item check_export_generator( $short, $full, $undef_message )
This creates the closure used to test if a value is valid for this type.
=item coercion_export_generator( $short, $full, $undef_message )
This is the closure that's doing coercions.
=back
=head2 Provided Parameters
=over 4
=item $short
The short, exported name of the type.
=item $full
The fully qualified name of this type as L<Moose> knows it.
=item $undef_message
A message that will be thrown when type functionality is used but the
type does not yet exist.
=back
=head1 RECURSIVE SUBTYPES
As of version 0.08, L<Moose::Types> has experimental support for Recursive
subtypes. This will allow:
subtype Tree() => as HashRef[Str|Tree];
Which validates things like:
{key=>'value'};
{key=>{subkey1=>'value', subkey2=>'value'}}
And so on. This feature is new and there may be lurking bugs so don't be afraid
to hunt me down with patches and test cases if you have trouble.
=head1 NOTES REGARDING TYPE UNIONS
L<MooseX::Types> uses L<MooseX::Types::TypeDecorator> to do some overloading
which generally allows you to easily create union types:
subtype StrOrArrayRef,
as Str|ArrayRef;
As with parameterized constrains, this overloading extends to modules using the
types you define in a type library.
use Moose;
use MooseX::Types::Moose qw(HashRef Int);
has 'attr' => (isa=>HashRef|Int);
And everything should just work as you'd think.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 import
Installs the L<MooseX::Types::Base> class into the caller and
exports types according to the specification described in
L</"LIBRARY DEFINITION">. This will continue to
L<Moose::Util::TypeConstraints>' C<import> method to export helper
functions you will need to declare your types.
=cut
sub import {
my ($class, %args) = @_;
my $callee = caller;
# everyone should want this
strict->import;
warnings->import;
# inject base class into new library
{ no strict 'refs';
unshift @{ $callee . '::ISA' }, 'MooseX::Types::Base';
}
# generate predeclared type helpers
if (my @orig_declare = @{ $args{ -declare } || [] }) {
my ($tags, $declare) = filter_tags @orig_declare;
my @to_export;
for my $type (@$declare) {
croak "Cannot create a type containing '::' ($type) at the moment"
if $type =~ /::/;
# add type to library and remember to export
$callee->add_type($type);
push @to_export, $type;
}
$callee->import({ -full => 1, -into => $callee }, @to_export);
}
# run type constraints import
Moose::Util::TypeConstraints->import({ into => $callee });
# override some with versions that check for syntax errors
MooseX::Types::CheckedUtilExports->import({ into => $callee });
1;
}
=head2 type_export_generator
Generate a type export, e.g. C<Int()>. This will return either a
L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object, or alternatively a
L<MooseX::Types::UndefinedType> object if the type was not
yet defined.
=cut
sub type_export_generator {
my ($class, $type, $name) = @_;
## Return an anonymous subroutine that will generate the proxied type
## constraint for you.
return subname "__TYPE__::$name" => sub {
my $type_constraint = $class->create_base_type_constraint($name);
if(defined(my $params = shift @_)) {
## We currently only allow a TC to accept a single, ArrayRef
## parameter, as in HashRef[Int], where [Int] is what's inside the
## ArrayRef passed.
if(reftype $params eq 'ARRAY') {
$type_constraint = $class->create_arged_type_constraint($name, @$params);
} elsif(!defined $type_constraint) {
croak "Syntax error in type definition (did you forget a comma"
. " after $type?)";
} else {
croak "Argument must be an ArrayRef to create a parameterized "
. "type, Eg.: ${type}[Int]. Got: ".ref($params)."."
}
}
$type_constraint = defined($type_constraint) ? $type_constraint
: MooseX::Types::UndefinedType->new($name);
my $type_decorator = $class->create_type_decorator($type_constraint);
## If there are additional args, that means it's probably stuff that
## needs to be returned to the subtype. Not an ideal solution here but
## doesn't seem to cause trouble.
if(@_) {
return ($type_decorator, @_);
} else {
return $type_decorator;
}
};
}
=head2 create_arged_type_constraint ($name, @args)
Given a String $name with @args find the matching typeconstraint and parameterize
it with @args.
=cut
sub create_arged_type_constraint {
my ($class, $name, @args) = @_;
my $type_constraint = Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::find_or_create_type_constraint("$name");
my $parameterized = $type_constraint->parameterize(@args);
# It's obnoxious to have to parameterize before looking for the TC, but the
# alternative is to hard-code the assumption that the name is
# "$name[$args[0]]", which would be worse.
# This breaks MXMS, unfortunately, which relies on things like Tuple[...]
# creating new type objects each time.
# if (my $existing =
# Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::find_type_constraint($parameterized->name)) {
# return $existing;
# }
# Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::register_type_constraint($parameterized);
return $parameterized;
}
=head2 create_base_type_constraint ($name)
Given a String $name, find the matching typeconstraint.
=cut
sub create_base_type_constraint {
my ($class, $name) = @_;
return find_type_constraint($name);
}
=head2 create_type_decorator ($type_constraint)
Given a $type_constraint, return a lightweight L<MooseX::Types::TypeDecorator>
instance.
=cut
sub create_type_decorator {
my ($class, $type_constraint) = @_;
return MooseX::Types::TypeDecorator->new($type_constraint);
}
=head2 coercion_export_generator
This generates a coercion handler function, e.g. C<to_Int($value)>.
=cut
sub coercion_export_generator {
my ($class, $type, $full, $undef_msg) = @_;
return sub {
my ($value) = @_;
# we need a type object
my $tobj = find_type_constraint($full) or croak $undef_msg;
my $return = $tobj->coerce($value);
# non-successful coercion returns false
return unless $tobj->check($return);
return $return;
}
}
=head2 check_export_generator
Generates a constraint check closure, e.g. C<is_Int($value)>.
=cut
sub check_export_generator {
my ($class, $type, $full, $undef_msg) = @_;
return sub {
my ($value) = @_;
# we need a type object
my $tobj = find_type_constraint($full) or croak $undef_msg;
return $tobj->check($value);
}
}
=head1 CAVEATS
The following are lists of gotcha's and their workarounds for developers coming
from the standard string based type constraint names
=head2 Uniqueness
A library makes the types quasi-unique by prefixing their names with (by
default) the library package name. If you're only using the type handler
functions provided by MooseX::Types, you shouldn't ever have to use
a type's actual full name.
=head2 Argument separation ('=>' versus ',')
The Perlop manpage has this to say about the '=>' operator: "The => operator is
a synonym for the comma, but forces any word (consisting entirely of word
characters) to its left to be interpreted as a string (as of 5.001). This
includes words that might otherwise be considered a constant or function call."
Due to this stringification, the following will NOT work as you might think:
subtype StrOrArrayRef => as Str|ArrayRef;
The 'StrOrArrayRef' will have it's stringification activated this causes the
subtype to not be created. Since the bareword type constraints are not strings
you really should not try to treat them that way. You will have to use the ','
operator instead. The author's of this package realize that all the L<Moose>
documention and examples nearly uniformly use the '=>' version of the comma
operator and this could be an issue if you are converting code.
Patches welcome for discussion.
=head2 Compatibility with Sub::Exporter
If you want to use L<Sub::Exporter> with a Type Library, you need to make sure
you export all the type constraints declared AS WELL AS any additional export
targets. For example if you do:
package TypeAndSubExporter; {
use MooseX::Types::Moose qw(Str);
use MooseX::Types -declare => [qw(MyStr)];
use Sub::Exporter -setup => { exports => [ qw(something) ] };
subtype MyStr,
as Str;
sub something {
return 1;
}
} 1;
package Foo; {
use TypeAndSubExporter qw(MyStr);
} 1;
You'll get a '"MyStr" is not exported by the TypeAndSubExporter module' error.
Upi can workaround by:
- use Sub::Exporter -setup => { exports => [ qw(something) ] };
+ use Sub::Exporter -setup => { exports => [ qw(something MyStr) ] };
This is a workaround and I am exploring how to make these modules work better
together. I realize this workaround will lead a lot of duplication in your
export declarations and will be onerous for large type libraries. Patches and
detailed test cases welcome. See the tests directory for a start on this.
