NAME
Type::Registry - a glorified hashref for looking up type constraints
SYNOPSIS
package Foo::Bar; use Type::Registry; my $reg = "Type::Registry"->for_me; # a registry for Foo::Bar # Register all types from Types::Standard $reg->add_types(-Standard); # Register just one type from Types::XSD $reg->add_types(-XSD => ["NonNegativeInteger"]); # Register all types from MyApp::Types $reg->add_types("MyApp::Types"); # Create a type alias $reg->alias_type("NonNegativeInteger" => "Count"); # Look up a type constraint my $type = $reg->lookup("ArrayRef[Count]"); $type->check([1, 2, 3.14159]); # croaks
Alternatively:
package Foo::Bar; use Type::Registry qw( t ); # Register all types from Types::Standard t->add_types(-Standard); # Register just one type from Types::XSD t->add_types(-XSD => ["NonNegativeInteger"]); # Register all types from MyApp::Types t->add_types("MyApp::Types"); # Create a type alias t->alias_type("NonNegativeInteger" => "Count"); # Look up a type constraint my $type = t("ArrayRef[Count]"); $type->check([1, 2, 3.14159]); # croaks
STATUS
This module is covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy.
DESCRIPTION
A type registry is basically just a hashref mapping type names to type constraint objects.
Constructors
new
-
Create a new glorified hashref.
for_class($class)
-
Create or return the existing glorified hashref associated with the given class.
Note that any type constraint you have imported from Type::Library-based type libraries will be automatically available in your class' registry.
for_me
-
Create or return the existing glorified hashref associated with the caller.
Methods
add_types(@libraries)
-
The libraries list is treated as an "optlist" (a la Data::OptList).
Strings are the names of type libraries; if the first character is a hyphen, it is expanded to the "Types::" prefix. If followed by an arrayref, this is the list of types to import from that library. Otherwise, imports all types from the library.
use Type::Registry qw(t); t->add_types(-Standard); # OR: t->add_types("Types::Standard"); t->add_types( -TypeTiny => ['HashLike'], -Standard => ['HashRef' => { -as => 'RealHash' }], );
MooseX::Types (and experimentally, MouseX::Types) libraries can also be added this way, but cannot be followed by an arrayref of types to import.
add_type($type, $name)
-
The long-awaited singular form of
add_types
. Given a type constraint object, adds it to the registry with a given name. The name may be omitted, in which case$type->name
is called, and Type::Registry will throw an error if$type
is anonymous. If a name is explicitly given, Type::Registry cares not one wit whether the type constraint is anonymous.This method can even add MooseX::Types and MouseX::Types type constraints; indeed anything that can be handled by Types::TypeTiny's
to_TypeTiny
function. (Bear in mind that to_TypeTiny always results in an anonymous type constraint, so$name
will be required.) alias_type($oldname, $newname)
-
Create an alias for an existing type.
simple_lookup($name)
-
Look up a type in the registry by name.
Returns undef if not found.
foreign_lookup($name)
-
Like
simple_lookup
, but if the type name contains "::", will attempt to load it from a type library. (And will attempt to load that module.) lookup($name)
-
Look up by name, with a DSL.
t->lookup("Int|ArrayRef[Int]")
The DSL can be summed up as:
X type from this registry My::Lib::X type from a type library ~X complementary type X | Y union X & Y intersection X[...] parameterized type slurpy X slurpy type Foo::Bar:: class type
Croaks if not found.
make_union(@constraints)
,make_intersection(@constraints)
,make_class_type($class)
,make_role_type($role)
-
Convenience methods for creating certain common type constraints.
AUTOLOAD
-
Overloaded to call
lookup
.$registry->Str; # like $registry->lookup("Str")
get_parent
,set_parent($reg)
,clear_parent
,has_parent
-
Advanced stuff. Allows a registry to have a "parent" registry which it inherits type constraints from.
Functions
t
-
This class can export a function
t
which acts like"Type::Registry"->for_class($importing_class)
.
