NAME
MooX::Types::MooseLike::Base - Moose like types for Moo
SYNOPSIS
package MyPackage;
use Moo;
use MooX::Types::MooseLike::Base qw(:all);
has "beers_by_day_of_week" => (
isa => HashRef
);
has "current_BAC" => (
isa => Num
);
# Also supporting is_$type. For example, is_Int() can be used as follows
has 'legal_age' => (
is => 'ro',
isa => sub { die "$_[0] is not of legal age"
unless (is_Int($_[0]) && $_[0] > 17) },
);DESCRIPTION
Moo attributes (like Moose) have an 'isa' property. This module provides some basic types for this property. One can import all types with ':all' tag or import a list of types like:
use MooX::Types::MooseLike::Base qw/HashRef CodeRef/;so one could then declare some attributtes like:
has 'contact' => (
is => 'ro',
isa => HashRef,
);
has 'guest_list' => (
is => 'ro',
isa => ArrayRef,
);
has 'records' => (
is => 'ro',
isa => ArrayRef[Int],
);These types provide a check that the contact attribute is a hash reference, that the guest_list is an array reference, and that the records are an array of hash references.

PARAMETERIZED TYPES
Parameterizing Types With Other Types
The following types can be parameterized with other types.
ArrayRef
For example, ArrayRef[HashRef]
HashRef
ScalarRef
Maybe
For example, Maybe[Int] would be an integer or undef
Parameterizing Types With Strings
In addition, we have some parameterized types that take string arguments.
InstanceOf
Takes a class name as the argument. For example:
isa => InstanceOf['MyClass']ConsumerOf
Takes a list of role names as the arguments. For example:
isa => ConsumerOf['My::Role', 'My::AnotherRole'] HasMethods
Takes a list of method names as the arguments. For example:
isa => HasMethods[qw/postulate contemplate liberate/]AUTHOR
