Type::Tiny::ConstrainedObject(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation NAME Type::Tiny::ConstrainedObject - shared behavour for Type::Tiny::Class, etc STATUS This module is considered experiemental. DESCRIPTION Methods The following methods exist for Type::Tiny::Class, Type::Tiny::Role, Type::Tiny::Duck, and any type constraints that inherit from "Object" or "Overload" in Types::Standard. These methods will also work for Type::Tiny::Intersection if at least one of the types in the intersection provides these methods. These methods will also work for Type::Tiny::Union if all of the types in the union provide these methods. stringifies_to($constraint) Generates a new child type constraint which checks the object's stringification against a constraint. For example: my $type = Type::Tiny::Class->new(class => 'URI'); my $child = $type->stringifies_to( StrMatch[qr/^http:/] ); $child->assert_valid( URI->new("http://example.com/") ); In the above example, $child is a type constraint that checks objects are blessed into (or inherit from) the URI class, and when stringified (e.g. though overloading) the result matches the regular expression "qr/^http:/". $constraint may be a type constraint, something that can be coerced to a type constraint (such as a coderef returning a boolean), a string of Perl code operating on $_, or a reference to a regular expression. So the following would work: my $child = $type->stringifies_to( sub { qr/^http:/ } ); my $child = $type->stringifies_to( qr/^http:/ ); my $child = $type->stringifies_to( 'm/^http:/' ); my $child = $type->where('"$_" =~ /^http:/'); numifies_to($constraint) The same as "stringifies_to" but checks numification. The following might be useful: use Types::Standard qw(Int Overload); my $IntLike = Int | Overload->numifies_to(Int) "with_attribute_values($attr1 => $constraint1, ...)" This is best explained with an example: use Types::Common qw( InstanceOf StrMatch IntRange ); my $person = InstanceOf['Local::Human']; my $woman = $person->with_attribute_values( gender => StrMatch[ qr/^F/i ], age => IntRange[ 18 => () ], ); $woman->assert_valid($alice); This assertion will firstly check that $alice is a Local::Human, then check that "$alice->gender" starts with an "F", and lastly check that "$alice->age" is an integer at least 18. Again, constraints can be type constraints, coderefs, strings of Perl code, or regular expressions. Technically the "attributes" don't need to be Moo/Moose/Mouse attributes, but any methods which can be called with no parameters and return a scalar. BUGS Please report any bugs to .
