NAME

MooseX::Types::Data::Serializer - A Data::Serializer type library for Moose.

SYNOPSIS

package MyClass;
use Moose;
use MooseX::Types::Data::Serializer;

has serializer => (
    is       => 'ro',
    isa      => 'Data::Serializer',
    required => 1,
    coerce   => 1,
);

has raw_serializer => (
    is       => 'ro',
    isa      => 'Data::Serializer::Raw',
    required => 1,
    coerce   => 1,
);

# String will be coerced in to a Data::Serializer object:
MyClass->new(
    serializer     => 'YAML',
    raw_serializer => 'Storable',
);

# Hashref will be coerced as well:
MyClass->new(
    serializer => { serializer => 'YAML', digester => 'MD5' },
    raw_serializer => { serializer => 'Storable' },
);

use MooseX::Types::Data::Serializer qw( Serializer RawSerializer );
my $serializer = to_Serializer( 'YAML' );
my $raw_serializer = to_RawSerializer({ serializer=>'Storable', digester=>'MD5' });
if (is_Serializer($serializer)) { ... }
if (is_RawSerializer($raw_serializer)) { ... }

DESCRIPTION

This module provides Data::Serializer types and coercians for Moose attributes.

Two standard Moose types are provided; Data::Serializer and Data::Serializer::Raw. In addition, two other MooseX::Types types are provided; Serializer and RawSerializer.

See the MooseX::Types documentation for details on how that works.

TYPES

Data::Serializer

This is a standard Moose type that provides coercion from a string or a hashref. If a string is passed then it is used for the 'serializer' argumen to Data::Serializer->new(). If a hashref is being coerced from then it will be de-referenced and used as the arguments to Data::Serializer->new().

Data::Serializer::Raw

This type works just like Data::Serializer, but for the Data::Serializer::Raw module.

Serializer

This is a MooseX::Types type that works just like the Data::Serializer type.

RawSerializer

Just like the Serializer type, but for Data::Serializer::Raw.
