use Coerce::Types::Standard qw/Str HashRef ArrayRef StrToHash StrToArray/;

attributes(
	[qw/sleep/] => [StrToHash->by(' '), {coe}]
);

Exports

Coerce::Types::Standard extends Types::Standard it exports Nothing by default. The following outlines the additional types that can be exported using this module.

StrToArray

Accepts a string and coerces it into a ArrayRef, You can specify how to split the string by instantiating with *by*.

StrToArray->by('--')->coerce('mid--flight--documenter');
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
[qw/mid flight documenter/]

StrToHash

Accepts a string and coerces it into a HashRef, You can specify how to split the string by instantiating with *by*.

StrToHash->by(", ")->coerce('I, drink, way, too, much, coffee');
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
{
	I => 'drink',
	way => 'too',
	much => 'coffee',
}

StrSR

Accepts a string and coerces via a search and replace regex generated by the arrayref passed into *by*, optionally the second argument can also be a callback function.

StrSR->by(['-', ':'])->coerce('beach_bar');
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
'beach:bar'

ArrayToHash

Accepts an ArrayRef and coerces it into a HashRef, the default behaviour here is to just dereference the array into a hash.

ArrayToHash->coerce([qw/north south east west/]);
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
{
	north => 'south',
	east => 'west'
}

You can also instantiate this object via *by* and passing in a *mode*, currently the following are your options.

odd

Only build my hash out of the odd **index** of the array (1, 3, 5, 7 .....)

ArrayToHash->by('odd')->coerce([qw/zero one two three/]);
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
{
	one => 'three',
}
even

Only build my hash out of the even **index** of the array (0, 2, 4, 6 .....)

ArrayToHash->by('even')->coerce([qw/zero one two three/]);
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
{
	zero => 'two',
}
reverse

Reverse the default behavior so keys are values and values are keys.

ArrayToHash->by('reverse')->coerce([qw/north south east west/]);
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
{
	south => 'north',
	west => 'east'
}
flat

Should convert any struct into a one level Hash.

ArrayToHash->by('flat')->coerce([{ ux => 'ui', analyst => [qw/document support meeting/] }, [qw/sysAdmin backend db deploy/]]);	
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
{
	analyst => 'document',
	ux => 'ui',
	support => 'meeting',
	db => 'deploy',
	sysAdmin => 'backend'
}
merge

Simple single level merge of an array of hash references.

ArrayToHash->by('merge')->coerce([{ simple => 'merge' }, { simple => 'life' }]);
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
{
	simple => 'life'
}

HashToArray

Accepts a HashRef and coerces it into a ArrayRef, the default behaviour here is to just dereference the hash into a array.

HashToArray->coerce({ 
	Malaysia => 'KL', 
	Austrailia => 'Sydney',   
	Indonesia => 'Bali',
});
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
[qw/Austrailia Sydney Indonesia Bali Malaysia KL/]

You can also instantiate this object via *by* and passing in a *mode*, currently the following are your options.

keys

Only coerce the hash references keys into an array refernce.

HashToArray->by('keys')->coerce({ 
	Malaysia => 'KL', 
	Austrailia => 'Sydney',   
	Indonesia => 'Bali',
});
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
[qw/Austrailia Indonesia Malaysia/]
values

Only coerce the hash references values into an array refernce.

HashToArray->by('values')->coerce({ 
	Malaysia => 'KL', 
	Austrailia => 'Sydney',   
	Indonesia => 'Bali',
});
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
[qw/Bali KL Sydney/]
flat

Should convert any struct into a single level Array.

HashToArray->by('flat')->coerce({ ux => ['ui'], analyst => [qw/document support meeting/] });	
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
[
	qw/analyst document support meeting ux ui/
]

HTML

Accepts a String and coerces it into entity encoded/decoded string, the default behaviour here is to entity encode the given string.

HTML->coerce('okay&');
