NAME

HTML::FormHandler::Types - Moose type constraints

VERSION

version 0.40068

SYNOPSIS

These types are provided by MooseX::Types. These types must not be quoted when they are used:

            

              
              
has 'posint' => ( is => 'rw', isa => PositiveInt);
has_field 'email' => ( apply => [ Email ] );
            
          

Types declared using Moose::Util::TypeConstraints, on the other hand, must be quoted:

            

              
              
has_field 'text_both' => ( apply => [ PositiveInt, 'GreaterThan10' ] );
            
          

To import these types into your forms, you must either specify (':all') or list the types you want to use:

            

              
              
use HTML::FormHandler::Types (':all');
            
          

or:

            

              
              
use HTML::FormHandler::Types ('Email', 'PositiveInt');
            
          

DESCRIPTION

It would be possible to import the MooseX types (Common, etc), but for now we'll just re-implement them here in order to be able to change the messages and keep control of what types we provide.

From MooseX::Types::Common:

            

              
              
'PositiveNum', 'PositiveInt', 'NegativeNum', 'NegativeInt', 'SingleDigit',
'SimpleStr', 'NonEmptySimpleStr', 'Password', 'StrongPassword', 'NonEmptyStr',
            
          

Type Constraints

These types check the value and issue an error message.

Email

State

IPAddress

Type Coercions

These types will transform the value without an error message;
