NAME

Data::Object - Data Type Objects for Perl 5

VERSION

version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

use Data::Object 'deduce';

my $object = deduce [1..9];

$object->count; # 9

DESCRIPTION

Data::Object provides functions for promoting Perl 5 native data types to objects which provide common methods for operating on the data.

FUNCTIONS

load

# given 'List::Util';

$package = load 'List::Util'; # List::Util if loaded

The load function attempts to dynamically load a module and either dies or returns the package name of the loaded module.

deduce

# given qr/\w+/;

$object = deduce qr/\w+/;
$object->isa('Data::Object::Scalar');

The deduce function returns a data type object instance based upon the deduced type of data provided.

type_array

# given [2..5];

$object = type_array [2..5];
$object->isa('Data::Object::Array');

The type_array function returns a Data::Object::Array instance which wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on the data.

type_code

# given sub { 1 };

$object = type_code sub { 1 };
$object->isa('Data::Object::Code');

The type_code function returns a Data::Object::Code instance which wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on the data.

type_float

# given 5.25;

$object = type_float 5.25;
$object->isa('Data::Object::Float');

The type_float function returns a Data::Object::Float instance which wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on the data.

type_hash

# given {1..4};

$object = type_hash {1..4};
$object->isa('Data::Object::Hash');

The type_hash function returns a Data::Object::Hash instance which wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on the data.

type_integer

# given 100;

$object = type_integer 100;
$object->isa('Data::Object::Integer');

The type_integer function returns a Data::Object::Object instance which wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on the data.

type_number

# given "-900";

$object = type_number "-900";

The type_number function returns a Data::Object::Number instance which wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on the data.

type_scalar

# given qr/\w+/;

$object = type_scalar qr/\w+/;
$object->isa('Data::Object::Scalar');

The type_scalar function returns a Data::Object::Scalar instance which wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on the data.

type_string

# given 'abcdefghi';

$object = type_string 'abcdefghi';
$object->isa('Data::Object::String');

The type_string function returns a Data::Object::String instance which wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on the data.

type_undef

# given undef;

$object = type_undef undef;
$object->isa('Data::Object::Undef');

The type_undef function returns a Data::Object::Undef instance which wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on the data.

type_universal

# given 0;

$object = type_universal 0;
$object->isa('Data::Object::Universal');

The type_universal function returns a Data::Object::Universal instance which wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on the data.
