NAME

MooX::Types::MooseLike - some Moosish types and a type builder

SYNOPSIS

package MyApp::Types;
use MooX::Types::MooseLike;
use base qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT_OK = ();

# Define some types
my $defs = [{
  name => 'MyType',
  test => sub { predicate($_[0]) },
  message => sub { "$_[0] is not the type we want!" }
},
{
  name => 'VarChar',
  test => sub {
    my ($value, $param) = @_;
    length($value) <= $param;
  },
  message => sub { "$_[0] is too large! It should be less than or equal to $_[1]." }
}];

# Make the types available - this adds them to @EXPORT_OK automatically.
MooX::Types::MooseLike::register_types($defs, __PACKAGE__);

...

# Somewhere in code that uses the type
package MyApp::Foo;
use Moo;
use MyApp::Types qw(MyType VarChar);
has attribute => (
  is  => 'ro',
  isa => MyType,
);

has string => (
  is  => 'ro',
  isa => VarChar[25]
);

DESCRIPTION

See MooX::Types::MooseLike::Base for a list of available base types. Its source also provides an example of how to build base types, along with both parameterizable and non-parameterizable.

See MooX::Types::MooseLike::Numeric for an example of how to build subtypes.

See MooX::Types::SetObject for an example of how to build parameterized types.
