NAME

Type::Nano - simple type constraint library for testing

SYNOPSIS

use Type::Nano qw(Int);

Int->check("42");  # true

DESCRIPTION

This is a really basic implementation of Type::API::Constraint for testing modules that make use of type constraints, such as Type::Tie.

It optionally exports the following type constraints:

Any

Defined

Undef

Ref

ArrayRef

HashRef

CodeRef

Object

Str

Bool

Num

Int

Types support the following methods:

$type->check($value)

$type->get_message($failing_value)

I'll stress that this module is only intended for use in testing. It eliminates Type::Tie's testing dependency on Types::Standard.

Type::Tiny while bigger than Type::Nano, will be much faster at runtime, and offers better integration with Moo, Moose, Mouse, and a wide variety of other tools. Use that instead.
