NAME

Type::Standard - bundled set of built-in types for Type::Tiny

DESCRIPTION

Type::Tiny bundles a few types which seem to be useful.

Moose-like

The following types are similar to those described in Moose::Util::TypeConstraints.

Any
Item
Bool
Maybe[`a]
Undef
Defined
Value
Str
Num
Int
ClassName
RoleName
Ref[`a]
ScalarRef[`a]
ArrayRef[`a]
HashRef[`a]
CodeRef
RegexpRef
GlobRef
FileHandle
Object

Unlike Moose, Ref is a parameterized type, allowing Scalar::Util::reftype checks, a la

Ref["HASH"]  # hashrefs, including blessed hashrefs

Structured

OK, so I stole some ideas from MooseX::Types::Structured.

Map[`a]
Tuple[`a]
Dict[`a]
Optional[`a]

This module also exports a slurpy function.

More

There are a couple of other types exported by this function:

Overload[`a]

With no parameters, checks that the value is an overloaded object. Can be given one or more string parameters, which are specific operations to check are overloaded. For example, the following checks for objects which overload addition and subtraction.

Overload["+", "-"]
StrMatch[`a]

A string that matches a regular exception:

declare "Distance",
   as StrMatch[ qr{^([0-9]+)\s*(mm|cm|m|km)$} ];

You can optionally provide a type constraint for the array of subexpressions:

declare "Distance",
   as StrMatch[
      qr{^([0-9]+)\s*(.+)$},
      Tuple[
         Int,
         enum(DistanceUnit => [qw/ mm cm m km /]),
      ],
   ];
