=head1 NAME

Type::Tiny::Manual::UsingWithMouse - how to use Type::Tiny and Type::Library with Mouse

=head1 SYNOPSIS

   {
      package Person;
      
      use Mouse;
      use Types::Standard qw( Str Int );
      
      has name => (
         is      => "ro",
         isa     => Str,
      );
      
      my $PositiveInt = Int
         -> where( sub { $_ > 0 } )
         -> plus_coercions( Int, sub { abs $_ } );
      
      has age => (
         is      => "ro",
         isa     => $PositiveInt,
         coerce  => 1,
         writer  => "_set_age",
      );
      
      sub get_older {
         my $self = shift;
         my ($years) = @_;
         $PositiveInt->assert_valid($years);
         $self->_set_age($self->age + $years);
      }
   }

=head1 STATUS

L<Mouse> support in Type::Tiny was somewhat of an afterthought. It should
work, but is not anywhere near as well-tested as L<Moo> or L<Moose>
support.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Type::Tiny is tested with L<Mouse> 1.00 and above.

L<Type::Tiny> type constraints have an API almost identical to that of
L<Mouse::Meta::TypeConstraint>. As a result, you can use a Type::Tiny
object pretty much anywhere you'd use a Mouse::Meta::TypeConstraint and
you are unlikely to notice the difference. (And Mouse is unlikely to
notice the difference too!)

=head2 Per-Attribute Coercions

Type::Tiny offers convenience methods to alter the list of coercions
associated with a type constraint. Let's imagine we wish to allow our
C<name> attribute to be coerced from an arrayref of strings.

      has name => (
         is      => "ro",
         isa     => Str->plus_coercions(
            ArrayRef[Str], sub { join " ", @{$_} },
         ),
         coerce  => 1,
      );

This coercion will apply to the C<name> attribute only; other attributes
using the C<Str> type constraint will be unaffected.

See the documentation for C<plus_coercions>, C<minus_coercions> and
C<no_coercions> in L<Type::Tiny>.

=head2 Optimization

Mouse's built-in type constraints are implemented using XS and are stupidly
fast. For many type constraints, if Type::Tiny notices Mouse is loaded early
enough, Type::Tiny will borrow Mouse's XS subs.

See also L<Type::Tiny::Manual::Optimization>.

=head2 Interactions with MouseX-Types

Type::Tiny and MouseX::Types type constraints should "play nice". If, for
example, C<ArrayRef> is taken from L<Types::Standard> (i.e. a Type::Tiny-based
type library), and C<PositiveInt> is taken from L<MouseX::Types::Common::Numeric>,
then the following should "just work":

   isa => ArrayRef[ PositiveInt ]

   isa => PositiveInt | ArrayRef
