NAME

MooX::ValidateSubs - Validating sub routines via Type::Tiny.

VERSION

Version 0.09

SYNOPSIS

    package Welcome::To::A::World::Of::Types;

    use Moo;
    use MooX::ValidateSubs;
    use Types::Standard qw/Str ArrayRef HashRef/;

    validate_subs (
        hello_world => {
            params => { 
                one   => [ Str, 1 ], # 1 means I'm optional
                two   => [ ArrayRef ],
                three => [ HashRef, 'before_add_me' ],
            },
            returns => {
                one   => [ Str, 1 ], # 1 means I'm optional
                two   => [ ArrayRef ],
                three => [ HashRef ],
                four  => [ Str, 'add_on' ],
            },
        },
        goodbye_world => { params => [ [Str], [ArrayRef], [HashRef] ] },
    );

    sub before_add_me {
        return {
            okay => 'fine',
        };
    }

    sub add_on {
        return 'sad face';
    }

    sub hello_world { 
        my ($self, %args) = @_;
        
        # $args{one}    # optional string 
        # $args{two}    # valid arrayref 
        # $args{three}  # valid hashref

        if ( ... # some condition ... ) {
            $args{four} = 'may or may not get set here';
        }

        return %args;
    }

Exports

validate_subs

I'm a key/value list, my keys should reference a sub routine, My value must now be a hash reference that can contain two *optional* keys (params and returns).

    validate_subs (
        hash_example => {
            params => { ... },
            returns => { ... },
        },
        array_example => {
            params => [ ... ],
            returns => [ ... ],
        }
    );

Both params and returns value can either be an array reference of array references, that indicates we are going to be validating either an Array or an Array Reference,

    array_example => {
        params => [ [Str], [HashRef], [Str] ],
        returns => [ [Str], [HashRef] ],
    },

    ...

    sub array_example {
        my ($self) = shift;
        return (shift, shift);
    }

Or a hash reference with array reference values, when validating either a Hash or Hash reference.

    hash_example => {
        params => {
            one => [ Str ],
            two => [ HashRef ],    
        },
        returns => {  
            one => [ Str ],
            two => [ HashRef ],
            three => [ Str ],
        },
    },

    ...

    sub hash_example {
        my ($self, %hash) = @_;
        $hash{three} = 'add a key';
        return %hash;
    }

The array references Must always have a first index that is a code reference, you can optionally pass a second index that can either be 1, which indicates *optional*, a scalar that reference a subroutine/attribute available to *self* or a code reference that gets used to fill a default value if one was not passed.

    params => {
        one => [ Str, sub { 'Hello World' } ],
        two => [ Str, 'basics' ],
    },    
    returns => [ [Str], [Str], [Str, 'say_goodbye'],

    ....

    has basics => (
        is => 'ro',
        default => sub { "How are you" },
    );

    sub say_goodbye {
        my ($self) = shift;
        return 'In a rush, goodbye.';
    } 

    sub example {
        my ($self, %hash) = @_;
        return values %hash;
    }

...

Breaking things

I decided to make some breaking changes so 0.07++ syntax is not compatible with 0.06--. I also changed from *before* to *around* as I want to modify $args. If you prefer the *before* approach it can currently be found here - https://github.com/ThisUsedToBeAnEmail/MooX-TypeParams.
