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.
