SYNOPSIS

    {
        package Foo;

        use Moose;
        use MooseX::Types::Locale::Language qw(
            LanguageCode
            LanguageName
        );

        has 'code'
            => ( isa => LanguageCode, is => 'rw', coerce => 1 );
        has 'name'
            => ( isa => LanguageName, is => 'rw', coerce => 1 );

        __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;
    }

    my $foo = Foo->new(
        code => 'JA',
        name => 'JAPANESE',
    );
    print $foo->code;   # 'ja'
    print $foo->name;   # 'Japanese'

DESCRIPTION

This module packages several Moose::Util::TypeConstraints with coercions, designed to work with the values of Locale::Language.

CONSTRAINTS AND COERCIONS

Alpha2Language

A subtype of Str, which should be defined in language code of ISO 639-1 alpha-2. If you turned coerce on, Str will be lower-case. For example, 'JA' will convert to 'ja'.

LanguageCode

Alias of Alpha2Language.

BibliographicLanguage

A subtype of Str, which should be defined in language code of ISO 639-2/B alpha-3. If you turned coerce on, Str will be lower-case. For example, 'CHI' will convert to 'chi'.

Alpha3Language

Alias of BibliographicLanguage.

TerminologicLanguage

A subtype of Str, which should be defined in language code of ISO 639-2/T alpha-3. If you turned coerce on, Str will be lower-case. For example, 'ZHO' will convert to 'zho'.

LanguageName

A subtype of Str, which should be defined in ISO 639-1 language name. If you turned coerce on, Str will be same case as canonical name. For example, 'JAPANESE' will convert to 'Japanese'.

NOTE

Code conversion is not supported

These coercions is not support code conversion. For example, from Alpha2Language to LanguageName.

    has language
        => ( is => 'rw', isa => LanguageName, coerce => 1 );

    ...

    $foo->language('en');   # does not convert to 'English'

If you want conversion, could you implement an individual language class with several attributes?

See /examples/complex.pl in the distribution for more details.

The type mapping of MooseX::Getopt

This module provides you the optional type mapping of MooseX::Getopt when MooseX::Getopt was installed.

LanguageCode, Alpha2Language and LanguageName are String ("=s") type.

SEE ALSO

• Locale::Language

• MooseX::Types::Locale::Language::Fast

• MooseX::Types::Locale::Country

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.

TO DO

• I may add grammatical aliases of constraints/coercions. For example, LanguageAsAlpha2 as existent Alpha2Language.

• I may add namespased types. For example, 'Locale::Language::Alpha2' as export type Alpha2Language.
