NAME

       Type::Tiny::Role - type constraints based on the "DOES" method

SYNOPSIS

       Using via Types::Standard:

         package Local::Horse {
           use Moo;
           use Types::Standard qw( Str ConsumerOf );

           has name => (
             is       => 'ro',
             isa      => Str,
           );

           has owner => (
             is       => 'ro',
             isa      => ConsumerOf[ 'Local::Traits::DoesOwnership' ],
             default  => sub { Local::Person->new },
           );
         }

       Using Type::Tiny::Class's export feature:

         package Local::Horse {
           use Moo;
           use Types::Standard qw( Str );
           use Type::Tiny::Role (
             Owner => { role => 'Local::Traits::DoesOwnership' },
           );

           has name => (
             is       => 'ro',
             isa      => Str,
           );

           has owner => (
             is       => 'ro',
             isa      => Owner,
             default  => sub { Local::Person->new },
           );
         }

       Using Type::Tiny::Role's object-oriented interface:

         package Local::Horse {
           use Moo;
           use Types::Standard qw( Str );
           use Type::Tiny::Class;

           my $Owner = Type::Tiny::Role->new(
             role => 'Local::Traits::DoesOwnership',
           );

           has name => (
             is       => 'ro',
             isa      => Str,
           );

           has owner => (
             is       => 'ro',
             isa      => $Owner,
             default  => sub { Local::Person->new },
           );
         }

       Using Type::Utils's functional interface:

         package Local::Horse {
           use Moo;
           use Types::Standard qw( Str );
           use Type::Utils;

           my $Owner = role_type 'Local::Traits::DoesOwnership';

           has name => (
             is       => 'ro',
             isa      => Str,
           );

           has owner => (
             is       => 'ro',
             isa      => $Owner,
             default  => sub { Local::Person->new },
           );
         }

STATUS

       This module is covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy.

DESCRIPTION

       Type constraints of the general form "{ $_->DOES("Some::Role") }".

       This package inherits from Type::Tiny; see that for most documentation.  Major differences
       are listed below:

   Attributes
       "role"
           The role for the constraint.

           Note that this package doesn't subscribe to any particular flavour of roles
           (Moose::Role, Mouse::Role, Moo::Role, Role::Tiny, etc). It simply trusts the object's
           "DOES" method (see UNIVERSAL).

       "constraint"
           Unlike Type::Tiny, you cannot pass a constraint coderef to the constructor.  Instead
           rely on the default.

       "inlined"
           Unlike Type::Tiny, you cannot pass an inlining coderef to the constructor.  Instead
           rely on the default.

       "parent"
           Parent is always Types::Standard::Object, and cannot be passed to the constructor.

   Methods
       "stringifies_to($constraint)"
           See Type::Tiny::ConstrainedObject.

       "numifies_to($constraint)"
           See Type::Tiny::ConstrainedObject.

       "with_attribute_values($attr1 => $constraint1, ...)"
           See Type::Tiny::ConstrainedObject.

   Exports
       Type::Tiny::Role can be used as an exporter.

         use Type::Tiny::Role 'MyApp::Printable';

       This will export the following functions into your namespace:

       "MyAppPrintable"
       "is_MyAppPrintable( $value )"
       "assert_MyAppPrintable( $value )"
       "to_MyAppPrintable( $value )"

       Multiple types can be exported at once:

         use Type::Tiny::Role qw( MyApp::Printable MyApp::Sendable );
