       MooseX::Types::Stringlike - Moose type constraints for strings or string-like objects

VERSION

       version 0.003

SYNOPSIS

         package Foo;
         use Moose;
         use MooseX::Types::Stringlike qw/Stringlike Stringable ArrayRefOfStringlike ArrayRefOfStringable/;

         has path => (
           is => 'ro',
           isa => Stringlike,
           coerce => 1
         );

         has stringable_object => (
           is => 'ro',
           isa => Stringable,
         );

         has paths => (
           is => 'ro',
           isa => ArrayRefOfStringlike,
           coerce => 1
         );

         has stringable_objects => (
           is => 'ro',
           isa => ArrayRefOfStringable,
         );

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a more general version of the "Str" type.  If coercions are enabled,
       it will accepts objects that overload stringification and coerces them into strings.

SUBTYPES

       This module uses MooseX::Types to define the following subtypes.

   Stringlike
       "Stringlike" is a subtype of "Str".  It can coerce "Stringable" objects into a string.

   Stringable
       "Stringable" is a subtype of "Object" where the object has overloaded stringification.

   ArrayRefOfStringlike
       "ArrayRefStringlike" is a subtype of "ArrayRef[Str]".  It can coerce
       "ArrayRefOfStringable" objects into an arrayref of strings.

   ArrayRefOfStringable
       "ArrayRefOfStringable" is a subtype of "ArrayRef[Object]" where the objects have
       overloaded stringification.
