NAME

       MooseX::Types::Combine - Combine type libraries for exporting

VERSION

       version 0.50

SYNOPSIS

           package CombinedTypeLib;

           use base 'MooseX::Types::Combine';

           __PACKAGE__->provide_types_from(qw/TypeLib1 TypeLib2/);

           package UserClass;

           use CombinedTypeLib qw/Type1 Type2 ... /;

DESCRIPTION

       Allows you to create a single class that will allow you to export types from multiple type
       libraries:

           package TransportTypes;

           use base 'MooseX::Types::Combine';

           __PACKAGE__->provide_types_from(qw/ MotorizedTypes UnmotorizedTypes /);

           1;

       In this example all types defined in "MotorizedTypes" and "UnmotorizedTypes" are available
       through the "TransportTypes" combined type library.

           package SkiingTrip;

           use Moose;

           use TransportTypes qw( CarType SkisType );

           has car => ( is => 'ro', isa => CarType, required => 1 );
           has ski_rack => ( is => 'ro', isa => ArrayRef[SkisType], required => 1 );
           ...

       Libraries on the right end of the list passed to "provide_types_from" take precedence over
       those on the left in case of conflicts.  So, in the above example if both the
       "MotorizedTypes" and "UnmotorizedTypes" libraries provided a "Bike" type, you'd get the
       bicycle from "UnmotorizedTypes" not the motorbike from "MorotizedTypes".

       You can also further combine combined type libraries with additional type libraries or
       other combined type libraries in the same way to provide even larger type libraries:

           package MeetingTransportTypes;

           use base 'MooseX::Types::Combine';

           __PACKAGE__->provide_types_from(qw/ TransportTypes TelepresenceTypes /);

           1;

CLASS METHODS

   provide_types_from
       Sets or returns a list of type libraries (or combined type libraries) to re-export from.

   type_names
       Returns a list of all known types by their name.
