NAME
Type::Tiny::Manual::UsingWithMoo - how to use Type::Tiny and Type::Library with Moo
SYNOPSIS
{ package Person; use Moo 1.006000; use Sub::Quote qw( quote_sub ); use Types::Standard qw( Str Int ); has name => ( is => "ro", isa => Str, ); my $PositiveInt = Int -> where( quote_sub '$_ > 0' ) -> plus_coercions( Int, sub { abs $_ } ); has age => ( is => "rwp", isa => $PositiveInt, coerce => 1, ); sub get_older { my $self = shift; my ($years) = @_; $PositiveInt->assert_valid($years); $self->_set_age($self->age + $years); } }
DESCRIPTION
Type::Tiny is tested with Moo 1.001000 and above. Type::Tiny overloads "&{}". Moo supports using objects that overload "&{}" as "isa" constraints, so Type::Tiny objects can directly be used in "isa". Moo prior to 1.006000 doesn't support "coerce => 1", instead requiring a coderef to use as a coercion. However, Type::Tiny can provide you with a suitable coderef to use (actually an object that overloads "&{}"). Just use: has age => ( is => "rwp", isa => $PositiveInt, coerce => $PositiveInt->coercion, ); If you can upgrade to the latest Moo, and use "coerce => 1" you'll have a lot more fun though. :-) Type::Tiny hooks into Moo's HandleMoose interface to ensure that type constraints get inflated to Moose type constraints if and when Moo inflates your class to a full Moose class. Optimization The usual advice for optimizing type constraints applies: use type constraints which can be inlined whenever possible, and define coercions as strings rather than coderefs. Upgrading to Moo 1.002000 or above should provide a slight increase in speed for type constraints, as it allows them to be inlined into accessors and constructors. If creating your own type constraints using "Type::Tiny->new", then consider using Sub::Quote to quote the coderef; this allows you to take advantage of inlining without having to write your own inlining routines. See also Type::Tiny::Manual::Optimization.
