       Bread::Board::Types - types and coercions for Bread::Board

VERSION

       version 0.37

DESCRIPTION

       This package defines types and coercions for Bread::Board.

TYPES

   "Bread::Board::Container::SubContainerList"
       A hashref mapping strings to instances of Bread::Board::Container or
       Bread::Board::Container::Parameterized.

       Can be coerced from an arrayref of containers: the keys will be the containers' names.

   "Bread::Board::Container::ServiceList"
       A hashref mapping strings to instances of Bread::Board::Service.

       Can be coerced from an arrayref of services: the keys will be the services' names.

   "Bread::Board::Service::Dependencies"
       Hashref mapping strings to instances of Bread::Board::Dependency.

       The values of the hashref can be coerced in several different ways:

       a string
           will be interpreted as the "service_path"

       a hashref with a single key
           the key will be interpreted as a "service_path", and the value as a hashref for
           "service_params"

       an arrayref
           each element will be interpreted as a dependency (possibly through all the coercions
           listed here); see below for an example

       a service object
           will be interpreted as a dependency on that service

       a dependency object
           will be taken as-is

       Instead of a hashref of any of the above things, you can use an arrayref: it will be
       coerced to hashref, using the (coerced) dependencies' names as keys.

       Examples

          service foo => (
            class => 'Foo',
            dependencies => {
              { bar => { attribute => 12 } },
            },
          );

       The service "foo" depends on the parameterized service "bar", and "bar" will be
       instantiated passing the hashref "{ attribute => 12 }" to its "get" method.

          service foo => (
            class => 'Foo',
            dependencies => {
              things => [ 'bar', 'baz' ],
            },
          );

       The service "foo" depends on the services "bar" and "baz", and when instantiating "foo",
       its constructor will receive something like "things => [ $instance_of_bar,
       $instance_of_baz ]".

          service foo => (
            class => 'Foo',
            dependencies => {
              things => [
                { bar => { attribute => 12 } },
                { bar => { attribute => 27 } },
              ],
            },
          );

       You can mix&match the coercions! This "foo" will get two different instances of "bar" in
       its "things" attribute, each "bar" instantiated with a different value.

   "Bread::Board::Service::Parameters"
       Hashref mapping strings to MooseX::Params::Validate specifications.

       Can be coerced from an arrayref of strings:

         [qw(a b c)]

       becomes:

         {
           a => { optional => 0 },
           b => { optional => 0 },
           c => { optional => 0 },
         }
