NAME

       MooseX::Meta::TypeConstraint::ForceCoercion - Force coercion when validating type
       constraints

VERSION

       version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

           use MooseX::Types:::Moose qw/Str Any/;
           use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;
           use MooseX::Meta::TypeConstraint::ForceCoercion;

           # get any type constraint
           my $tc = Str;

           # declare one or more coercions for it
           coerce $tc,
               from Any,
               via { ... };

           # wrap the $tc to force coercion
           my $coercing_tc = MooseX::Meta::TypeConstraint::ForceCoercion->new(
               type_constraint => $tc,
           );

           # check a value against new type constraint. this will run the type
           # coercions for the wrapped type, even if the value already passes
           # validation before coercion. it will fail if the value couldn't be
           # coerced
           $coercing_tc->check('Affe');

DESCRIPTION

       This class allows to wrap any "Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint" in a way that will force
       coercion of the value when checking or validating a value against it.

ATTRIBUTES

   type_constraint
       The type constraint to wrap. All methods except for "validate" and "check" are delegated
       to the value of this attribute.

METHODS

   check ($value)
       Same as "Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::check", except it will always try to coerce $value
       before checking it against the actual type constraint. If coercing fails the check will
       fail, too.

   validate ($value, $coerced_ref?)
       Same as "Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::validate", except it will always try to coerce
       $value before validating it against the actual type constraint. If coercing fails the
       validation will fail, too.

       If coercion was successful and a $coerced_ref references was passed, the coerced value
       will be stored in that.
