NAME

       MooseX::Types::LoadableClass - ClassName type constraint with coercion to load the class.

VERSION

       version 0.012

SYNOPSIS

           package MyClass;
           use Moose;
           use MooseX::Types::LoadableClass qw/ LoadableClass /;

           has foobar_class => (
               is => 'ro',
               required => 1,
               isa => LoadableClass,
           );

           MyClass->new(foobar_class => 'FooBar'); # FooBar.pm is loaded or an
                                                   # exception is thrown.

DESCRIPTION

           use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;

           my $tc = subtype as ClassName;
           coerce $tc, from Str, via { Class::Load::load_class($_); $_ };

       I've written those three lines of code quite a lot of times, in quite a lot of places.

       Now I don't have to.

TYPES EXPORTED
