NAME

       Types::TypeTiny - type constraints used internally by Type::Tiny

DESCRIPTION

       Dogfooding.

       This isn't a real Type::Library-based type library; that would involve too much circularity. But it
       exports some type constraint "constants":

   Types
       "StringLike"
       "HashLike"
       "ArrayLike"
       "CodeLike"
       "TypeTiny"

   Coercion Functions
       "to_TypeTiny($constraint)"
           Promotes (or "demotes" if you prefer) a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object to a Type::Tiny object.

           Can  also  handle  Validation::Class  objects.  Type constraints built from Validation::Class objects
           deliberately ignore field filters when they do constraint checking (and go to  great  lengths  to  do
           so);  using  filters  for  coercion  only. (The behaviour of "coerce" if we don't do that is just too
           weird!)

           Can  also  handle  any  object  providing  "check"  and  "get_message"   methods.    (This   includes
           Mouse::Meta::TypeConstraint  objects.)  If  the  object  also  provides  "has_coercion"  and "coerce"
           methods, these will be used too.

           Can also handle coderefs (but not blessed  coderefs  or  objects  overloading  "&{}").  Coderefs  are
           expected  to  return  true  iff  $_  passes the constraint. If $_ fails the type constraint, they may
           either return false, or die with a helpful error message.

   Methods
       These are implemented so that "Types::TypeTiny->meta->get_type($foo)" works, for rough compatibility with
       a real Type::Library type library.

       "meta"
       "get_type($name)"
