=head1 NAME
Type::Tiny::Manual::UsingWithMoo - how to use Type::Tiny and Type::Library with Moo
=head1 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);
}
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Type::Tiny is tested with L<Moo> 1.001000 and above.
Type::Tiny overloads C<< &{} >>. Moo supports using objects that overload
C<< &{} >> as C<isa> constraints, so Type::Tiny objects can directly be used
in C<isa>.
Moo prior to 1.006000 doesn't support C<< 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 C<< &{} >>). Just use:
has age => (
is => "rwp",
isa => $PositiveInt,
coerce => $PositiveInt->coercion,
);
If you can upgrade to the latest Moo, and use C<< 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.
=head2 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 C<< Type::Tiny->new >>, then
consider using L<Sub::Quote> to quote the coderef; this allows you to take
advantage of inlining without having to write your own inlining routines.
See also L<Type::Tiny::Manual::Optimization>.
