Types::Standard::Map(3pm)

Types::Standard::Map3pm

Exporter utility for the map type constraint

Usage

  use Types::Standard -types;
  
  # Normal way to validate map.
  #
  Map->of( Int, Str )->assert_valid( { 1 => "one" } );
  
  use Types::Standard::Map IntsToStrs => { keys => Int, values => Str },
  
  # Exported shortcut
  #
  assert_IntsToStrs { 1 => "one" };

Status

This module is not covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy.

Overview

This is mostly internal code, but can also act as an exporter utility.

Exports

Types::Standard::Map can be used experimentally as an exporter.

  use Types::Standard 'Int';
  use Types::Standard::Map IntsToStrs => { keys => Int, values => Str },

This will export the following functions into your namespace:

"IntsToStrs"
is_IntsToStrs( $value )
assert_IntsToStrs( $value )
to_IntsToStrs( $value )

Multiple types can be exported at once:

  use Types::Standard -types;
  use Types::Standard::Map (
    IntsToStrs  => { keys => Int, values => Str },
    StrsToInts  => { keys => Str, values => Int },
  );
  
  assert_StrsToInts { two => 2 };   # should not die

It's possible to further constrain the hashref using "where":

  use Types::Standard::Dict MyThing => {
    keys   => Str->where( sub { ... } ),
    values => Int->where( sub { ... } ),
    where  => sub { ... },
  };
