Type::Tiny::Manual::UsingWithOther(3)

NAME
Type::Tiny::Manual::UsingWithOther - how to use Type::Tiny and Type::Library with other OO frameworks

DESCRIPTION

  Class::InsideOut
You want Class::InsideOut 1.13 or above, which has support for blessed and overloaded objects (including Type::Tiny type constraints) for the "get_hook" and "set_hook" options.

   {
      package Person;

      use Class::InsideOut qw( public );
      use Types::Standard qw( Str Int );
      use Type::Utils qw( declare as where inline_as coerce from );

      public name => my %_name, {
         set_hook => Str,
      };

      my $PositiveInt = declare
         as        Int,
         where     {  $_ > 0  },
         inline_as { "$_ =~ /^[0-9]+\$/ and $_ > 0" };

      coerce $PositiveInt, from Int, q{ abs $_ };

      public age => my %_age, {
         set_hook => sub { $_ = $PositiveInt->assert_coerce($_) },
      };

      sub get_older {
         my $self = shift;
         my ($years) = @_;
         $PositiveInt->assert_valid($years);
         $self->_set_age($self->age + $years);
      }
   }

I probably need to make coercions a little prettier.

  Params::Check and Object::Accessor
The Params::Check "allow()" function, the "allow" option for the Params::Check "check()" function, and the input validation mechanism for Object::Accessor all work in the same way, which is basically a limited pure-Perl implementation of the smart match operator. While this doesn't directly support Type::Tiny constraints, it does support coderefs. You can use Type::Tiny's "compiled_check" method to obtain a suitable coderef.

Param::Check example:

   my $tmpl = {
      name => { allow => Str->compiled_check },
      age  => { allow => Int->compiled_check },
   };
   check($tmpl, { name => "Bob", age => 32 })
      or die Params::Check::last_error();

Object::Accessor example:

   my $obj = Object::Accessor->new;
   $obj->mk_accessors(
      { name => Str->compiled_check },
      { age  => Int->compiled_check },
   );

Caveat: Object::Accessor doesn't die when a value fails to meet its type constraint; instead it outputs a warning to STDERR. This behaviour can be changed by setting "$Object::Accessor::FATAL = 1".

See also: The Object-Accessor integration tests <https://github.com/tobyink/p5-type-tiny/tree/master/t/30-integration/Object-Accessor> in the Type::Tiny test suite.

  Validation::Class::Simple
You want Validation::Class::Simple 7.900017 or above.

The "to_TypeTiny" function from Types::TypeTiny can be used to create a Type::Tiny type constraint from a Validation::Class::Simple object (and probably from Validation::Class, but this is untested).

   use Types::TypeTiny qw( to_TypeTiny );
   use Validation::Class::Simple;

   my $type = to_TypeTiny Validation::Class::Simple->new(
      fields => {
         name => {
            required => 1,
            pattern  => qr{^\w+(\s\w+)*$},
            filters  => ["trim", "strip"],
         },
         email => { required => 1, email => 1 },
         pass  => { required => 1, min_length => 6 },
      },
   );

   # true
   $type->check({
      name   => "Toby Inkster",
      email  => "tobyink@cpan.org",
      pass   => "foobar",
   });

   # false
   $type->check({
      name   => "Toby Inkster ",    # trailing whitespace
      email  => "tobyink@cpan.org",
      pass   => "foobar",
   });

   # coercion from HashRef uses the filters defined above
   my $fixed = $type->coerce({
      name   => "Toby Inkster ",    # trailing whitespace
      email  => "tobyink@cpan.org",
      pass   => "foobar",
   });

   # true
   $type->check($fixed);

Type constraints built with Validation::Class::Simple are not inlinable, so won't be as fast as "Dict" from Types::Standard, but the filters are a pretty useful feature. (Note that filters are explicitly ignored for type constraint checking, and only come into play for coercion.)
