NAME

Aion::Types is a library of validators. And it makes new validators

SYNOPSIS

use Aion::Types;

BEGIN {
    subtype SpeakOfKitty => as StrMatch[qr/\bkitty\b/i],
        message { "Speak is'nt included kitty!" };
}

"Kitty!" ~~ SpeakOfKitty # -> 1
"abc" ~~ SpeakOfKitty 	 # -> ""

eval { SpeakOfKitty->validate("abc", "This") }; "$@" # ~> Speak is'nt included kitty!


BEGIN {
	subtype IntOrArrayRef => as (Int | ArrayRef);
}

[] ~~ IntOrArrayRef  # -> 1
35 ~~ IntOrArrayRef  # -> 1
"" ~~ IntOrArrayRef  # -> ""


coerce IntOrArrayRef, from Num, via { int($_ + .5) };

IntOrArrayRef->coerce(5.5) # => 6

DESCRIPTION

This module export subroutines:

  • subtype, as, init_where, where, awhere, message — for create validators.

  • SELF, ARGS, A, B, C, D, M, N — for use in validators has arguments.

  • coerce, from, via — for create coerce, using for translate values from one class to other class.

SUBROUTINES

subtype ($name, @paraphernalia)

Make new type.

BEGIN {
	subtype One => where { $_ == 1 } message { "Actual 1 only!" };
}

1 ~~ One 	# -> 1
0 ~~ One 	# -> ""
eval { One->validate(0) }; $@ # ~> Actual 1 only!

where and message is syntax sugar, and subtype can be used without them.

BEGIN {
	subtype Many => (where => sub { $_ > 1 });
}

2 ~~ Many  # -> 1

eval { subtype Many => (where1 => sub { $_ > 1 }) }; $@ # ~> subtype Many unused keys left: where1

eval { subtype 'Many' }; $@ # ~> subtype Many: main::Many exists!

as ($parenttype)

Use with subtype for extended create type of $parenttype.

init_where ($code)

Initialize type with new arguments. Use with subtype.

BEGIN {
	subtype 'LessThen[A]',
		init_where { Num->validate(A, "Argument LessThen[A]") }
		where { $_ < A };
}

eval { LessThen["string"] }; $@  # ~> Argument LessThen\[A\]

5 ~~ LessThen[5]  # -> ""

where ($code)

Set in type $code as test. Value for test set in $_.

BEGIN {
	subtype 'Two',
		where { $_ == 2 };
}

2 ~~ Two # -> 1
3 ~~ Two # -> ""

Use with subtype. Need if is the required arguments.

eval { subtype 'Ex[A]' }; $@  # ~> subtype Ex\[A\]: needs a where

awhere ($code)

Use with subtype.

If type maybe with and without arguments, then use for set test with arguments, and where - without.

BEGIN {
	subtype 'GreatThen`[A]',
		where { $_ > 0 }
		awhere { $_ > A }
	;
}

0 ~~ GreatThen    # -> ""
1 ~~ GreatThen    # -> 1

3 ~~ GreatThen[3] # -> ""
4 ~~ GreatThen[3] # -> 1

Need if arguments is optional.

eval { subtype 'Ex`[A]', where {} }; $@  # ~> subtype Ex`\[A\]: needs a awhere
eval { subtype 'Ex', awhere {} }; $@  # ~> subtype Ex: awhere is excess

BEGIN {
	subtype 'MyEnum`[A...]',
		as Str,
		awhere { $_ ~~ scalar ARGS }
	;
}

"ab" ~~ MyEnum[qw/ab cd/] # -> 1

SELF

The current type. SELF use in init_where, where and awhere.

ARGS

Arguments of the current type. In scalar context returns array ref on the its. And in array context returns its. Use in init_where, where and awhere.

A, B, C, D

First, second, third and fifth argument of the type.

BEGIN {
	subtype "Seria[A,B,C,D]", where { A < B < $_ < C < D };
}

2.5 ~~ Seria[1,2,3,4]   # -> 1

Use in init_where, where and awhere.

M, N

M and N is the reduction for SELF->{M} and SELF->{N}.

BEGIN {
	subtype "BeginAndEnd[A, B]",
		init_where {
			N = qr/^${\ quotemeta A}/;
			M = qr/${\ quotemeta B}$/;
		}
		where { $_ =~ N && $_ =~ M };
}

"Hi, my dear!" ~~ BeginAndEnd["Hi,", "!"]   # -> 1
"Hi my dear!" ~~ BeginAndEnd["Hi,", "!"]   # -> ""

BeginAndEnd["Hi,", "!"]   # => BeginAndEnd['Hi,', '!']

message ($code)

Use with subtype for make the message on error, if the value excluded the type. In $code use subroutine: SELF - the current type, ARGS, A, B, C, D - arguments of type (if is), and the testing value in $_. It can be stringified using SELF->val_to_str($_).

coerce ($type, from => $from, via => $via)

It add new coerce ($via) to $type from $from-type.

BEGIN {subtype Four => where {4 eq $_}}

"4a" ~~ Four	# -> ""

Four->coerce("4a")	# -> "4a"

coerce Four, from Str, via { 0+$_ };

Four->coerce("4a")	# -> 4

coerce Four, from ArrayRef, via { scalar @$_ };

Four->coerce([1,2,3])	# -> 3
Four->coerce([1,2,3]) ~~ Four	# -> ""
Four->coerce([1,2,3,4]) ~~ Four	# -> 1

coerce throws exeptions:

eval {coerce Int, via1 => 1}; $@  # ~> coerce Int unused keys left: via1
eval {coerce "x"}; $@  # ~> coerce x not Aion::Type!
eval {coerce Int}; $@  # ~> coerce Int: from is'nt Aion::Type!
eval {coerce Int, from "x"}; $@  # ~> coerce Int: from is'nt Aion::Type!
eval {coerce Int, from Num}; $@  # ~> coerce Int: via is not subroutine!
eval {coerce Int, (from=>Num, via=>"x")}; $@  # ~> coerce Int: via is not subroutine!

Standart coerces:

# Str from Undef — empty string
Str->coerce(undef) # -> ""

# Int from Num — rounded integer
Int->coerce(2.5) # -> 3
Int->coerce(-2.5) # -> -3

# Bool from Any — 1 or ""
Bool->coerce([])	# -> 1
Bool->coerce(0)		# -> ""

from ($type)

Syntax sugar for coerce.

via ($code)

Syntax sugar for coerce.

ATTRIBUTES

Isa (@signature)

Check the subroutine signature: arguments and returns.

sub minint($$) : Isa(Int => Int => Int) {
	my ($x, $y) = @_;
	$x < $y? $x : $y
}

minint 6, 5; # -> 5
eval {minint 5.5, 2}; $@ # ~> Arguments of method `minint` must have the type Tuple\[Int, Int\]\.

Attribute Isa is subroutine UNIVERSAL::Isa.

sub half($) {
	my ($x) = @_;
	$x / 2
}

UNIVERSAL::Isa(
	__PACKAGE__,
	*half,
	\&half,
