CMS::Drupal::Types - A Perl type library for working with Drupal

VERSION

version 0.091

SYNOPSIS

use Types::Standard;
use CMS::Drupal::Types qw/ :all /;

USAGE

You can use this module to import Type::Tiny-style types relevant to Drupal into your program. Use the syntax shown above and the types will be available as object attributes.

If you want to use the types to validate parameters passed to a method or a sub, use the following syntax as an example:

use CMS::Drupal::Types qw/ DBName DBDriver DBUsername DBPassword /;
use Types::Standard    qw/ Optional Maybe Str StrMatch Int slurpy Dict /;
use Type::Params       qw/ compile /;

sub my_sub {
  my $args = { @_ };
  my %types = (
    database => DBName,
    driver   => DBDriver,
    username => DBUsername,
    password => DBPassword,
  );
 
  for( keys %$args ) {
    my $validate = compile( slurpy Dict [ $_ => $types{$_} ]);
    my ($param) = $validate->( $_ => $args->{$_} );
    say "$_: '$args->{$_}' passed";
  }
}
