Badger...::Class(3pm)

💖 Badger::Data::Type::Class 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Badger::Data::Type::Class page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation (that's section 3pm for those keeping score ✨). Pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

Badger::Data::Type::Class — metaprogramming module for data type classes 🪄

like, it's the module that makes the modules that make the data types. main character energy, honestly 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nothing here bestie 😭 the original page just... doesn't have one. no synopsis. we move on 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this module implements a subclass of Badger::Class for creating data types. That's it. That's the vibe. It's a metaprogramming module — it builds data type classes for you so you don't have to hand-roll them like some kind of medieval peasant 💅

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

This module implements the following methods in addition to those inherited from the Badger::Class base class. So everything you already love from the parent class? Still there. These are the bonus tracks 🌈

⭐ type($type)

This method implements the "type" import hook for specifying the base data type. fr fr, it's the one that says "hey, this new type is built on that type" 💖

⭐ size($size)

This method implements the "type" import hook for specifying the data size.

NOTE: subject to change 👀 — not me warning you, the original docs said it. it's lowkey in flux, so don't build your whole personality around it 😭

⭐ facets($facets)

This method implements the "facets" import hook for specifying validation facets for a data type. This is where you tell the type how to check itself — validation glow-up ✨

---

💅 IMPORT HOOKS 💅

The following hooks can be specified when the module is imported via "use". They correspond directly to the methods documented above — same energy, just on the import side 🧚

🌸 type

🌸 size

🌸 facets
