🎀 NAME 🎀

Class::Meta::Types::Numeric — Numeric data types 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the vibe, copy-paste it exactly bestie, no cap:

package MyApp::Thingy;
use strict;
use Class::Meta;
use Class::Meta::Types::Numeric;
# OR...
# use Class::Meta::Types::Numeric 'affordance';
# OR...
# use Class::Meta::Types::Numeric 'semi-affordance';

BEGIN {
    # Create a Class::Meta object for this class.
    my $cm = Class::Meta->new( key => 'thingy' );

    # Add an integer attribute.
    $cm->add_attribute( name => 'age',
                        type => 'integer' );
    $cm->build;
}

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this module is literally the plug for numeric data types that play nice with Class::Meta attributes. you load it, then you pass the name of one of its types to the add_attribute() method of a Class::Meta object, and boom — you've got yourself an attribute of the numeric data type. 🫶

want more on how to use and create data types generally? go read Class::Meta::Type, that's your girl.

the validation checks for Class::Meta::Types::Numeric? those come courtesy of the Data::Types module. so if you're wondering what it counts as a number and what it's side-eyeing and rejecting, consult its documentation. 💀

here are the data types this module creates, in order:

• whole — a whole number. that's a positive integer, periodt.
• integer, int — an integer number.
• decimal, dec — a decimal number.
• real — a real number.
• float — a floating point number.
