💖 Class:...String(3pm) — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Class::Meta::Types::String 🎀 — the Perl doc you're reading is filed under the manual name Class:...String(3pm), and honestly? it's giving short-but-iconic. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Class::Meta::Types::String — string data types, periodt 🧵✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the whole vibe, copy it exactly bestie:

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

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

    # Add a string attribute.
    $cm->add_attribute( name => 'name',
                        type => 'string' );
    $cm->build;
}

see those # OR... lines? you can load it plain, or load it with 'affordance', or with 'semi-affordance'. all three are valid, no cap 🌈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

This module provides a string data type for use with Class::Meta attributes. literally that's its whole job and it ate 💅

So the way that you use it: simply load it, then pass "string" to the add_attribute() method of a Class::Meta object, and boom — you've created an attribute of the string data type. main character energy fr fr ✨

if you wanna know more about using and creating data types, go check out Class::Meta::Type. iykyk 🦋
