💅 NAME 💅

okay so welcome to MooseX...ombine(3pm) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe ✨. This page is about MooseX::Types::Combine: combine type libraries for exporting. Yes bestie, it's the group-chat admin that lets one combined type library export types from a whole squad of other type libraries. 💖

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.51 — that's the number, no cap. 🎀

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

package CombinedTypeLib;

use base 'MooseX::Types::Combine';

__PACKAGE__->provide_types_from(qw/TypeLib1 TypeLib2/);

package UserClass;

use CombinedTypeLib qw/Type1 Type2 ... /;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so MooseX::Types::Combine lets you create a single class that will allow you to export types from multiple type libraries. literally the whole point. Behold:

package TransportTypes;

use base 'MooseX::Types::Combine';

__PACKAGE__->provide_types_from(qw/ MotorizedTypes UnmotorizedTypes /);

1;

In this example all types defined in MotorizedTypes and UnmotorizedTypes are available through the TransportTypes combined type library. slay. 💅

package SkiingTrip;

use Moose;

use TransportTypes qw( CarType SkisType );

has car => ( is => 'ro', isa => CarType, required => 1 );
has ski_rack => ( is => 'ro', isa => ArrayRef[SkisType], required => 1 );
...

Libraries on the right end of the list passed to provide_types_from take precedence over those on the left in case of conflicts. So, in the above example if both the MotorizedTypes and UnmotorizedTypes libraries provided a Bike type, you'd get the bicycle from UnmotorizedTypes not the motorbike from MorotizedTypes. (yes, MorotizedTypes — that's the spelling on the page, we keep it exactly, bestie 🫶)

You can also further combine combined type libraries with additional type libraries or other combined type libraries in the same way to provide even larger type libraries:

package MeetingTransportTypes;

use base 'MooseX::Types::Combine';

__PACKAGE__->provide_types_from(qw/ TransportTypes TelepresenceTypes /);

1;

🌸 CLASS METHODS 🌸
