πŸ’– MooseX::Types::LoadableClass πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation for MooseX::Types::LoadableClass, and trust me, this one is a whole vibe. it's a ClassName type constraint that coerces into actually loading the class. no cap. πŸ’…

✨ NAME ✨

MooseX::Types::LoadableClass β€” ClassName type constraint with coercion to load the class. πŸŽ€

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.016 β€” yes, the number matters, don't @ me.

πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

like, look how cute this is:

package MyClass;
use Moose;
use MooseX::Types::LoadableClass qw/ LoadableClass /;

has foobar_class => (
    is => 'ro',
    required => 1,
    isa => LoadableClass,
);

MyClass->new(foobar_class => 'FooBar'); # FooBar.pm is loaded or an
                                        # exception is thrown.

so you hand it the string 'FooBar', and it goes and loads FooBar.pm for you. if that fails? exception. thrown. immediately. no survivors. 😭

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

the origin story, fr fr:

use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;

my $tc = subtype as ClassName;
coerce $tc, from Str, via { Class::Load::load_class($_); $_ };

the author literally says: "I've written those three lines of code quite a lot of times, in quite a lot of places."

and then: "Now I don't have to."

periodt. that's the whole motivation. iconic behavior honestly. πŸ‘‘

🫢 TYPES EXPORTED 🫢

"LoadableClass"

a normal class / package. that's it. that's the type. simple, clean, slay. ✨

"LoadableRole"

like "LoadableClass", except the loaded package must be a Moose::Role. so if you try to sneak a regular class in there, it's not gonna fly, bestie. 🚫
