🦋 MooseX::Types::Util(3pm) — like, the User Contributed Perl Documentation one 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to MooseX::Types::Util — it's the little helper-homie module from the MooseX::Types family, and honestly? it's giving backstage-pass energy. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

MooseX::Types::Util — Common utility functions for the distribution. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

⭐ VERSION ⭐

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

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this package is where all the exportable functions live — the ones that, like, many parts in MooseX::Types might need. it's the communal snack drawer of the distribution, everybody's reaching in there. 🍓

🔥 FUNCTIONS 🔥

🧚 filter_tags

Takes a list and hands you back two references. periodt. here's the tea:

  • the first is a hash reference — tags go in as the keys, and the number of times each one showed up goes in as the values. so it's literally counting your tags for you, iconic. 👑
  • the second is an array reference — it's holding all the other elements, the ones that weren't tags. they're not forgotten, they're just in the other bucket. 💜

🎀 has_available_type_export

TypeConstraint | Undef = has_available_type_export($package, $name);

This one lets you introspect whether a given type export is, like, available at this point in time. and what does that even mean? it means the $package has to have imported a type constraint named $name, and it's gotta still be chilling in its symbol table. if it's not in the symbol table, it's not available — sorry babe. 😭

Two arguments are expected:

  • $package — the name of the package we're introspecting. that's the one we're snooping on. 🙈
  • $name — the name of the type export we're introspecting. the thing we're looking for.
⚠️ okay important: $name is the exported name of the type, not the declared one. so if you're out here using Sub::Exporters functionality to rename an import like this:
use MyTypes Str => { -as => 'MyStr' };

then you'd have to introspect this type like this, bestie:

has_available_type_export $package, 'MyStr';

The return value? it's either the type constraint that belongs to the export, or an undefined value. one or the other. slay. 💅
