MouseX...TypeMap(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

MouseX::Getopt::OptionTypeMap — bestie, it's literally just storage for the option-to-type mappings 💖

This is a perl manual page, section 3pm, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation. Yes the header squishes the name down to MouseX...TypeMap(3pm) like it's texting with a character limit, but the full name is right there in the NAME section and we are using it. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so real talk: this module is the lil closet where the option ➡️ type mappings get kept. That's the vibe. 🦋

And if you're sitting here like "bestie what do I even do with that," the answer is very much go read the Custom Type Constraints section in the MouseX::Getopt docs. That's where the actual how-to-use-this-module tea is spilled. This page is not gonna gatekeep the explanation from you, it's just pointing you to the right room. 💅

Here's what this module has got going on:

• has_option_type ($type_or_name) — takes $type_or_name
• get_option_type ($type_or_name) — takes $type_or_name
• add_option_type_to_map ($type_name, $option_spec) — takes $type_name and $option_spec

Three little guys. That's the whole roster, no cap, I'm not hiding any extra ones from you. 🫶

Heads up bestie: the original page doesn't spell out what each of these does beyond their names and arguments, so I'm not gonna make stuff up. The Custom Type Constraints section in MouseX::Getopt is your girl for the real explanation. 👑

Signing off with the receipts: this page came from perl v5.32.1, dated 2021-09-16. Iconic. Historic. Slay. 💜✨
