Tangence::Type(3pm)

💖 Tangence::Type 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for Tangence::Type — that's the Perl module, the (3pm) situation, and honestly? it's giving glow up.

---

✨ NAME ✨

Tangence::Type — it's the class that represents a Tangence value type. that's it. that's the whole name. short, sweet, iconic. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like. Objects in this class? They represent individual types that get sent over the wire in Tangence messages. periodt.

And here's the cute part — Tangence::Type is a subclass of Tangence::Meta::Type, which means it inherits all that good stuff and provides extra methods that may be useful in server or client implementations. it's the main character with a supporting cast, fr fr. 👑

---

🎀 CONSTRUCTOR 🎀

make

$type = Tangence::Type->make( $primitive_sig );

Returns an instance to represent a primitive type of the given signature. boom. instant. slay. ✨

$type = Tangence::Type->make( list => $member_type );

$type = Tangence::Type->make( dict => $member_type );

Returns an instance to represent a list or dict aggregation containing members of the given type. so like, you're building a little collection of $member_type — a list of them, or a dict of them. choose your fighter. 🦋

---

💅 METHODS 💅

default_value

$value = $type->default_value;

Returns a value suitable to use as an initial value for object properties. it's the lil starter value, the blank slate, the pre-glow-up version of your property. 🥺

pack_value

$type->pack_value( $message, $value );

Appends a value of this type to the end of a Tangence::Message. note that — the end. it's going to the back of the line, respectfully. 🙈

unpack_value

$value = $type->unpack_value( $message );

Removes a value of this type from the start of a Tangence::Message. and this one? this one's taking from the front. completely different energy from pack_value, don't get it twisted. 😭
