Try::T...yClass(3pm)

💖 Try::Tiny::ByClass — the perl manual, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this is a User Contributed Perl Documentation page for a module called Try::Tiny::ByClass, and it is lowkey iconic 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Try::Tiny::ByClass — catch exceptions selectively, by class name 💅

like, not every exception deserves your attention, yk? this one lets you pick and choose 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe, verbatim, no cap:

use Try::Tiny::ByClass;

try {
      die $exception_object;
} catch_case [
  'Some::Class' => sub {
    # handle Some::Class exceptions
  },
  'Exception::DivByZero' => sub {
    # handle Exception::DivByZero exceptions
  },
], finally {
  # always do this
};

see how it's giving organized? that's the whole point 🫶

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so. this module is a simple wrapper around Try::Tiny, which see 👀 (fr fr, go read that one too). It re-exports try, catch, and finally — so you get all the classics, bestie 💖

and on top of that, it gives you a way to catch only some exceptions, by filtering on the class of an exception object. and when we say class we mean it in the full sense: superclasses and consumed roles count too, so your subclass energy is very much recognized 👑

---

🧚 Functions 🧚

catch_case ($;@)

this one is intended to be used instead of catch — specifically in the second argument position</u> of try 🌈

instead of taking a block like catch does, it takes a reference to an array of CLASS => CODEREF pairs 💫 and then it passes that whole thing on to dispatch in Dispatch::Class.

so yeah, it's basically a lil matchmaker between your exceptions and your handlers. slay 🎀
