💖 Types::Common 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the one stop shop ✨ this is Types::Common(3), straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it is literally the module that has everything you need in one place. no cap.

🌸 STATUS 🌸

This module is covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy. so like, it's not going anywhere, it's committed, it's giving stable relationship energy 🫶

🔮 PLANNED FUTURE CHANGES 🔮

In the future, this module may also export signature_for_func and signature_for_method. that's it, that's the tea ☕ not yet, but possibly someday, iykyk.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the thing — Types::Common doesn't provide any types or functions of its own. none. zero. it's not that kind of module. 💅

Instead it's a single module that re-exports a whole friend group of stuff:

  • All the types from Types::Standard. 👑
  • All the types from Types::Common::Numeric and Types::Common::String. 🍓
  • All the types from Types::TypeTiny. 🦋
  • The -sigs tag from Type::Params. ⭐
  • The t() function from Type::Registry. 🎀

and here's the little bonus detail that makes it chef's kiss: if you import t(), it will also be preloaded with all the type constraints offered by Types::Common. so it already knows everybody at the party. iconic behaviour, honestly. 🌈

🛍️ EXPORT 🛍️

use Types::Common qw( -types -sigs t )

might be a sensible place to start. like, that's your lil starter pack bestie 💖

use Types::Common -all

gives you everything. the whole closet. every single thing. 🔥

and if you have Perl 5.37.2+, then:

use Types::Common qw( -lexical -all )

won't pollute your namespace. clean girl aesthetic, no mess, no leftover variables in your global scope 🧚✨
