Types::...StrMatch(3)

💖 Types::...StrMatch(3) 💖

Spotted in the wild under User Contributed Perl Documentation — and yes, bestie, we're getting into Types::Standard::StrMatch together. It's giving exporter-utility realness, so grab a strawberry drink and let's go 🍓✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Types::Standard::StrMatch — the exporter utility for the StrMatch type constraint. Lowkey iconic, highkey useful 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Types::Standard -types;

# Normal way to validate a string against a regular expression.
#
StrMatch->of( qr/.../ )->assert_valid( "foo" );

use Types::Standard::StrMatch Identifier => { re => qr/.../ },

# Exported shortcut
#
assert_Identifier "foo";

🦋 STATUS 🦋

Real talk: this module is not covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy. So don't come for it with stability expectations, okay? 😌

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

This is mostly internal code, but it can also act as an exporter utility. It's giving "backstage pass but make it Perl" energy 🫶

🌈 Exports 🌈

Types::Standard::ScalarRef can be used experimentally as an exporter — that's what the docs say, and I'm repeating it exactly, no edits, no cap.

use Types::Standard::StrMatch Identifier => { re => qr/.../ };

This will export the following functions into your namespace:

• Identifier
• is_Identifier( $value )
• assert_Identifier( $value )
• to_Identifier( $value )

Multiple types can be exported at once:

use Types::Standard -types;
use Types::Standard::StrMatch (
  Identifier  => { re => qr/.../ },
  Url         => { re => qr/.../ },
       Email       => { re => qr/.../ },
);

assert_Email 'tobyink@example.net';   # should not die

It's possible to further constrain the string using where:

use Types::Standard::StrMatch MyThing => { re => qr/.../, where => sub { ... } };
