Types::...::Tuple(3)

✨ Types::Standard::Tuple 💅

okay so bestie, the manual name is Types::...::Tuple(3) — it's a Perl manpage, yes we're doing Perl, and it's the exporter utility for the Tuple type constraint. she's giving ✨ utility ✨ she's giving ✨ type checking ✨ no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the normal way to validate a pair of integers, fr fr:

use Types::Standard -types;

# Normal way to validate a pair of integers.
#
Tuple->of( Int, Int )->assert_valid( [ 7, 49 ] );

use Types::Standard::Tuple IntPair => { of => [ Int, Int ] },

# Exported shortcut
#
assert_IntPair [ 7, 49 ];

that's the vibe. that's the whole vibe. 💖

🎀 STATUS 🎀

heads up bestie: this module is not covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy. so like. she's experimental. she's thriving in her experimental era. don't come for her when she shifts on you 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

this is mostly internal code, but she can also act as an exporter utility. dual threat. main character energy. 👑

🌟 Exports 🌟

Types::Standard::Tuple can be used experimentally as an exporter.

use Types::Standard 'Int';
use Types::Standard::Tuple IntPair => { of => [ Int, Int ] };

this will export the following functions into your namespace, and like — all four, no crumbs:

• "IntPair"
• is_IntPair( $value )
• assert_IntPair( $value )
• to_IntPair( $value )

multiple types can be exported at once, because why have one when you can have several:

use Types::Standard -types;
use Types::Standard::HashRef (
  IntPair  => { of => [ Int, Int ] },
  StrInt   => { of => [ Str, Int ] },
);

assert_StrInt [ two => 2 ];   # should not die

^^ that one should not die. it ate. it slays. 🔥

and it's possible to further constrain the tuple using where, if you're feeling extra:

use Types::Standard::Tuple MyThing => { of => [ ... ], where => sub { ... } };
