Moose::Meta::TypeCoercUser3Contributed Perl DocuMoose::Meta::TypeCoercion(3pm)NAMEMoose::Meta::TypeCoercion - The Moose Type Coercion metaclass
VERSION
version 2.2009
DESCRIPTION
A type coercion object is basically a mapping of one or more type
constraints and the associated coercions subroutines.
It's unlikely that you will need to instantiate an object of this class
directly, as it's part of the deep internals of Moose.
METHODS
Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion->new(%options)
Creates a new type coercion object, based on the options provided.
· type_constraint
This is the Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object for the type that is
being coerced to.
$coercion->type_coercion_map
This returns the map of type constraints to coercions as an array
reference. The values of the array alternate between type names and
subroutine references which implement the coercion.
The value is an array reference because coercions are tried in the
order they are added.
$coercion->type_constraint
This returns the Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint that was passed to the
constructor.
$coercion->has_coercion_for_type($type_name)
Returns true if the coercion can coerce the named type.
$coercion->add_type_coercions( $type_name => $sub, ... )
This method takes a list of type names and subroutine references. If
the coercion already has a mapping for a given type, it throws an
exception.
Coercions are actually
$coercion->coerce($value)
This method takes a value and applies the first valid coercion it
finds.
This means that if the value could belong to more than type in the
coercion object, the first coercion added is used.
Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion->meta
This will return a Class::MOP::Class instance for this class.
