NAME

Smart::Args::TypeTiny - We are smart, smart for you

SYNOPSIS

use Smart::Args::TypeTiny;

sub func2 {
    args my $p => 'Int',
         my $q => {isa => 'Int', optional => 1},
         ;
}
func2(p => 3, q => 4); # p => 3, q => 4
func2(p => 3);         # p => 3, q => undef

sub func3 {
    args my $p => {isa => 'Int', default => 3};
}
func3(p => 4); # p => 4
func3();       # p => 3

DESCRIPTION

Smart::Args::TypeTiny provides Smart::Args-like argument validator using Type::Tiny.

IMCOMPATIBLE CHANGES WITH Smart::Args

Unexpected parameters will be a fatal error

sub foo {
    args my $x => 'Str';
}

sub bar {
    args_pos my $x => 'Str';
}

foo(x => 'a', y => 'b'); # fatal: Unexpected parameter 'y' passed
bar('a', 'b');           # fatal: Too many parameters passed

Optional allows to pass undef to parameter

sub foo {
    args my $p => {isa => 'Int', optional => 1};
}

foo();           # $p = undef
foo(p => 1);     # $p = 1
foo(p => undef); # $p = undef

Default parameter can take coderef as lazy value

sub foo {
    args my $p => {isa => 'Foo', default => create_foo},         # calls every time even if $p is passed
         my $q => {isa => 'Foo', default => sub { create_foo }}, # calls only when $p is not passed
         ;
}

FUNCTIONS

my $args = args my $var[, $rule], ...;

sub foo {
    args my $int   => 'Int',
         my $foo   => 'Foo',
         my $bar   => {isa => 'Bar',  default  => sub { Bar->new }},
         my $baz   => {isa => 'Baz',  optional => 1},
         my $bool  => {isa => 'Bool', default  => 0},
         ;

    ...
}

foo(int => 1, foo => Foo->new, bool => 1);

Check parameters and fills them into lexical variables. All the parameters are mandatory by default. The hashref of all parameters is returned.

$rule can be any one of type name, Type::Tiny's type constraint object, or hashref have these parameters:

isa Str|Object

Type name or Type::Tiny's type constraint.

Types::Standard

args my $int => {isa => 'Int'};

Mouse::Util::TypeConstraints

Enable if Mouse.pm is loaded.

use Mouse::Util::TypeConstraints;

subtype 'PositiveInt',
    as 'Int',
    where { $_ > 0 },
    message { 'Must be greater than zero' };

args my $positive_int => {isa => 'PositiveInt'};

class name

{
    package Foo;
    ...
}

args my $foo => {isa => 'Foo'};

does Str|Object

Role name or Type::Tiny's type constraint object.

optional Bool

The parameter doesn't need to be passed when optional is true.

default Any|CodeRef

Default value for the parameter.

my $args = args_pos my $var[, $rule], ...;

sub bar {
    args_pos my $x => 'Str',
             my $p => 'Int',
             ;

    ...
}

bar('abc', 123);

Same as args except take arguments instead of parameters.

TIPS

SKIP TYPE CHECK

For optimization calling subroutine in runtime type check, you can overwrite check_rule like following code:

{
    no warnings 'redefine';
    *Smart::Args::TypeTiny::check_rule = \&Smart::Args::TypeTiny::Check::no_check_rule;
}

Smart::Args::TypeTiny::Check::no_check_rule is a function without type checking and type coerce, but settings such as default and optional work the same as check_rule.
