NAME

MooseX::Types::Base - Type library base class

DESCRIPTION

You normally won't need to interact with this class by yourself. It is merely a collection of functionality that type libraries need to interact with moose and the rest of the MooseX::Types module.

METHODS

import

Provides the import mechanism for your library. See "LIBRARY USAGE" in MooseX::Types for syntax details on this.

export_type_into

Exports one specific type into a target package.

get_type

This returns a type from the library's store by its name.

type_names

Returns a list of all known types by their name.

add_type

Adds a new type to the library.

has_type

Returns true or false depending on if this library knows a type by that name.

type_storage

Returns the library's type storage hash reference. You shouldn't use this method directly unless you know what you are doing. It is not an internal method because overriding it makes virtual libraries very easy.
