FP::Predicates
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use FP::Predicates;
is is_string("Hi"), 1;
is is_string(["Hi"]), 0;
use FP::List; use FP::Equal 'is_equal';
is_equal list(1, 2, 3, 0, -1, "hi", [1])->map(\&is_natural0),
list(1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0);
package Foo {
use FP::Predicates;
*is_age = both \&is_natural0, sub { $_[0] < 130 };
# ^ if you do not want this to show up as a method,
# wrap it in BEGIN { } to get deleted in FP::Struct's
# namespace cleaning step; or assign to a scalar instead (my
# $is_age), of course; or use an inline expression (second
# line below)
use FP::Struct [[\&is_string, "name"], [\&is_age, "age"]];
# use FP::Struct [[\&is_string, "name"],
# [both (\&is_natural0, less_than 130), "age"]];
_END_
}
is (Foo->new("Moo", 13)->age, 13);
# Experimental:
{
use FP::Failure '*use_failure';
local $use_failure = 1;
my $isp = is_pure_class("FP::Array");
is $isp ? "yes" : "no", "no";
is $isp->message,
"failure: is_pure_class: 'FP::Array'\n";
is is_pure_class("FP:: Array")->message,
"failure: is_pure_class\n".
" because:\n".
" failure: is_valid_class_name: 'FP:: Array'\n";
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Useful as predicates for FP::Struct field definitions.
These are simple functions expecting one value and returning a
boolean. They are composable with `maybe`, `complement`, `either`,
`all_of`/`both`.
This is a functional approach to achieve the same aim as
`Moose::Util::TypeConstraints`, which basically uses a syntactical
sublanguage instead (implemented as a mix of functions and string
interpretation). It was written because it's way simpler. The drawback
is that (currently) there's no way to get a nice message string from
them to say why a match fails. Perhaps it would be possible to do so
using more introspection? (That would be nice because message
generation would be fully automatic and hence consistent.) Or,
alternatively, modifying the functions to compose messages themselves
when they fail (still mostly automatic), e.g. using message objects
that are false.
