NAME

Type::Tiny::Union - union type constraints

STATUS

This module is covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy.

DESCRIPTION

Union type constraints.

This package inherits from Type::Tiny; see that for most documentation. Major differences are listed below:

Attributes

"type_constraints": Arrayref of type constraints.
When passed to the constructor, if any of the type constraints in the union is itself a union type constraint, this is "exploded" into the new union.
"constraint": Unlike Type::Tiny, you cannot pass a constraint coderef to the constructor. Instead rely on the default.
"inlined": Unlike Type::Tiny, you cannot pass an inlining coderef to the constructor. Instead rely on the default.
"parent": Unlike Type::Tiny, you cannot pass an inlining coderef to the constructor. A parent will instead be automatically calculated.
"coercion": You probably do not pass this to the constructor. (It's not currently disallowed, as there may be a use for it that I haven't thought of.)
The auto-generated default will be a Type::Coercion::Union object.

Methods

"find_type_for($value)": Returns the first individual type constraint in the union which $value passes.
"stringifies_to($constraint)": See Type::Tiny::ConstrainedObject.
"numifies_to($constraint)": See Type::Tiny::ConstrainedObject.
"with_attribute_values($attr1 => $constraint1, ...)": See Type::Tiny::ConstrainedObject.

Overloading

•: Arrayrefification calls "type_constraints".
