NAME Types::Interface - fuzzy role constraints SYNOPSIS package MyApp::Role::FooBar { use Moose::Role; requires qw( foo bar ); } package MyApp::Class::FooBar { use Moose; # Note, the following line is commented out! # with qw( MyApp::Role::FooBar ); sub foo { 1 } sub bar { 2 } } package MyApp::Class::Main { use Moose; use Types::Interface qw(ObjectDoesInterface); has foobar => ( is => 'ro', isa => ObjectDoesInterface['MyApp::Role::FooBar'], ); } # This is ok... my $obj = MyApp::Class::Main->new( foobar => MyApp::Class::FooBar->new(), ); DESCRIPTION Types::Interface provides a type constraint library suitable for Moose, Mouse, and Moo attributes, Kavorka signatures, and any other place where type constraints might be used. The type constraints it provides are based on the idea that an object or class might fulfil all the requirements for a role without explicitly consuming the role. Type Constraints This module provides the following type constraints: `ObjectDoesInterface[$role]` This type constraint accepts any object where `$object->DOES($role)` returns true, or where the object happens to provide all the methods that form part of the role's API, according to Role::Inspector. This type constraint is a subtype of `Object` from Types::Standard. `ObjectDoesInterface[$role, private => 0]` This type constraint accepts any object where `$object->DOES($role)` returns true, or where the object happens to provide all the public methods (i.e. those not starting with an underscore) that form part of the role's API, according to Role::Inspector. `ClassDoesInterface[$role]` This type constraint accepts any class name where `$class->DOES($role)` returns true, or where the class happens to provide all the methods that form part of the role's API, according to Role::Inspector. This type constraint is a subtype of `LoadableClass` from Types::LoadableClass. `ClassDoesInterface[$role, private => 0]` This type constraint accepts any class name where `$class->DOES($role)` returns true, or where the object class to provide all the public methods (i.e. those not starting with an underscore) that form part of the role's API, according to Role::Inspector.
