NAME Types::UUID - type constraints for UUIDs SYNOPSIS package FroobleStick; use Moo; use Types::UUID; has identifier => ( is => 'lazy', isa => Uuid, coerce => 1, builder => Uuid->generator, ); DESCRIPTION Types::UUID is a type constraint library suitable for use with Moo/Moose attributes, Kavorka sub signatures, and so forth. Type Currently the module only provides one type constraint, which is exported by default. `Uuid` A valid UUID string, as judged by the `is_uuid_string()` function provided by UUID::Tiny. This constraint has coercions from `Undef` (generates a new UUID), `Str` (fixes slightly broken-looking UUIDs, adding missing dashes; also accepts base-64-encoded UUIDs) and URI objects using the `urn:uuid:` URI scheme. Methods The `Uuid` type constraint is actually blessed into a subclass of Type::Tiny, and provides an aditional method: `Uuid->generate` Generates a new UUID. `Uuid->coerce(undef)` would also work, but looks a little odd. `Uuid->generator` Returns a coderef which generates a new UUID. For an example usage, see the "SYNOPSIS". BUGS Please report any bugs to . SEE ALSO Type::Tiny::Manual, UUID::Tiny. AUTHOR Toby Inkster .
