NAME

       Moose::Cookbook::Snack::Types - Snippets of code for using Types and Type Constraints

VERSION

       version 2.0604

SYNOPSIS

	 package Point;
	 use Moose;

	 has 'x' => ( isa => 'Int', is => 'ro' );
	 has 'y' => ( isa => 'Int', is => 'rw' );

	 package main;
	 use Try::Tiny;

	 my $point = try {
	     Point->new( x => 'fifty', y => 'forty' );
	 }
	 catch {
	     print "Oops: $_";
	 };

	 my $point;
	 my $xval	      = 'forty-two';
	 my $xattribute       = Point->meta->find_attribute_by_name('x');
	 my $xtype_constraint = $xattribute->type_constraint;

	 if ( $xtype_constraint->check($xval) ) {
	     $point = Point->new( x => $xval, y => 0 );
	 }
	 else {
	     print "Value: $xval is not an " . $xtype_constraint->name . "
";
	 }

DESCRIPTION

       This is the Point example from Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing with type checking added.

       If we try to assign a string value to an attribute that is an "Int", Moose will die with an explicit error message. The error will include
       the attribute name, as well as the type constraint name and the value which failed the constraint check.

       We use Try::Tiny to catch this error message.

       Later, we get the Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object from a Moose::Meta::Attribute and use the Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint to check a value
       directly.

NAME

       Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Immutable - Making Moose fast by making your class immutable

VERSION

       version 2.0604

SYNOPSIS

	 package Point;
	 use Moose;

	 has 'x' => ( isa => 'Int', is => 'ro' );
	 has 'y' => ( isa => 'Int', is => 'rw' );

	 __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;

DESCRIPTION

       The Moose metaclass API provides a "make_immutable()" method. Calling this method does two things to your class. First, it makes it faster.
       In particular, object construction and destruction are effectively "inlined" in your class, and no longer invoke the meta API.

       Second, you can no longer make changes via the metaclass API, such as adding attributes. In practice, this won't be a problem, as you
       rarely need to do this after first loading the class.

CONCLUSION

       We strongly recommend you make your classes immutable. It makes your code much faster, with a small compile-time cost. This will be
       especially noticeable when creating many objects.
