NAME

       MouseX::Types - Organize your Mouse types in libraries

SYNOPSIS

   Library Definition
	 package MyLibrary;

	 # predeclare our own types
	 use MouseX::Types
	   -declare => [qw(
	       PositiveInt NegativeInt
	   )];

	 # import builtin types
	 use MouseX::Types::Mouse 'Int';

	 # type definition.
	 subtype PositiveInt,
	     as Int,
	     where { $_ > 0 },
	     message { "Int is not larger than 0" };

	 subtype NegativeInt,
	     as Int,
	     where { $_ < 0 },
	     message { "Int is not smaller than 0" };

	 # type coercion
	 coerce PositiveInt,
	     from Int,
		 via { 1 };

	 1;

   Usage
	 package Foo;
	 use Mouse;
	 use MyLibrary qw( PositiveInt NegativeInt );

	 # use the exported constants as type names
	 has 'bar',
	     isa    => PositiveInt,
	     is     => 'rw';
	 has 'baz',
	     isa    => NegativeInt,
	     is     => 'rw';

	 sub quux {
	     my ($self, $value);

	     # test the value
	     print "positive
" if is_PositiveInt($value);
	     print "negative
" if is_NegativeInt($value);

	     # coerce the value, NegativeInt doesn't have a coercion
	     # helper, since it didn't define any coercions.
	     $value = to_PositiveInt($value) or die "Cannot coerce";
	 }

	 1;
