NAME¶

Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Enum - library of enum-related methods

SYNOPSIS¶

  package My::Class {
    use Moo;
    use Sub::HandlesVia;
    use Types::Standard 'Enum';
    has status => (
      is => 'ro',
      isa => Enum[ 'pass', 'fail' ],
      handles_via => 'Enum',
      handles => {
        'is_pass'      => [ is     => 'pass' ],
        'is_fail'      => [ is     => 'fail' ],
        'assign_pass'  => [ assign => 'pass' ],
        'assign_fail'  => [ assign => 'fail' ],
      },
      default => sub { 'fail' },
    );
  }

Or, using a shortcut:

  package My::Class {
    use Moo;
    use Sub::HandlesVia;
    use Types::Standard 'Enum';
    has status => (
      is => 'ro',
      isa => Enum[ 'pass', 'fail' ],
      handles_via => 'Enum',
      handles => {
        'is_pass'      => 'is_pass',
        'is_fail'      => 'is_fail',
        'assign_pass'  => 'assign_pass',
        'assign_fail'  => 'assign_fail',
      },
      default => sub { 'fail' },
    );
  }

(Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Enum will split on "_".)

DESCRIPTION¶

This is a library of methods for Sub::HandlesVia.

DELEGATABLE METHODS¶

This allows for delegation roughly compatible with MooseX::Enumeration and MooX::Enumeration, even though that's basically a renamed subset of Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::String anyway.

  my $object = My::Class->new( status => 'pass' );
  say $object->is_pass(); ## ==> true
  say $object->is_fail(); ## ==> false

  my $object = My::Class->new( status => 'pass' );
  say $object->is_pass(); ## ==> true
  say $object->is_fail(); ## ==> false
  $object->assign_fail();
  say $object->is_pass(); ## ==> false
  say $object->is_fail(); ## ==> true

TYPE CONSTRAINT SHORTCUT¶

The Enum handler library also allows an "enum" shortcut in the attribute spec.

  package My::Class {
    use Moo;
    use Sub::HandlesVia;
    has status => (
      is          => 'ro',
      enum        => [ 'pass', 'fail' ],
      handles_via => 'Enum',
      handles     => {
        'is_pass'      => [ is     => 'pass' ],
        'is_fail'      => [ is     => 'fail' ],
        'assign_pass'  => [ assign => 'pass' ],
        'assign_fail'  => [ assign => 'fail' ],
      },
      default     => sub { 'fail' },
    );
  }

SHORTCUT CONSTANTS¶

This module provides some shortcut constants for indicating a list of delegations.

  package My::Class {
    use Moo;
    use Types::Standard qw( Enum );
    use Sub::HandlesVia;
    use Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Enum qw( HandleIs );
    has status => (
      is          => 'ro',
      isa         => Enum[ 'pass', 'fail' ],
      handles_via => 'Enum',
      handles     => HandleIs,
      default     => sub { 'fail' },
    );
  }

Any of these shortcuts can be combined using the " | " operator.

    has status => (
      is          => 'ro',
      isa         => Enum[ 'pass', 'fail' ],
      handles_via => 'Enum',
      handles     => HandleIs | HandleSet,
      default     => sub { 'fail' },
    );
