NAME

Types::Standard::HashRef - exporter utility for the HashRef type constraint

SYNOPSIS

  use Types::Standard -types;
  
  # Normal way to validate a hashref of integers.
  #
  HashRef->of( Int )->assert_valid( { one => 1 } );
  
  use Types::Standard::HashRef IntHash => { of => Int },
  
  # Exported shortcut
  #
  assert_IntHash { one => 1 };

STATUS

This module is not covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy.

DESCRIPTION

This is mostly internal code, but can also act as an exporter utility.

Exports

Types::Standard::HashRef can be used experimentally as an exporter.

  use Types::Standard 'Int';
  use Types::Standard::HashRef IntHash => { of => Int };

This will export the following functions into your namespace:

"IntHash"

Multiple types can be exported at once:

  use Types::Standard -types;
  use Types::Standard::HashRef (
    IntHash  => { of => Int },
    NumHash  => { of => Num },
    StrHash  => { of => Str },
  );
  
  assert_IntHash { two => 2 };   # should not die

It's possible to further constrain the hashref using "where":

  use Types::Standard::HashRef MyThing => { of => Int, where => sub { ... } };
