DESCRIPTION

ArrayObj

An object that consumes List::Objects::WithUtils::Role::Array.

Can be coerced from a plain ARRAY; a shallow copy is performed.

HashObj

An object that consumes List::Objects::WithUtils::Role::Hash.

Can be coerced from a plain HASH; a shallow copy is performed.

ImmutableArray

An object that consumes List::Objects::WithUtils::Role::Array::Immutable.

Can be coerced from a plain ARRAY or an "ArrayObj"; a shallow copy is performed.

TypedArray

An object that consumes List::Objects::WithUtils::Role::Array::Typed.

Not coercible.

TypedArray[`a]

TypedArray can be parameterized with another type constraint specifying the type of its values.

Can be coerced from a plain ARRAY or an "ArrayObj"; a shallow copy is performed. If the parameter also has a coercion, this will be applied to each item in the new array.

In versions prior to "v2.x", subtypes were permitted; "TypedArray[Num]" would accept "array_of(Num, 1, 2, 3.14)" as expected, but also "array_of(Int, 1, 2, 3)" as "Int" is a subtype "Num". This could lead to unexpected behavior. As of "v2.1.1", this has been corrected; the latter would be rejected without an appropriate coercion (for example, specifying "coerce => 1" in a Moo(se) attribute along these lines will coerce the "Int"-typed array object to "Num")

(The "examples/" directory that comes with this distribution contains some examples of parameterized & coercible TypedArrays.)

ImmutableTypedArray

An object that isa List::Objects::WithUtils::Array::Immutable::Typed.

Not coercible.

ImmutableTypedArray[`a]

ImmutableTypedArray can be parameterized with another type constraint, like "TypedArray" (however unlike its mutable counterpart, subtypes are accepted).

Can be coerced from a plain ARRAY or an "ArrayObj".

TypedHash

An object that consumes List::Objects::WithUtils::Role::Hash::Typed.

Not coercible.

TypedHash[`a]

TypedHash can be parameterized with another type constraint, like "TypedArray".

Can be coerced from a plain HASH or a "HashObj". If the parameter also has a coercion, this will be applied to each value in the new hash.

ImmutableTypedHash

An object that isa List::Objects::WithUtils::Hash::Immutable::Typed.

Not coercible.

ImmutableTypedHash[`a]

ImmutableTypedHash can be parameterized with another type constraint, like "TypedHash".

Can be coerced from a plain HASH or an "HashObj".

InflatedHash

An object that isa List::Objects::WithUtils::Hash::Inflated.

Can be coerced from a plain HASH or an "HashObj".

(Available from v1.2.1)

InflatedHash[`a]

InflatedHash can be parameterized with a list of methods expected to be available.

(Available from v1.3.1)
