NAME

Type::Tiny::Union - union type constraints

STATUS

This module is covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy.

DESCRIPTION

Union type constraints.

This package inherits from Type::Tiny; see that for most documentation. Major differences are listed below:

Attributes

"type_constraints"
Arrayref of type constraints.

When passed to the constructor, if any of the type constraints in the union is itself a union type constraint, this is "exploded" into the new union.

"constraint"
Unlike Type::Tiny, you cannot pass a constraint coderef to the constructor. Instead rely on the default.
"inlined"
Unlike Type::Tiny, you cannot pass an inlining coderef to the constructor. Instead rely on the default.
"parent"
Unlike Type::Tiny, you cannot pass an inlining coderef to the constructor. A parent will instead be automatically calculated.
"coercion"
You probably do not pass this to the constructor. (It's not currently disallowed, as there may be a use for it that I haven't thought of.)

The auto-generated default will be a Type::Coercion::Union object.

Methods

"find_type_for($value)"
Returns the first individual type constraint in the union which $value passes.

Overloading

•
Arrayrefification calls "type_constraints".
