Parse::Method::Signatures(3)         User Contributed Perl Documentation        Parse::Method::Signatures(3)



NAME
       Parse::Method::Signatures - Perl6 like method signature parser

DESCRIPTION
       Inspired by Perl6::Signature but streamlined to just support the subset deemed useful for TryCatch
       and MooseX::Method::Signatures.

TODO
       •   Document the parameter return types.

       •   Probably lots of other things

METHODS
       There are only two public methods to this module, both of which should be called as class methods.
       Both methods accept  either a single (non-ref) scalar as the value for the "input" attribute, or
       normal new style arguments (hash or hash-ref).

   signature
        my $sig = Parse::Method::Signatures->signature( '(Str $foo)' )

       Attempts to parse the (bracketed) method signature. Returns a value or croaks on error.

   param
         my $param = Parse::Method::Signatures->param( 'Str $foo where { length($_) < 10 }')

       Attempts to parse the specification for a single parameter. Returns value or croaks on error.

ATTRIBUTES
       All the attributes on this class are read-only.

   input
       Type: Str

       The string to parse.

   offset
       Type: Int

       Offset into "input" at which to start parsing. Useful for using with Devel::Declare linestring

   signature_class
       Default: Parse::Method::Signatures::Sig

       Type: Str (loaded on demand class name)

   param_class
       Default: Parse::Method::Signatures::Param

       Type: Str (loaded on demand class name)

   type_constraint_class
       Default: Parse::Method::Signatures::TypeConstraint

       Type: Str (loaded on demand class name)

       Class that is used to turn the parsed type constraint into an actual Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
       object.

   from_namespace
       Type: ClassName

       Let this module know which package it is parsing signatures form. This is entirely optional, and the
       only effect is has is on parsing type constraints.

       If this attribute is set it is passed to "type_constraint_class" which can use it to introspect the
       package (commmonly for MooseX::Types exported types). See "find_registered_constraint" in
       Parse::Method::Signature::TypeConstraints for more details.

   type_constraint_callback
       Type: CodeRef

       Passed to the constructor of "type_constraint_class". Default implementation of this callback asks
       Moose for a type constrain matching the name passed in.  If you have more complex requirements, such
       as parsing types created by MooseX::Types then you will want a callback similar to this:

        # my $target_package defined elsewhere.
        my $tc_cb = sub {
          my ($pms_tc, $name) = @_;
          my $code = $target_package->can($name);
          $code ? eval { $code->() }
                : $pms_tc->find_registered_constraint($name);
        }

       Note that the above example is better provided by providing the "from_namespace" attribute.

CAVEATS
       Like Perl6::Signature, the parsing of certain constructs is currently only a 'best effort' -specifically effort'specifically
       specifically default values and where code blocks might not successfully for certain complex cases.
       Patches/Failing tests welcome.

       Additionally, default value specifications are not evaluated which means that no such lexical or
       similar errors will not be produced by this module.  Constant folding will also not be performed.

       There are certain constructs that are simply too much hassle to avoid when the work around is simple.
       Currently the only cases that are known to parse wrong are when using anonymous variables (i.e. just
       sigils) in unpacked arrays. Take the following example:

        method foo (ArrayRef [$, $], $some_value_we_care_about) {

       In this case the $] is treated as one of perl's magic variables (specifically, the patch level of the
       Perl interpreter) rather than a "$" followed by a "]" as was almost certainly intended. The work
       around for this is simple: introduce a space between the charcters:

        method foo (ArrayRef [ $, $ ], $some_value_we_care_about) {

       The same applies
