Class::Type::Enum is a class builder for type-like classes to represent your enumerated values. In particular, it was built to scratch an itch with DBIx::Class value inflation.
I wouldn't consider the interface stable yet; I'd love feedback on this dist.
When "use"ing Class::Type::Enum:
If you'd like to build an enum that works like a bitfield or some other custom setup, you need only pass a more explicit hashref to Class::Type::Enum.
package BitField { use Class::Type::Enum values => { READ => 1, WRITE => 2, EXECUTE => 4, }; }
Sets up the consuming class as a subclass of Class::Type::Enum and installs functions that are unique to the class.
Your basic constructor, expects only a value corresponding to a symbol in the enum type. Also works as an instance method for enums of the same class.
Does the actual work of "$class->new($value)", also used when inflating values for DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::ClassTypeEnum.
Used when inflating ordinal values for DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::ClassTypeEnum or if you need to work with ordinals directly.
Returns a hashref keyed by symbol, with ordinals as values.
Returns a hashref keyed by ordinal, with symbols as values.
Returns an arrayref of valid symbolic values, in order.
Returns a list of "is_" methods defined for each symbolic value for the class.
This method requires the optional dependency Type::Tiny.
Returns a type constraint suitable for use with Moo and friends.
Test whether or not the given value is a valid symbol in this enum class.
Test whether or not the given value is a valid ordinal in this enum class.
If the given value is already a $class, return it, otherwise try to inflate it as a symbol. Dies on invalid value.
If the given value is already a $class, return it, otherwise try to inflate it as an ordinal. Dies on invalid value.
If the given value is already a $class, return it, otherwise try to inflate it first as an ordinal, then as a symbol. Dies on invalid value.
Given a test symbol, test that the enum instance's value is equivalent.
An exception is thrown if an invalid symbol is provided
Shortcut for "$o->is($value)"
Returns the symbolic value.
Returns the ordinal value.
The string-compare implementation used by overloading. Returns the same values as "cmp". The optional third argument is an artifact of overload, set to true if the order of $o and $other have been reversed in order to make the overloaded method call work.
True if "$o->is(..)" for any of the given cases.
True if "$o->is(..)" for none of the given cases.
