MooseX::Types::UndefinedType

NAME

MooseX::Types::UndefinedType - a fallback type for when a type cannot be found

VERSION

version 0.50

DESCRIPTION

Whenever a type handle function (e.g. "Int()" can’t find a type constraint under its full name, it assumes it has not yet been defined. It will then return an instance of this class, handling only stringification, name and possible identification of undefined types.

Later, when you try to use the Undefined Type Constraint, autovivification will be attempted.

METHODS

new
Takes a full type name as argument and returns an instance of this class.

name
Returns the stored type name.

__autovivify
Try to see if the type constraint has yet been defined and if so create it.

can_be_inlined
Make sure that if a type hasn’t been defined yet when Moose wants to inline it, we don’t allow inlining.

AUTOLOAD
Try to autovivify and delegate

DESTROY
Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable complains if this isn’t here. TODO to find out why.
