MooseX::Types::Path::Tiny - Path::Tiny types and coercions for Moose
version 0.002
### specification of type constraint with coercion
package Foo;
use Moose;
use MooseX::Types::Path::Tiny qw/Path AbsPath/;
has filename => (
is => 'ro',
isa => Path,
coerce => 1,
);
has directory => (
is => 'ro',
isa => AbsPath,
coerce => 1,
);
### usage in code
Foo->new( filename => 'foo.txt' ); # coerced to Path::Tiny
Foo->new( directory => '.' ); # coerced to path('.')->absolute
This module provides Path::Tiny types for Moose. It handles two important types of coercion:
coercing objects with overloaded stringification
coercing to absolute paths
It also can check to ensure that files or directories exist.
This module uses MooseX::Types to define the following subtypes.
Path
ensures an attribute is a Path::Tiny object. Strings and objects with overloaded stringification may be coerced.
AbsPath
is a subtype of Path
(above), but coerces to an absolute path.
These are just like Path
and AbsPath
, except they check -f
to ensure the file actually exists on the filesystem.
These are just like Path
and AbsPath
, except they check -d
to ensure the directory actually exists on the filesystem.
Path
just ensures you have a Path::Tiny object.
File
and Dir
check the filesystem. Don't use them unless that's really what you want.
Be careful if you pass in a File::Temp object. Because the argument is stringified during coercion into a Path::Tiny object, no reference to the original File::Temp argument is held. Be sure to hold an external reference to it to avoid immediate cleanup of the temporary file or directory at the end of the enclosing scope.
A better approach is to use Path::Tiny's own tempfile
or tempdir
constructors, which hold the reference for you.
Foo->new( filename => Path::Tiny->tempfile );
