[![Build Status](https://circleci.com/gh/ybrliiu/p5-Sub-WrapInType.svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/ybrliiu/p5-Sub-WrapInType) [![Coverage Status](http://codecov.io/github/ybrliiu/p5-Sub-WrapInType/coverage.svg?branch=master)](https://codecov.io/github/ybrliiu/p5-Sub-WrapInType?branch=master) # NAME Sub::WrapInType - Wrap the subroutine to validate the argument type and return type. # SYNOPSIS use Types::Standard -types; use Sub::WrapInType; my $sum = wrap_sub [ Int, Int ], Int, sub { my ($x, $y) = @_; $x + $y; }; $sum->(2, 5); # Returns 7 $sum->('foo'); # Throws an exception my $subtract = wrap_sub [ Int, Int ], Int, sub { my ($x, $y) = @_; "$x - $y"; }; $subtract->(5, 2); # Returns string '5 - 2', error! # DESCRIPTION Sub::WrapInType is wrap the subroutine to validate the argument type and return type. # FUNCTIONS ## wrap\_sub(\\@parameter\_types, $return\_type, $subroutine) If you pass type constraints of parameters, a return type constraint, and a subroutine to this function, Returns the subroutine wrapped in the process of checking the arguments given in the parameter's type constraints and checking the return value with the return value's type constraint. my $sum = wrap_sub [Int, Int], Int, sub { my ($x, $y) = @_; $x + $y; }; $sum->(2, 5); # Returns 7 $sum->('foo'); # Throws an exception (Can not pass string) my $wrong_return_value = wrap_sub [Int, Int], Int, sub { my ($x, $y) = @_; "$x + $y"; }; $wrong_return_value->(2, 5); # Throws an exception (The return value isn't an Integer) $sum->('foo'); # Throws an exception (Can not pass string) The type constraint expects to be passed an object of Type::Tiny. When the subroutine returns multiple return values, it is possible to specify multiple return type constraints. my $multi_return_values = wrap_sub [Int, Int], [Int, Int], sub { my ($x, $y) = @_; ($x, $y); }; my ($x, $y) = $multi_return_values->(0, 1); You can pass named parameters. my $sub = wrap_sub( params => [Int, Int], return => Int, code => sub { my ($x, $y) = @_; $x + $y; }, ); If the <PERL\_NDEBUG> or the <NDEBUG> environment variable is true, the subroutine will not check the argument type and return type. If subroutine returns array or hash, Sub::WrapInType will not be able to check the type as you intended. You should rewrite the subroutine to returns array reference or hash reference. Sub::WrapInType does not support wantarray. ## wrap\_method(\\@parameter\_types, $return\_type, $subroutine) This function skips the type check of the first argument: sub add { my $class = shift; my ($x, $y) = @_; $x + $y; } my $sub = wrap_method [Int, Int], Int, \&add; $sub->(__PACKAGE__, 1, 2); # => 3 # METHODS ## new(\\@parameter\_types, $return\_type, $subroutine, $options) Constract a new Sub::WrapInType object. use Types::Standard -types; use Sub::WrapInType; my $wraped_sub = Sub::WrapInType->new([Int, Int] => Int, sub { $_[0] + $_[1] }); You can pass options. - **check** Default: true The created subroutine check the argument type and return type. If you don't want to check the argument type and return type, pass false. - **skip\_invocant** Default: false The created subroutine skips the type check of the first argument. # LICENSE Copyright (C) mp0liiu.
