NAME MooseX::Types::LoadableClass - ClassName type constraint with coercion to load the class. SYNOPSIS package MyClass; use Moose; use MooseX::Types::LoadableClass qw/ LoadableClass /; has foobar_class => ( is => 'ro', required => 1, isa => LoadableClass, coerce => 1, ); MyClass->new(foobar_class => 'FooBar'); # FooBar.pm is loaded or an # exception is thrown. DESCRIPTION use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints; my $tc = subtype as ClassName; coerce $tc, from Str, via { Class::MOP::load_class($_); $_ }; I've written those three lines of code quite a lot of times, in quite a lot of places. Now I don't have to. TYPES EXPORTED LoadableClass A normal class / package. LoadableRole Like "LoadableClass", except the loaded package must be a Moose::Role.
