Description
Types::UUID is a type constraint library suitable for use with Moo/Moose attributes, Kavorka sub
signatures, and so forth.
Type
Currently the module only provides one type constraint, which is exported by default.
"Uuid"
A valid UUID string, as judged by the is_uuid_string() function provided by UUID::Tiny.
This constraint has coercions from "Undef" (generates a new UUID), "Str" (fixes slightly broken-
looking UUIDs, adding missing dashes; also accepts base-64-encoded UUIDs) and URI objects using the
"urn:uuid:" URI scheme.
Methods
The "Uuid" type constraint is actually blessed into a subclass of Type::Tiny, and provides an aditional
method:
"Uuid->generate"
Generates a new UUID. "Uuid->coerce(undef)" would also work, but looks a little odd.
"Uuid->generator"
Returns a coderef which generates a new UUID. For an example usage, see the "SYNOPSIS".
