=head1 NAME

Class::Tiny::ConstrainedAccessor - Generate Class::Tiny accessors that apply type constraints

=head1 SYNOPSIS

L<Class::Tiny> uses custom accessors if they are defined before the
C<use Class::Tiny> statement in a package.  This module creates custom
accessors that behave as standard C<Class::Tiny> accessors except that
they apply type constraints (C<isa> relationships).  Type constraints
can come from L<Type::Tiny>, L<MooseX::Types>, L<MooX::Types::MooseLike>,
L<MouseX::Types>, or L<Specio>.  Alternatively, constraints can be applied
using the technique described in
L<"Constraints without a type system"|/CONSTRAINTS WITHOUT A TYPE SYSTEM>.

Example of a class using this package:

    package SampleClass;
    use Scalar::Util qw(looks_like_number);

    use Type::Tiny;

    # Create the type constraint
    use vars::i '$MediumInteger' = Type::Tiny->new(
        name => 'MediumInteger',
        constraint => sub { looks_like_number($_) and $_ >= 10 and $_ < 20 }
    );

    use Class::Tiny::ConstrainedAccessor {
        medint => $MediumInteger,           # create accessor sub medint()
        med_with_default => $MediumInteger,
    };

    # After using ConstrainedAccessor, actually define the class attributes.
    use Class::Tiny qw(medint regular), {
        med_with_default => 12,
    };

=head1 CONSTRAINTS WITHOUT A TYPE SYSTEM

If you don't want to use L<Type::Tiny> or one of the other type systems listed
above, you can create your own constraints as two-element arrayrefs.  Example:

    use Class::Tiny::ConstrainedAccessor
        'field' => [ \&checker_sub, \&message_sub ];

C<checker_sub> and C<message_sub> are used as follows to check C<$value>:

    checker_sub($value) or die get_message($value);

Therefore, C<checker_sub> must return truthy if C<$_[0]> passes the constraint,
or else falsy.  C<get_message> must return something that can be passed to
C<die()>, when given a C<$_[0]> that has failed the constraint.

If your profile ever tells you that constraint-checks are on the critical
path, try custom constraints.  They may give you more control or opportunity
for optimization than general-purpose type systems.

=head1 SUBROUTINES

=head2 import

Creates the accessors you have requested.  Constraints can be passed as a list
or hashref of variable/constraint pairs.  Basic usage:

    # Constraints are passed as a list of pairs
    use Class::Tiny::ConstrainedAccessor
        name => constraint
        [, name2 => constraint ...]; # ... any number of name=>constraint pairs

    # Constraints are passed as a hashref
    use Class::Tiny::ConstrainedAccessor {
        name => constraint,
        [, name2 => constraint ...]; # ... any number of name=>constraint pairs
    };

This also creates a L<BUILD()|Class::Tiny/BUILD> subroutine to check the
constructor parameters, if a C<BUILD()> doesn't already exist.

If a C<BUILD()> does exist (e.g., you said C<use subs 'BUILD';>), this package
will create the same function, taking the same parameters as C<BUILD()> would,
but call it C<_check_all_constraints()>.   You can call this checker from your
own C<BUILD()> if you want to.

=head1 OPTIONS

To specify options, pass an B<arrayref> as the first argument on the `use`
line.  This is because a hashref carries attributes and constraints.
For example:

    use Class::Tiny::ConstrainedAccessor [ OPTION=>value ],
        name => constraint ...;

Valid options are:

=over

=item NOBUILD

If C<< NOBUILD => 1 >> is given, the constructor-parameter-checker
is created as C<_check_all_constraints> regardless of whether C<BUILD()>
exists or not.  Example:

    package MyClass;
    use Class::Tiny::ConstrainedAccessor
        [NOBUILD => 1],
        foo => SomeConstraint;
    # Now $object->_check_all_constraints($args) exists, but not BUILD().
