NAME Marlin::X::UndefTolerant - Marlin extension to make your constructor forgive undefs. SYNOPSIS package Local::Date { use Types::Common 'Int'; use Marlin ':UndefTolerant', 'year?' => Int, 'month?' => Int, 'day?' => Int; } my $xmas = Local::Date->new( day => 25, month => 12, year => undef ); $xmas->has_day; # true $xmas->has_month; # true $xmas->has_year; # false IMPORTING THIS MODULE The standard way to import Marlin extensions is to include them in the list passed to `use Marlin`: package Local::Date { use Types::Common 'Int'; use Marlin ':UndefTolerant', 'year?' => Int, 'month?' => Int, 'day?' => Int; } It is possible to additionally load it with `use Marlin::X::UndefTolerant`, which won't *do* anything, but might be useful to automatic dependency analysis. package Local::Date { use Types::Common 'Int'; use Marlin::X::UndefTolerant; use Marlin ':UndefTolerant', 'year?' => Int, 'month?' => Int, 'day?' => Int; } DESCRIPTION Marlin has a built-in feature for making attributes undef-tolerant. It makes the constructor treat `attributename => undef` as being equivalent to not passing the value to the constructor at all. However, adding `undef_tolerant => true` to all your attributes is annoying, so this extension does it for you. You can override it on a per-attribute basis by setting `undef_tolerant => false` explicitly. It will also skip any attributes which: * Are required attributes; * Have an `undef` init_arg; or * Have an explicit type constraint defined which allows `undef` as a valid value (for example Maybe[Str] or Bool).
