RevBank::Type

Argument types for declarative RevBank commands

---

Description

A type tells a parameter of a declared command how to parse a word, what to say when that fails, and what to offer for tab completion. A parameter can override each of these with its own keys. See RevBank::Plugins for how declarations use these.

The types are functions, exported by RevBank::Global.

An eager type rejects a word while it is being typed, as soon as the word can no longer become valid. See eager in "Parameter keys" in RevBank::Plugins.

Types

User

A user account, parsed with parse_user, so the value is the canonical account name. Completes to the names of user accounts, including * accounts both with and without the *. Eager.

Amount

A positive amount, parsed with parse_amount, so the value is a RevBank::Amount, and a sum like 21+21 is accepted. Zero is rejected. The amount completes to itself, so 21+21 becomes 42.00. Eager.

Text

Any non-empty word.

Description

Like Text, but rejects a word that is a username or an amount.

Enum($values)

One of the keys of the hash $values, which may also be a coderef that receives the arguments gathered so far and returns the hash. Completes to the keys. Eager.
