# MooseX::Types::Base(3pm)

Type library base class

## NAME

MooseX::Types::Base - Type library base class

## VERSION

version 0.51

## DESCRIPTION

You normally won't need to interact with this class by yourself. It is merely a collection of functionality that type libraries need to interact with moose and the rest of the MooseX::Types module.

## METHODS

### import

Provides the import mechanism for your library. See "LIBRARY USAGE" in MooseX::Types for syntax details on this.

### get\_type

This returns a type from the library's store by its name.

### type\_names

Returns a list of all known types by their name.

### add\_type

Adds a new type to the library.

### has\_type

Returns true or false depending on if this library knows a type by that name.

### type\_storage

Returns the library's type storage hash reference. You shouldn't use this method directly unless you know what you are doing. It is not an internal method because overriding it makes virtual libraries very easy.

### registered\_class\_types

Returns the class types registered within this library. Don't use directly.

### register\_class\_type

Register a `"class_type"` for use in this library by class name.

### get\_registered\_class\_type

Get a `"class_type"` registered in this library by name.

### registered\_role\_types

Returns the role types registered within this library. Don't use directly.

### register\_role\_type

Register a `"role_type"` for use in this library by role name.

### get\_registered\_role\_type

Get a `"role_type"` registered in this library by role name.
