Re: Validating against a Moose type-constraint without setting field

in reply to Validating against a Moose type-constraint without setting field

You want this:

use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints qw[ find_type_constraint ];

# ...

find_type_constraint('MyType')->check( $my_value );

Basically all this does it locate the underlying type constraint object for you. Alternately you could find the type constraint object in the actual class, which is explain in Moose::Cookbook::Snack::Types.
