| 5 | +=SUBTITLE Represent a type without any additional features |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | + class RakuAST::Type::Subset { } |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +The C<RakuAST::Type::Subset> class represents an C<enum> specification. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +=head2 Object introspection |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +C<RakuAST::Type::Subset> object is typically created when parsing |
| 14 | +Raku Programming Language code. So most developers will only need to |
| 15 | +know how to introspect the objects created. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +=head3 is-coercive |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +=begin code :preamble<my $subset> |
| 20 | +say $subset.is-coercive; # True or False |
| 21 | +=end code |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +The C<is-coercive> method returns whether the "of" type is coercive. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +=head3 name |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +=begin code :preamble<my $subset> |
| 28 | +say $subset.name; # RakuAST::Name.from-identifier("Foo") |
| 29 | +=end code |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +Returns the C<L<RakuAST::Name>|/type/RakuAST/Name> object of this |
| 32 | +C<RakuAST::Type::Subset> object. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +=head3 of |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +=begin code :preamble<my $subset> |
| 37 | +say $subset.of; # RakuAST::Type::Simple.from-identifier("Int") |
| 38 | +=end code |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +Returns the C<RakuAST::Type>> object of this C<RakuAST::Type::Subset> |
| 41 | +to which the C<enum> B<values> are constrained. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +=head3 scope |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +=begin code :preamble<my $subset> |
| 46 | +say $subset.scope; # my |
| 47 | +=end code |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +Returns the scope of the C<RakuAST::Type::Subset> object as a string. |
| 50 | +Usually "our", but can also be "my" or "anon". |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +=head3 traits |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +=begin code :preamble<my $subset> |
| 55 | +dd $subset.traits; # () |
| 56 | +=end code |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +Returns a (possibly empty) list of L<C<RakuAST::Trait>|/Type/RakuAST/Trait> |
| 59 | +object that were applied to the C<enum>. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +=head3 where |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +=begin code :preamble<my $subset> |
| 64 | +dd $subset.where; # * %% 2 |
| 65 | +=end code |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Returns the L<C<RakuAST::Expression>|/Type/RakuAST/Expression> object |
| 68 | +that represents the names and values of this C<enum>. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +=head2 Object creation |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +There are is only one way to reate a C<RakuAST::Type::Subset> object. |
| 73 | + |

| 75 | + |
| 76 | +=begin code |
| 77 | +my $subset = RakuAST::Type::Subset.new( |
