In Metamodel::ClassHOW§

See primary documentation in context for method new type.

method (:$name, :$repr = 'P6opaque', :$ver, :$auth)

Creates a new type from the metamodel, which we can proceed to build

my $type = Metamodel::ClassHOW.new_type(name => "NewType",
                                        ver => v0.0.1,
                                        auth => 'github:raku' );
$type.HOW.add_method($type,"hey", method { say "Hey" });
$type.hey;     # OUTPUT: «Hey␤»
$type.HOW.compose($type);
my $instance = $type.new;
$instance.hey; # OUTPUT: «Hey␤»

We add a single method by using Higher Order Workings methods, and then we can use that method directly as class method; we can then compose the type, following which we can create already an instance, which will behave in the exact same way.

In Metamodel::EnumHOW§

See primary documentation in context for method new type.

method new_type(:$name!, :$base_type?, :$repr = 'P6opaque', :$is_mixin)

Creates a new type object for an enum. $name is the enum name, $base_type is the type given when the enum is declared using a scoped declaration (if any), and $repr is the type representation passed to the enum using the repr trait. $is_mixin is unused.

In Metamodel::DefiniteHOW§

See primary documentation in context for method new type.

method new_type(:$base_type!, :$definite!)

Creates a new definite type given a base type and definiteness. $definite should either be 1 for :D types or 0 for :U types.

In Metamodel::PackageHOW§

See primary documentation in context for method new type.

method new_type(:$name = '<anon>', :$repr, :$ver, :$auth)

Creates a new package, with optional representation, version and auth field.
