Detailed Description

describes a data type

Member Function Documentation

◆ acceptsValue()

abstract auto DataProvider::AbstractDataProviderType::acceptsValue ( auto value )

pure virtual

returns the value if the value can be assigned to the type

Parameters

value the value to assign to the type

Returns: the value to be assigned; can be converted by the type

Implemented in DataProvider::QoreDataType, DataProvider::ListDataType, DataProvider::QoreDateDataTypeBase, DataProvider::QoreStringDataTypeBase, DataProvider::HashDataType, DataProvider::QoreFloatDataTypeBase, DataProvider::QoreIntDataTypeBase, DataProvider::QoreNumberDataTypeBase, and DataProvider::QoreBoolDataTypeBase.

◆ constructor()

DataProvider::AbstractDataProviderType::constructor ( hash< auto > options )

creates the type and sets options

Parameters

options a hash of options, if any options match supported options for this type, they are set

Exceptions

TYPE-OPTION-ERROR option value has an invalid type

◆ get()

static AbstractDataProviderType DataProvider::AbstractDataProviderType::get	(	string	typename,
		*hash< auto >	options
	)

static

returns an appropriate object for the given type

Parameters

typename	the name of the type; should be a valid Qore type string
options	type options for the data type object

◆ getInputInfo()

hash<DataTypeInfo> DataProvider::AbstractDataProviderType::getInputInfo ( )

returns a description of the type as an input type

Returns

a description of the type as an input type; only the following keys are returned

name
types_returned

◆ getOrNothingType()

AbstractDataProviderType DataProvider::AbstractDataProviderType::getOrNothingType ( )

returns an "or nothing" type equivalent to the current type

The base class method returns the same type; this method must be overridden in child classes to return a usable "or nothing" type

Returns: an "or nothing" type equivalent to the current type

Note: recursively updates fields to "or nothing" types as well

◆ getSoftType()

AbstractDataProviderType DataProvider::AbstractDataProviderType::getSoftType ( )

returns a "soft" type equivalent to the current type

The base class method returns the same type; this method must be overridden in child classes to return a usable "soft" type

Returns: a "soft" type equivalent to the current type

◆ setOption()

DataProvider::AbstractDataProviderType::setOption	(	string	opt,
		auto	value
	)

sets the given option on the type

Parameters

opt	the option to set
value	the value to set

Exceptions

TYPE-OPTION-ERROR invalid option or invalid option type

◆ setOptions()

DataProvider::AbstractDataProviderType::setOptions ( hash< auto > options )

sets options on the type

Parameters

options the options to set; unsupported options are ignored

Exceptions

TYPE-OPTION-ERROR invalid option type
