Detailed Description

describes a data type based on a hash

Note
objects of this type are only compatible if their fields are compatible; non-matching fields of other types are automatically considered compatible; change the default "other field type" by calling setDefaultOtherFieldType() to change this; calling setDefaultOtherFieldType() with no argument removes compatibility with non-matching fields in other types

Member Function Documentation

◆ acceptsValue()

auto DataProvider::HashDataType::acceptsValue ( auto  value)
virtual

Returns the value if the value can be assigned to the type.

Parameters
valuethe value to assign to the type
Returns
the value to be assigned; can be converted by the type
Exceptions
RUNTIME-TYPE-ERRORvalue cannot be assigned to type

Implements DataProvider::AbstractDataProviderType.

◆ getOrNothingType()

AbstractDataProviderType DataProvider::HashDataType::getOrNothingType ( )

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

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

◆ getSoftType()

AbstractDataProviderType DataProvider::HashDataType::getSoftType ( )

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

Returns
a "soft" type equivalent to the current type

◆ isAssignableFrom()

bool DataProvider::HashDataType::isAssignableFrom ( AbstractDataProviderType  t)

Returns True if this type can be assigned from values of the argument type.

Note
objects of this type are only compatible if their fields are compatible; if either side is a hash without declared fields, then they are compatible
