DefaultSimple

baja. DefaultSimple

new DefaultSimple()

Description:

  • Most of the core Simples in BajaScript are represented (e.g.
    baja:String, baja:Double etc). However, there will always be some
    Simples that BajaScript won't have support for. If a dedicated JS
    constructor for a Simple can't be found, it will default back to an
    instance of a DefaultSimple.

    A DefaultSimple holds the decoded String representation of a Simple.

    When creating a Simple, always use the make() method instead of
    creating a new Object.

Methods

decodeAsync(str, batchopt) → {baja.Simple|Promise.<baja.Simple>}

Description:

  • The string encoding of certain Simples may include Type information, or
    other data that may be require asynchronous operations to decode. BOX is
    designed to handle these situations when decoding data from the station,
    but when user code needs to decode string-encoded Simples directly, prefer
    this method as it gives the individual Simple a chance to import Types,
    etc. to ensure that the decoded Simple is fully correct.

    The default implementation just returns decodeFromString directly.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
str string
batch baja.comm.Batch <optional>

optional batch to use
Returns:

may return the Simple instance
directly, or a Promise resolving to same - so wrap in Promise.resolve()
if unsure.

Type
baja.Simple | Promise.<baja.Simple>

decodeFromString(str) → {baja.DefaultSimple}

Description:

  • Decode a DefaultSimple from a String.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
str String
Returns:
Type
baja.DefaultSimple

encodeToString() → {String}

Description:

  • Encode a DefaultSimple to a String.

equals(obj) → {Boolean}

Description:

  • Equality test.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
obj
Returns:
Type
Boolean

equivalent(obj) → {Boolean}

Description:

  • Equivalence test.

    equivalent() is used to compare if two Objects have equivalent
    state, but might not want to return true for equals since it
    it has implied semantics for many operations. The default
    implementation returns the result of baja.Object#equals.

  • baja.Type#getDisplayName
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
cx Object <optional>

a context to be passed down to Type
Returns:

If no context is provided, the type
display name is returned synchronously as a string. If context provided,
the type display name is resolved via a promise as a string.

Returns:

an instance of the Simple

Type

newCopy(exactopt)

Description:

  • Every value may be cloned using the newCopy method.

    allocate a new instance.
