Class SPrimitive<T, TypeName>

a schema node for primitive none-composite and primitive javascript types

Type Parameters

  • T extends JSPrimitive = any

  • TypeName extends PrimitiveType = any

Hierarchy

Properties

name?: string

name of the node, used for object property key naming by parent SchemaRecordNode

doc?: string | true

an optional doc string for this schema node, that should be cleared when MINIFY is true
to achive that, you would want to write your doc strings as follows:

declare const [DEBUG, MINIFY, BUNDLE]: [boolean, boolean, boolean]
const my_schema_node: SPrimitive<number> {
type: "u4l",
doc: MINIFY || "a stupid description of this 32-bit unsinged little piece of endian."
}
type: TypeName

a mandatory kind descriptior of the primitive kind

value?: T

the value held by this schema node. used as a storage for interceptors to interact and read decoded value
it can also used as a means for storing default values for the encoder to utilize.
but besides those two scenarios, it should typically be left unassigned.
this also comes in handy when annotating types both for the encoder or decoder

children: never

an array collection of child element. typically used by non-leaf nodes, such as SchemaRecordNode and SchemaTupleNode

args: any

args that should be passed on to either the type specific encoder or decoder

Methods

  • manually set this schema's type to the provided type_name, and also register the new type_name to global type_registery if register = true.
    this is the only easy way to register type_names of sub-sub-classes of abstract SchemaNode.
    check out SHeadArray to see how it extends SArray, but registers its own type_name = "headarray" that's different from its parent class's type_name = "array"

    Type Parameters

    • NewTypeName extends string

    Returns Require<SPrimitive<T, TypeName>, "children">

  • Parameters

    • value: T & {}

    Returns Require<SPrimitive<T, TypeName>, "value">

  • an abstract static method that creates an instance of this schema class, using a regular javascript object

    Parameters

    Returns SPrimitive<any, any>

  • describe how an instance of this schema node should be encoded into bytes

    Parameters

    • value: T
    • Rest ...args: any[]
