ContentRating

On this page

An age rating and the body that gave it: BBFC 12A.

Use it for films and games. The rating has to be one of that body's own categories, so BBFC PG-13 is refused.

Shape

Field Type Required?
scheme ContentRatingScheme Yes
rating Text Yes

Its parts keep these rules, and a value that breaks one fails with the rule's name:

  • rating_of_scheme: rating is one of its scheme's categories

Example

example
ContentRating { scheme: ContentRatingScheme.bbfc rating: "12A" }

text.parse(raw, as: ContentRating) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as BBFC PG-13, PEGI 15 or MPAA R.

Good to know

  • == tells you whether two are the same. < and list.sort_by don't take it, so sort by one of its parts instead.

In JSON

A string, in a request, a response or json.write:

json
"BBFC 12A""MPA PG-13""PEGI 16"

Details

Text form, storage, how it is shown, and operations

ContentRating is in the group Media and visual, and has been in Jadpo since 0.1.0.

Text form

text.from writes one standard text form, the same form text.parse reads back: BBFC 12A, MPA PG-13 and PEGI 16.

How it is stored

It is stored in 2 columns, each named for the field, _ and its suffix. This is PEGI 16:

Column Type Holds
<field>_scheme text 'PEGI'
<field>_rating text '16'

How it is shown to people

text.format(value, locale:) shows it to people in their locale.

With locale: Locale.en_gb:

Value Shown
BBFC 12A BBFC 12A
MPA PG-13 MPA PG-13
PEGI 16 PEGI 16
ESRB E10+ ESRB E10+

Operations

It also takes text.parse, text.from, text.format, json.read, json.write and ==. How every standard type behaves says how they work.
