Example

example

Incoterm.fob

text.parse(raw, as: Incoterm) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as F.O.B., FOB 2020 or FO.

Good to know

Earlier rules such as DAT are still read from old data, so don't write new ones.
== tells you whether two are the same. < and list.sort_by don't take it.

In JSON

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

json

"DAT""EXW""FOB"

Details

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

Incoterm is in the group Commerce and logistics, 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: DAT, EXW and FOB.

How it is stored

It is stored in one column named for the field, of type text. EXW is stored as 'EXW'.

How it is shown to people

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

With locale: Locale.en_gb:

Value	Shown
`DAT`	`DAT`
`EXW`	`EXW`
`FOB`	`FOB`

Operations

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