Example

example

Insets { top: 8.0 right: 16.0 bottom: 8.0 left: 16.0 }

text.parse(raw, as: Insets) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as 8 16, 8 or -1 0 0 0.

Good to know

None can be below zero, and text must give all four.
== 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

An object of its parts, in a request, a response or json.write:

json

{"top":"8","right":"16","bottom":"8","left":"16"}{"top":"0","right":"0","bottom":"0","left":"0"}{"top":"0.5","right":"1","bottom":"1.5","left":"2"}

Details

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

Insets 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: 8 16 8 16, 0 0 0 0 and 0.5 1 1.5 2.

How it is stored

It is stored in 4 columns, each named for the field, _ and its suffix. This is 0 0 0 0:

Column	Type	Holds
`<field>_top`	`numeric`	`0`
`<field>_right`	`numeric`	`0`
`<field>_bottom`	`numeric`	`0`
`<field>_left`	`numeric`	`0`

How it is shown to people

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

With locale: Locale.en_gb:

Value	Shown
`8 16 8 16`	`8 16 8 16`
`0 0 0 0`	`0 0 0 0`
`0.5 1 1.5 2`	`0.5 1 1.5 2`

Operations

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