Details

A network card's hardware address: AC-DE-48-00-00-80.

Shape

One value, held as text in one set form, with no parts: 00-00-5E-00-53-01.

Example

example

MacAddress("AC-DE-48-00-00-80")

MacAddress(raw) checks the text, and text that isn't one breaks the format rule.

text.parse(raw, as: MacAddress) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as ac-de-48-00-00-80, AC:DE:48:00:00:80 or ACDE48000080.

Good to know

It is upper case and joined by -, so change : and lower case first.
== tells you whether two are the same. < and list.sort_by don't take it.
A field that holds one counts as personal data (online), so you don't mark it yourself.

In JSON

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

json

"AC-DE-48-00-00-80""00-00-5E-00-53-01"

Details

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

MacAddress is in the group Web and network, 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: AC-DE-48-00-00-80 and 00-00-5E-00-53-01.

How it is stored

It is stored in one column named for the field, of type text. 00-00-5E-00-53-01 is stored as '00-00-5E-00-53-01'.

How it is shown to people

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

With locale: Locale.en_gb:

Value	Shown
`AC-DE-48-00-00-80`	`AC-DE-48-00-00-80`
`00-00-5E-00-53-01`	`00-00-5E-00-53-01`

Operations

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