Example

example

RouteOfAdministration.oral

text.parse(raw, as: RouteOfAdministration) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as by mouth, IV or Oral use.

Good to know

text.format shows the standard wording, such as "Oral use".
== 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

"oral""intravenous""subcutaneous"

Details

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

RouteOfAdministration is in the group Health, 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: oral, intravenous and subcutaneous.

How it is stored

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

How it is shown to people

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

With locale: Locale.en_gb:

Value	Shown
`oral`	`Oral use`
`intravenous`	`Intravenous use`
`subcutaneous`	`Subcutaneous use`

Operations

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