ShoeSize

On this page

A shoe size in its system, as the box writes it: UK 7.5, EU 42.

Use it for shoes in a shop. For clothes, use ClothingSize.

Shape

Field Type Required?
system ShoeSizeSystem Yes
size Text Yes

Example

example
ShoeSize { system: ShoeSizeSystem.uk size: "7.5" }

text.parse(raw, as: ShoeSize) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as UK 7,5, UK 7.25 or UK 07.

Good to know

  • A half size is written with a point, 7.5. 7,5 and 7.25 are refused.
  • == 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
"UK 7.5""EU 42""US 9"

Details

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

ShoeSize 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: UK 7.5, EU 42 and US 9.

How it is stored

It is stored in 2 columns, each named for the field, _ and its suffix. This is US 9:

Column Type Holds
<field>_system text 'US'
<field>_size text '9'

How it is shown to people

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

With locale: Locale.en_gb:

Value Shown
UK 7.5 UK 7.5
EU 42 EU 42
US 9 US 9
EU 38.5 EU 38.5

Operations

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