UkSortCode

On this page

A UK bank's sort code, as six digits: 089999.

Use it beside a UkAccountNumber. For the two together, use BankAccount.

Shape

One value, held as text in one set form, with no parts: 107999.

Example

example
UkSortCode("089999")

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

text.parse(raw, as: UkSortCode) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as 08-99-99, 08999 or 0899991.

Good to know

  • Write it with no dashes. text.format adds them: 08-99-99.
  • == 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
"089999""107999"

Details

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

UkSortCode is in the group Money and banking, 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: 089999 and 107999.

How it is stored

It is stored in one column named for the field, of type text. 107999 is stored as '107999'.

How it is shown to people

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

With locale: Locale.en_gb:

Value Shown
089999 08-99-99
107999 10-79-99

Operations

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