Example
VehicleRegistration { country: Country.gb plate: "AB12 CDE" }text.parse(raw, as: VehicleRegistration) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as GB ab12 cde, GB AB12 CDE or GB AB12-.
Good to know
- The mark is kept as its plate shows it: in capitals, with single spaces.
==tells you whether two are the same.<andlist.sort_bydon't take it, so sort by one of its parts instead.
In JSON
A string, in a request, a response or json.write:
"GB AB12 CDE""DE M-AB 1234""FR AA-123-AA"
Details
Text form, storage, how it is shown, and operations
VehicleRegistration 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: GB AB12 CDE, DE M-AB 1234 and FR AA-123-AA.
How it is stored
It is stored in 2 columns, each named for the field, _ and its suffix. This is DE M-AB 1234:
| Column | Type | Holds |
|---|---|---|
<field>_country |
text |
'DE' |
<field>_plate |
text |
'M-AB 1234' |
How it is shown to people
text.format(value, locale:) shows it to people in their locale.
With locale: Locale.en_gb:
| Value | Shown |
|---|---|
GB AB12 CDE |
GB AB12 CDE |
DE M-AB 1234 |
DE M-AB 1234 |
FR AA-123-AA |

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