Example
Year { year: 2026 }text.parse(raw, as: Year) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as 26, 10000 or -2026.
Good to know
==tells you whether two are the same, and<andlist.sort_bycompare and sort them.
In JSON
A string, in a request, a response or json.write:
"1999""2026"
Details
Text form, storage, how it is shown, and operations
Year is in the group Time and calendar, 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: 1999 and 2026.
How it is stored
It is stored in one column named for the field, of type smallint. 2026 is stored as 2026.
How it is shown to people
text.format(value, locale:) shows it to people in their locale.
With locale: Locale.en_gb:
| Value | Shown |
|---|---|
1999 |
1999 |
2026 |
2026 |
Operations
It also takes text.parse, text.from, text.format, json.read, json.write and ==. How every standard type behaves says how they work.
