Class: JsonType

Defined in:	lib/Types/JsonTypes.coffee
Inherits:	types.MapManager

Overview

Manages Object-like values.

Variables Summary

type =

"JsonType"

Identifies this class. Use it to check whether this is a json-type or something else.

Examples:

var x = yatta.val('unknown')
if (x.type === "JsonType") {
  console.log JSON.stringify(x.toJson())
}

mutable_default =

true

Whether the default is 'mutable' (true) or 'immutable' (false)

Instance Method Summary

# (void) applyDelete()
# (void) cleanup()
# (Json) toJson() Transform this to a Json.
# (void) setMutableDefault(mutable) Set if the default is 'mutable' or 'immutable'
~ (Json) val()
# (void) _encode() Private

Instance Method Details

# (void) applyDelete()

# (void) cleanup()

# (Json) toJson()

Transform this to a Json. If your browser supports Object.observe it will be transformed automatically when a change arrives. Otherwise you will loose all the sharing-abilities (the new object will be a deep clone)!

TODO: at the moment you don't consider changing of properties. E.g.: let x = {a:[]}. Then x.a.push 1 wouldn't change anything

Returns:

Json

# (void) setMutableDefault(mutable)

Set if the default is 'mutable' or 'immutable'

Parameters:

mutable ( String|Boolean ) — Set either 'mutable' / true or 'immutable' / false

~ (Json) val()
~ (JsonType|WordType|String|Object) val(name)
~ (JsonType) val(name, content)

Overloads:

~ (Json) val()

Get this as a Json object.

Returns:

Json

~ (JsonType|WordType|String|Object) val(name)

Get value of a property.

Parameters:

name ( String ) — Name of the object property.

Returns:

( JsonType|WordType|String|Object ) — Depending on the value of the property. If mutable it will return a Operation-type object, if immutable it will return String/Object.

~ (JsonType) val(name, content)

Set a new property.

Parameters:

name ( String ) — Name of the object property.
content ( Object|String ) — Content of the object property.

Returns:

( JsonType ) — This object. (supports chaining)
