A value declaration.

Usage sample for toplevel value

Getting a model requires applying type arguments to the value declaration with apply() in order to be able to read that value. For example, here is how you would obtain a value model that you can read from a toplevel attribute declaration:

String foo = "Hello";

void test(){
    // We need to apply the the foo declaration in order to get the foo value model
    Value<String> valueModel = `value foo`.apply<String>();
    // This will print: Hello
    print(valueModel.get());
}

Usage sample for attributes

For attributes it is a bit longer, because attributes need to be applied the containing type, so you should use memberApply() and start by giving the containing closed type:

class Outer(){
    shared String foo => "Hello";
}

void test(){
    // Apply the containing closed type `Outer` to the attribute declaration `Outer.foo`
    Attribute<Outer,String> valueModel = `value Outer.foo`.memberApply<Outer,String>(`Outer`);
    // We now have an Attribute, which needs to be applied to a containing instance in order to become a
    // readable value:
    Value<String> boundValueModel = valueModel(Outer());
    // This will print: Hello
    print(boundValueModel.get());
}

memberApplySource Codeshared formal Attribute<Container,Get,Set> memberApply<Container = Nothing, Get = Anything, Set = Nothing>(AppliedType<Object> containerType)

Applies the given closed container type to this attribute declaration in order to obtain an attribute model. See this code sample for an example on how to use this.

Throws
memberGetSource Codeshared actual default Anything memberGet(Object container)

Reads the current value of this attribute on the given container instance.

Throws
memberSetSource Codeshared formal void memberSet(Object container, Anything newValue)

Sets the current value of this attribute on the given container instance.

Throws
  • IncompatibleTypeException

    If the specified container or new value type is not compatible with this attribute.

  • StorageException

    If this attribute is not stored at runtime, for example if it is neither shared nor captured.

setSource Codeshared default void set(Anything newValue)

Sets the current value of this toplevel value.

staticApplySource Codeshared formal Value<Get,Set> staticApply<Get = Anything, Set = Nothing>(AppliedType<Object> containerType)
