Class LDValue.Converter<T>

java.lang.Object

com.launchdarkly.client.value.LDValue.Converter<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type to convert from/to

Enclosing class:

LDValue

public abstract static class LDValue.Converter<T>
extends java.lang.Object

Defines a conversion between LDValue and some other type.

Besides converting individual values, this provides factory methods like arrayOf(T...) which transform a collection of the specified type to the corresponding LDValue complex type.

Since:

4.8.0

Method Detail

fromType

public abstract LDValue fromType(T value)

Converts a value of the specified type to an LDValue.

This method should never throw an exception; if for some reason the value is invalid, it should return LDValue.ofNull().

Parameters:

value - a value of this type

Returns:

an LDValue

toType

public abstract T toType(LDValue value)

Converts an LDValue to a value of the specified type.

This method should never throw an exception; if the conversion cannot be done, it should return the default value of the given type (zero for numbers, null for nullable types).

Parameters:

value - an LDValue

Returns:

a value of this type

arrayFrom

public LDValue arrayFrom(java.lang.Iterable<T> values)

Initializes an LDValue as an array, from a sequence of this type.

Values are copied, so subsequent changes to the source values do not affect the array.

Example:

     List<Integer> listOfInts = ImmutableList.<Integer>builder().add(1).add(2).add(3).build();
     LDValue arrayValue = LDValue.Convert.Integer.arrayFrom(listOfInts);
 

Parameters:

values - a sequence of elements of the specified type

Returns:

a value representing a JSON array, or LDValue.ofNull() if the parameter was null

See Also:

LDValue.buildArray()

arrayOf

public LDValue arrayOf(T... values)

Initializes an LDValue as an array, from a sequence of this type.

Values are copied, so subsequent changes to the source values do not affect the array.

Example:

     LDValue arrayValue = LDValue.Convert.Integer.arrayOf(1, 2, 3);
 

Parameters:

values - a sequence of elements of the specified type

Returns:

a value representing a JSON array, or LDValue.ofNull() if the parameter was null

See Also:

LDValue.buildArray()

objectFrom

public LDValue objectFrom(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,T> map)

Initializes an LDValue as an object, from a map containing this type.

Values are copied, so subsequent changes to the source map do not affect the array.

Example:

     Map<String, Integer> mapOfInts = ImmutableMap.<String, Integer>builder().put("a", 1).build();
     LDValue objectValue = LDValue.Convert.Integer.objectFrom(mapOfInts);
 

Parameters:

map - a map with string keys and values of the specified type

Returns:

a value representing a JSON object, or LDValue.ofNull() if the parameter was null

LDValue.buildObject()
