Reference: Values and types

Standard types

Email

On this page

An email address, checked as one.

People and contact; not ordered; since Jadpo 0.1.0.

Make one

text.parse(raw, as: Email) reads one from its text; text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as someone, someone@ or @example.com.

Text, JSON and storage

text.from writes its canonical text, the one form text.parse reads back. JSON sends its canonical text as a string.

Text JSON
someone@example.com "someone@example.com"

It is stored in one column named for the field, of type text. someone@example.com is stored as 'someone@example.com'.

Shown to people

text.format(value, locale:) shows it to people in their locale.

With locale: Locale.en_gb:

Value Shown
someone@example.com someone@example.com

Operations

It has the contract's own operations: text.parse, text.from, text.format, json.read, json.write and ==. It isn't ordered, so < and sorting don't take it. Every standard type meets one contract says how they work.
