Standard types

Insets

On this page

Space inside each edge (the CSS box model), never negative, written in CSS's order: 8 16 8 16.

Media and visual; not ordered; since Jadpo 0.1.0.

Make one

Build one from its fields, Insets { top: ... right: ... bottom: ... }.

text.parse(raw, as: Insets) reads one from its text; text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as 8 16, 8 or -1 0 0 0.

Fields

Field Type
top Decimal
right Decimal
bottom Decimal
left Decimal

Text, JSON and storage

text.from writes its canonical text, the one form text.parse reads back. JSON sends an object of its parts.

Text JSON
8 16 8 16 {"top":"8","right":"16","bottom":"8","left":"16"}
0 0 0 0 {"top":"0","right":"0","bottom":"0","left":"0"}
0.5 1 1.5 2 {"top":"0.5","right":"1","bottom":"1.5","left":"2"}

It is stored in 4 columns, each named for the field, _ and its suffix. This is 0 0 0 0:

Column Type Holds
<field>_top numeric 0
<field>_right numeric 0
<field>_bottom numeric 0
<field>_left numeric 0

Shown to people

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

With locale: Locale.en_gb:

Value Shown
8 16 8 16 8 16 8 16
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0.5 1 1.5 2 0.5 1 1.5 2

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.
