RouteOfAdministration

How a medicine is taken (EDQM's Standard Terms), written as its own name, oral, and shown as EDQM words it, "Oral use".

Health; not ordered; since Jadpo 0.1.0.

Make one

Pick one of its variants, RouteOfAdministration.auricular.

text.parse(raw, as: RouteOfAdministration) reads one from its text; text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as by mouth, IV or Oral use.

Variants

14 variants, each written as its own name: auricular, buccal, cutaneous, inhalation, intramuscular, intravenous, nasal, ocular, oral, rectal, subcutaneous, sublingual, transdermal, vaginal.

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.

It is stored in one column named for the field, of type text. intravenous is stored as 'intravenous'.

Shown to people

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

With locale: Locale.en_gb:

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.
