Make one

Build one from its fields, Year { year: ... }.

text.parse(raw, as: Year) reads one from its text; text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as 26, 10000 or -2026.

Fields

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 smallint. 2026 is stored as 2026.

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 is ordered, so < and sorting take it. Every standard type meets one contract says how they work.
