Types

type Adder

type Adder interface {
	// Add returns a combination of the current value and other value.
	//
	// If the other value is an unsupported type, an error is returned.
	Add(other ref.Val) ref.Val
}

Adder interface to support '+' operator overloads.

type Comparer

type Comparer interface {
	// Compare this value to the input other value, returning an Int:
	//
	//    this < other  -> Int(-1)
	//    this == other ->  Int(0)
	//    this > other  ->  Int(1)
	//
	// If the comparison cannot be made or is not supported, an error should
	// be returned.
	Compare(other ref.Val) ref.Val
}

Comparer interface for ordering comparisons between values in order to support '<', '<=', '>=', '>' overloads.

type Container

type Container interface {
	// Contains returns true if the value exists within the object.
	Contains(value ref.Val) ref.Val
}

Container interface which permits containment tests such as 'a in b'.

type Divider

type Divider interface {
	// Divide returns the result of dividing the current value by the input
	// denominator.
	//
	// A denominator value of zero results in an error.
	Divide(denominator ref.Val) ref.Val
}

Divider interface to support '/' operator overloads.

type FieldTester

type FieldTester interface {
	// IsSet returns true if the field is defined and set to a non-default
	// value. The method will return false if defined and not set, and an error
	// if the field is not defined.
	IsSet(field ref.Val) ref.Val
}

FieldTester indicates if a defined field on an object type is set to a non-default value.

For use with the `has()` macro.

type Indexer

type Indexer interface {
	// Get the value at the specified index or error.
	Get(index ref.Val) ref.Val
}

Indexer permits random access of elements by index 'a[b()]'.

type Iterable

type Iterable interface {
	// Iterator returns a new iterator view of the struct.
	Iterator() Iterator
}

Iterable aggregate types permit traversal over their elements.

type Iterator

type Iterator interface {
	ref.Val

	// HasNext returns true if there are unvisited elements in the Iterator.
	HasNext() ref.Val

	// Next returns the next element.
	Next() ref.Val
}

Iterator permits safe traversal over the contents of an aggregate type.

type Lister

type Lister interface {
	ref.Val
	Adder
	Container
	Indexer
	Iterable
	Sizer
}

Lister interface which aggregates the traits of a list.

type Mapper

type Mapper interface {
	ref.Val
	Container
	Indexer
	Iterable
	Sizer
}

Mapper interface which aggregates the traits of a maps.

type Matcher

type Matcher interface {
	// Match returns true if the pattern matches the current value.
	Match(pattern ref.Val) ref.Val
}

Matcher interface for supporting 'matches()' overloads.

type Modder

type Modder interface {
	// Modulo returns the result of taking the modulus of the current value
	// by the denominator.
	//
	// A denominator value of zero results in an error.
	Modulo(denominator ref.Val) ref.Val
}

Modder interface to support '%' operator overloads.

type Multiplier

type Multiplier interface {
	// Multiply returns the result of multiplying the current and input value.
	Multiply(other ref.Val) ref.Val
}

Multiplier interface to support '*' operator overloads.

type Negater

type Negater interface {
	// Negate returns the complement of the current value.
	Negate() ref.Val
}

Negater interface to support unary '-' and '!' operator overloads.

type Receiver

type Receiver interface {
	// Receive accepts a function name, overload id, and arguments and returns
	// a value.
	Receive(function string, overload string, args []ref.Val) ref.Val
}

Receiver interface for routing instance method calls within a value.

type Sizer

type Sizer interface {
	// Size returns the number of elements or length of the value.
	Size() ref.Val
}

Sizer interface for supporting 'size()' overloads.

type Subtractor

type Subtractor interface {
	// Subtract returns the result of subtracting the input from the current
	// value.
	Subtract(subtrahend ref.Val) ref.Val
}

Subtractor interface to support binary '-' operator overloads.
