Automatic methods
The following (associated) methods and operators are automatically defined on all user and builtin types (except function types).
==
, !=
The equality and inequality operators are automatically defined on every type (except function types).
copy
Instantiates a copy of the underlying value, with some of the fields changed.
This method has the same number of arguments as the number of fields in the user-defined struct
or enum
-variant. Each argument of copy
has the same name as the corresponding field and is optional (see named arguments).
struct Pair {
first: Int
second: Int
}
...
pair = Pair{1, 2};
pair.copy(second: 3) // == Pair{1, 3}
from_data
from_data
is an associated function that is automatically defined on every user-type, and thus from_data
is a reserved name that can't be used for other methods.
from_data
converts a typeless Data
into something typed.
MyType::from_data(data: Data) -> MyType
serialize
The serialize
method is automatically defined on every user-type, and thus serialize
is a reserved name that can't be used for other methods.
serialize
serializes the underlying data using cbor encoding.
my_instance.serialize() -> ByteArray
Note: when debugging you can inspect the output of
print(my_data.serialize().show())
using this cbor tool.
