Javascript binding API - Generic value storage

Back to the JS Eina page

Eina provides a way to abstract the storage of generic values in an extensible and efficient way, aimed at simple data types.

Syntax

var obj = new efl.value(value);

Parameters

• value - The value to be wrapped. Currently, numerical and string types are supported.

Return type

• Value instance - The newly created wrapper.

Creates a new value wrapper. It can be passed to the native functions and back.

Example usage

var myvalue = new efl.value(42);

Syntax

var unwrapped = valueobj.get();

Unwraps a value and retrieve its contents.

Syntax

valueobj.set(somevalue);

Replaces the wrapped value with the given value. You can set any of the supported values, there's no restriction on the value being of the type set on at the time of instantiation.
