Variants

Implementations

impl Value

pub fn type_name(&self) -> &'static str

A short type name, for isType(...) and diagnostics.

pub fn is_truthy(&self) -> bool

Obsidian truthiness: null / false / 0 / empty string / empty list / empty object are falsey; everything else is truthy. Drives filters and if(...).

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Whether the value is “empty” for isEmpty() / the Filled/Empty summaries: null, empty string, empty list, or empty object.

pub fn as_number(&self) -> Option<f64>

Best-effort numeric coercion (for arithmetic and number(...)). Booleans → 0/1, numeric strings parse, durations → their millisecond count; otherwise None.

pub fn as_str_coerced(&self) -> String

Coerce to a string the way an expression’s + with a string operand would.

pub fn display(&self) -> String

The human-facing rendering used for table cells and string coercion. Numbers drop a trailing .0; lists join with , ; links show their display or basename; dates use their default format.

impl Value

pub fn loose_eq(&self, other: &Value) -> bool

Structural equality used by ==/!= and .contains(...). Numbers compare numerically (incl. across numeric strings), links compare by target, dates by instant; mismatched types are unequal (except numeric coercion).

pub fn loose_cmp(&self, other: &Value) -> Ordering

Ordering for </>/sorting. Numbers and dates order naturally; strings lexicographically (case-insensitive, like Obsidian’s column sort); other combinations fall back to a stable type-name ordering so a sort never panics on mixed columns. Null sorts last.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Value

fn clone(&self) -> Value

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Value

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
