Enum Value 

pub enum Value {
    Null,
    String(String),
    Bool(bool),
    U64(u64),
    I64(i64),
    F64(f64),
    Decimal(Decimal),
    U128(u128),
    I128(i128),
    B32([u8; 32]),
    B64([u8; 64]),
    Bytes(Bytes),
    Array(Vec<Value>),
    Map(IndexMap<String, Value>),
}

Value represents all values that nodes can use as input and output.

Data Types

• Scalar types:
  • Null: Value::Null.
  • Boolean: Value::Bool.
  • Numbers: Value::U64, Value::I64, Value::U128, Value::I128, Value::Decimal, Value::F64.
  • String: Value::String.
  • Binary: Value::B32, Value::B64, Value::Bytes.
• Array: Value::Array
• Map: Value::Map

Node Input

Node receives a flow_value::Map as its input. It is possible to use the map directly, but it is often preferred to convert it to structs or enums of your choice.

Value implements Deserializer, therefore it can be converted to any types supported by Serde. We provide 2 helpers:

• flow_value::from_value - Value to any T: Deserialize.
• flow_value::from_map - Map to any T: Deserialize.

Node Output

Node returns a flow_value::Map as its output.

Building the output directly with flow_value::map! and flow_value::array! macros:

let value = flow_value::map! {
    "customer_name" => "John",
    "items" => flow_value::array![1, 2, 3],
};

Value also implements Serializer, you can use flow_value::to_map to convert any type T: Serialize into value::Map.

#[derive(serde::Serialize)]
struct Order {
    customer_name: String,
    items: Vec<i32>,
}

flow_value::to_map(&Order {
    customer_name: "John".to_owned(),
    items: [1, 2, 3].into(),
})
.unwrap();

JSON representation

When using Value in database and HTTP APIs, it is converted to a JSON object:

{
    "<variant identifier>": <data>
}

Identifiers of each enum variant:

• N: Value::Null
• S: Value::String
• B: Value::Bool
• U: Value::U64
• I: Value::I64
• F: Value::F64
• D: Value::Decimal
• U1: Value::U128
• I1: Value::I128
• B3: Value::B32
• B6: Value::B64
• BY: Value::Bytes
• A: Value::Array
• M: Value::Map

See variant’s documentation to see how data are encoded.

Use serde_json to encode and decode Value as JSON:

use flow_value::Value;

let value = Value::U64(10);

// encode Value to JSON
let json = serde_json::to_string(&value).unwrap();
assert_eq!(json, r#"{"U":"10"}"#);

// decode JSON to Value
let value1 = serde_json::from_str::<Value>(&json).unwrap();
assert_eq!(value1, value);

Variants

        { "S": "hello" }
    ]
}

Map(IndexMap<String, Value>)

A key-value map, implemented with indexmap::IndexMap, will preserve insertion order. Keys are strings and values can be any Value.
