Enum pax_runtime_api::pax_value::PaxAny

pub enum PaxAny {
    Builtin(PaxValue),
    Any(Box<dyn Any>),
}

This type serves a similar purpose as Box, but allows for special handling of some types, enabling things like coercion.

Variants

Builtin(PaxValue)

Any(Box<dyn Any>)

Implementations

impl PaxAny

pub fn try_clone<T: Clone + 'static>(&self) -> Result<Self, String>

Try to clone the underlying value. Successful in most cases, except if the underlying type is a Box, and it couldn’t be downcast to T

pub fn try_coerce<T: ToFromPaxAny + CoercionRules + 'static>( self ) -> Result<Self, String>

Try to co coerce the inner type to type T. For the any type, just make sure the stored any value is of type T. For a PaxValue, try to coerce it into the expected type
