Struct EarlierAnswers 

pub struct EarlierAnswers<'a> { /* private fields */ }

A read-only view of the answers decoded before the current field in the same scope chain, handed to a DynamicDefault closure.

Lookups take a stable definition ID (command.inputs.value_type) and resolve it against the walk’s open scope chain, exactly like a condition controller: a field inside a repeatable group resolves to the occurrence currently being collected. The view is deliberately forgiving where construction cannot check the closure’s dependencies: an unknown, out-of-scope, later-declared (not yet walked), omitted, inactive, or errored field reads as None — depending on such a field is a contract violation, and the closure must still return a usable default.

Implementations

impl<'a> EarlierAnswers<'a>

pub fn get(&self, field_id: &str) -> Option<&AnswerValue>

The decoded value of the earlier field with the given stable definition ID, resolved in the current scope chain, or None when the field has no decoded value (see the type-level contract).

pub fn get_text(&self, field_id: &str) -> Option<&str>

The text value of an earlier String / Text / Path field, if answered.

pub fn get_bool(&self, field_id: &str) -> Option<bool>

The boolean value of an earlier Bool field, if answered.
