Function lit

pub fn lit(value: impl Into<Scalar>) -> ExprRef

Create a new Literal expression from a type that coerces to Scalar.

Example usage

use vortex_array::array::PrimitiveArray;
use vortex_dtype::Nullability;
use vortex_expr::{lit, Literal};
use vortex_scalar::Scalar;

let number = lit(34i32);

let literal = number.as_any()
    .downcast_ref::<Literal>()
    .unwrap();
assert_eq!(literal.value(), &Scalar::primitive(34i32, Nullability::NonNullable));
