Type

__inspect__

__inspect__: Option<(anyValue, depth, options, inspect) => string>

When defined, returns a custom string representation. To be useful, it should be bound to a prototype (ex: Struct)

import { inspect } from 'node:util';

interface Foo {
  foo: boolean;
}
const Foo = Struct.define<Foo>({
  typeName: 'Foo',
  __inspect__: (self) => `Foo { ${String(self.foo)} }`,
});
const myStruct = Struct.create(Foo, { foo: true });// 'Foo { true }'
inspect(myStruct);// 'Foo { true }'

asInstance

• asInstance(this, anyValue): Option<T>

• Try to convert anyValue to enum value or else returns Option.None

  const StringType: Type<string>;
  StringType.asInstance('foo'); // Option.Some('foo')
  StringType.asInstance(12); // Option.None

hasInstance

• hasInstance(this, anyValue): anyValue is T

• Return true if the given value is an instance of the class.

  const StringType: Type<string>;
  StringType.hasInstance('foo'); // true
  StringType.hasInstance(42); // false
