Class Detail

jQuery.typedValue(value, datatype)

Creates a new jQuery.typedValue object. This should be invoked as a method rather than constructed using new.

intValue = jQuery.typedValue('42', 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#integer');

Parameters:
{String} value: The string representation of the value
{String} datatype: The XML Schema datatype URI

Returns:: {jQuery.typedValue}

Field Detail

datatype

The XML Schema datatype URI for the value's datatype

representation

The string representation of the value

<static> jQuery.typedValue.types

An object that holds the datatypes supported by the script. The properties of this object are the URIs of the datatypes, and each datatype has four properties:

strip: A boolean value that indicates whether whitespace should be stripped from the value prior to testing against the regular expression or passing to the value function.
regex: A regular expression that valid values of the type must match.
validate: Optional. A function that performs further testing on the value.
value: A function that returns a Javascript object equivalent for the value.

You can add to this object as necessary for your own datatypes, and jQuery.typedValue and jQuery.typedValue.valid will work with them.

See:: jQuery.typedValue; jQuery.typedValue.valid

value

The value as an object. The type of the object will depend on the XML Schema datatype URI specified in the constructor. The following table lists the mappings currently supported:

Method Detail

<static> {boolean} jQuery.typedValue.valid(value, datatype)

Checks whether a value is valid according to a given datatype. The datatype must be held in the jQuery.typedValue.types object.

validDate = $.typedValue.valid(date, 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#date');

Parameters:
{String} value: The value to validate.
{String} datatype: The URI for the datatype against which the value will be validated.

Throws:
{String}: Errors if the datatype has not been specified in the jQuery.typedValue.types object.

Returns:: {boolean} True if the value is valid.
