new DefaultSimple()
Most of the core Simple
s in BajaScript are represented (e.g.baja:String
, baja:Double
etc). However, there will always be someSimple
s that BajaScript won't have support for. If a dedicated JS
constructor for a Simple
can't be found, it will default back to an
instance of a DefaultSimple
.
A DefaultSimple
holds the decoded String
representation of a Simple
.
When creating a Simple
, always use the make()
method instead of
creating a new Object.

Methods
-
decodeAsync(str [, batch])
-
The string encoding of certain Simples may include Type information, or
other data that may be require asynchronous operations to decode. BOX is
designed to handle these situations when decoding data from the station,
but when user code needs to decode string-encoded Simples directly, prefer
this method as it gives the individual Simple a chance to import Types,
etc. to ensure that the decoded Simple is fully correct.The default implementation just returns
decodeFromString
directly.Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description str
string batch
baja.comm.Batch <optional>
optional batch to use
- Inherited From:
Returns:
may return the Simple instance
directly, or a Promise resolving to same - so wrap inPromise.resolve()
if unsure.- Type
- baja.Simple | Promise.<baja.Simple>
-
decodeFromString(str)
-
Decode a
DefaultSimple
from aString
.Parameters:
Name Type Description str
String - Overrides:
Returns:
- Type
- baja.DefaultSimple
-
encodeToString()
-
Encode a
DefaultSimple
to aString
.- Overrides:
Returns:
- Type
- String
-
equals(obj)
-
Equality test.
Parameters:
Name Type Description obj
- Inherited From:
Returns:
- Type
- Boolean
-
equivalent(obj)
-
Equivalence test.
equivalent()
is used to compare if two Objects have equivalent
state, but might not want to return true for equals since it
it has implied semantics for many operations. The default
implementation returns the result of baja.Object#equals.Parameters:
Name Type Description obj
- Inherited From:
Returns:
- Type
- Boolean
-
getAgents( [is], batch)
-
Returns a promise that resolves to the agent list for this Object.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description is
Array.<String> <optional>
An optional array of filters to add to the
agent query.batch
baja.comm.Batch An optional object used to batch network
calls together.- Inherited From:
- See:
Returns:
A promise that will resolve with the Agent Info.
- Type
- Promise
-
getIcon()
-
Return the Object's Icon.

getType()
-
Get the type of this instance.

-
make(str)
-
Make a
DefaultSimple
.Parameters:
Name Type Description str
String the
String
to be used for thisSimple
- Overrides:
Returns:
an instance of the
Simple
- Type
- baja.DefaultSimple
-
newCopy( [exact])
-
Every value may be cloned using the
newCopy
method.Please note that
Simple
s are immutable so they don't
allocate a new instance.Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description exact
Boolean <optional>
true if an exact copy of the value should be
made (only valid in the Component architecture).- Inherited From:
- See:
Returns:
a copy of the value (or the same instance if the value is a
Simple
). -
toString( [cx])
-
Returns the String representation of this object.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description cx
Object <optional>
optional context information to be used when
formatting the string- Inherited From:
- See:
Returns:
a string (if no context passed), or
either a string or a Promise (if context passed). -
valueOf()
-
Return the
String
encoding of aDefaultSimple
