Type:IValue`1: Difference between revisions

The IValue<T> type is an interface type that wraps around a type to provide an interface to read from and write to an object. In practice, FrooxEngine uses the T generic parameter exclusively for value types within the Data Model, and there is no use for an IValue<T> holding a reference type.

An object with a type implementing this interface allows for the object to be sourced in ProtoFlux, which in turn allows for the thing to be written to via a Write node. This does not allow the object to be driven, which requires it to implement ILinkable, usually through an IField<T>.

Components Implementing IValue<T>

The following components implement the IValue<T> type, allowing the component itself to be sourced and written to, which is usually not possible.

+The '''IValue&lt;T&gt;''' type is an [[interface type]] that wraps around a type to provide an interface to read from and write to an object. In practice, FrooxEngine uses the <code>T</code> generic parameter exclusively for [[value types]] within the Data Model, and there is no use for an IValue&lt;T&gt; holding a [[reference type]].
-An IValue<nowiki><T></nowiki> Is a [[Reference Type|reference value type]]. This is used for writing to a value like a variable or components values.
+An object with a type implementing this interface allows for the object to be [[ProtoFlux:Source|sourced]] in ProtoFlux, which in turn allows for the thing to be written to via a [[ProtoFlux:Write|Write]] node. This does <em>not</em> allow the object to be [[Drive|driven]], which requires it to implement [[Type:ILinkable|ILinkable]], usually through an [[Type:IField|IField&lt;T&gt;]].
