Known usages:
All versions:: 0.29.0-dev, 0.28.1, 0.28.0, 0.28.0-dev, 0.27.2, 0.27.1, 0.27.0, 0.26.3, 0.26.2, 0.26.1, 0.26.0, 0.25.3, 0.25.2, 0.25.1, 0.25.0-dev

Every type is a subtype of Any.

The following operators are supported for all values:

value1 == value2 // equality
value1 != value2 // inequality
value.member     // member access
value?.member    // conditional member access; returns `value.member` if `value` is non-null and `null` otherwise
value ?? default // null coalescing; returns `value` if `value` is non-null and `default` otherwise
value is String  // type test
value as String  // type cast; throws an error unless `value is String`

Methods

link

function

getClass(): Class

Returns the class of this.
link

function

toString(): String

Returns a string representation of this.

This method is used to convert the values of string interpolation expressions to strings.
link

function

ifNonNull<Result>(transform: (NonNull) -> Result): Result?

Returns this |> transform if this is non-null, and null otherwise.

This method is the complement of the ?? operator and the equivalent of an Option type's map and flatMap methods.
