const mixinafBedSheet::ValueEncoder
afBedSheet::ValueEncoder
Implement to convert values to and from Str
objects. Contribute it to the ValueEncoders service.
ValueEncoders
are responsible for converting Strs
from request uri segments into request handler method arguments.
In general, Fantom objects use toStr()
and fromStr()
for Str conversion. While this works well for serialisation, it often falls short in the context of a web application. This is because in an application, the object in question is often an entity or DTO from a database, and you need services to create it... which you don't have in a static fromStr()
ctor!
Therefore ValueEncoders
allow you to use the standard afIoc
dependency injection and any service of your choice.
