TypeConverter class

Converts arbitrary values into objects specific by TypeCodes. For each TypeCode this class calls corresponding converter which applies extended conversion rules to convert the values.

See TypeCode

Example

var value1 = TypeConverter.toType(TypeCode.Integer, '123.456'); // Result: 123
var value2 = TypeConverter.toType(TypeCode.DateTime, 123); // Result: DateTime(123)
var value3 = TypeConverter.toType(TypeCode.Boolean, 'F'); // Result: false
