ValueExpression class

  • Reference
Package:
adaptive-expressions

Represents a property which is an object of any kind or a string expression.

Extends

ExpressionProperty<any>

Remarks

If the value is

  • a string with '=' prefix then the string is treated as an expression to resolve to a string.
  • a string without '=' then value is treated as string with string interpolation.
  • You can escape the '=' prefix by putting a backslash. Examples: prop = "Hello @{user.name}" => "Hello Joe" prop = "=length(user.name)" => "3" prop = "=user.name" => "Joe" prop = "=user" => "=user".
