FloatConverter

Description

The FloatConverter class allows you to convert arbitrary values into float using the following extended conversion rules:

• Strings are converted to float values
• DateTime: total number of milliseconds since unix epoch
• Boolean: 1 for true and 0 for false

Static methods

toFloat

Converts a value into a float or returns 0 when the conversion is not possible.
See DoubleConverter.toDouble

public static toFloat(value: any): number

• value: any - value to convert.
• returns: number - float value or 0 when the conversion is not supported.

toFloatWithDefault

Converts a value into a float or returns a given default when the conversion is not possible.
See DoubleConverter.toDoubleWithDefault,
DoubleConverter.toNullableDouble

public static toFloatWithDefault(value: any, defaultValue: number): number

• value: any - value to convert.
• defaultValue: number - default value.
• returns: number - float value or default value when the conversion is not supported.

toNullableFloat

Converts a value into a float or returns null when the conversion is not possible.
See DoubleConverter.toNullableDouble

public static toNullableFloat(value: any): number

• value: any - value to convert.
• returns: number - float value or null when the conversion is not supported.

Examples

let value1 = FloatConverter.toNullableFloat("ABC"); // Result: null
let value2 = FloatConverter.toNullableFloat("123.456"); // Result: 123.456
let value3 = FloatConverter.toNullableFloat(true); // Result: 1
let value4 = FloatConverter.toNullableFloat(new Date()); // Result: current milliseconds (E.g. 1619869474907)
