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

static double toFloat(value)

• value: dynamic - value to convert.
• returns: double - 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

static double toFloatWithDefault(value, double defaultValue)

• value: dynamic - value to convert.
• defaultValue: double - default value.
• returns: double - 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

static double? toNullableFloat(value)

• value: dynamic - value to convert.
• returns: double? - float value or null when the conversion is not supported.

Examples

var value1 = FloatConverter.toNullableFloat('ABC'); // Result: null
var value2 = FloatConverter.toNullableFloat('123.456'); // Result: 123.456
var value3 = FloatConverter.toNullableFloat(true); // Result: 1
var value4 = FloatConverter.toNullableFloat( Date()); // Result: current milliseconds
