LongConverter

Description

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

• Strings are converted to floats, then to longs
• DateTime: total number of milliseconds since unix epoch
• Boolean: 1 for true and 0 for false

Static methods

to_long

Converts value into long or returns 0 when conversion is not possible.

static to_long(value: Any): float

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

to_long_with_default

Converts value into integer or returns default when conversion is not possible.

static to_long_with_default(value: Any, defaultValue: float): float

• value: Any - the value to convert.
• default_value: float - the default value.
• returns: float - long value or default when conversion is not supported

to_nullable_long

Converts value into long or returns None when conversion is not possible.

static to_nullable_long(value: Any): Optional[float]

• value: Any - the value to convert.
• returns: float - long value or None when conversion is not supported.

Examples

import datetime
value1 = LongConverter.to_nullable_long("ABC"); # Returns None
value2 = LongConverter.to_nullable_long("123.456"); # Returns 123
value3 = LongConverter.to_nullable_long(True); # Returns 1
value4 = LongConverter.to_nullable_long(datetime.datetime.now()); # Returns current milliseconds (E.g. 1619869474907)
