# jerryx_arg types ## jerryx_arg_t **Summary** The structure defining a single validation/transformation step. *Note*: For commonly used validators, `arg.h` provides helpers to create the `jerryx_arg_t`s. For example, `jerryx_arg_number ()`, `jerryx_arg_boolean ()`, etc. **Prototype** ```c typedef struct { /** the transform function */ jerryx_arg_transform_func_t func; /** pointer to destination where func should store the result */ void *dest; /** extra information, specific to func */ uintptr_t extra_info; } jerryx_arg_t; ``` **See also** - [jerryx_arg_number](#jerryx_arg_number) - [jerryx_arg_boolean](#jerryx_arg_boolean) - [jerryx_arg_string](#jerryx_arg_string) - [jerryx_arg_utf8_string](#jerryx_arg_utf8_string) - [jerryx_arg_function](#jerryx_arg_function) - [jerryx_arg_native_pointer](#jerryx_arg_native_pointer) - [jerryx_arg_ignore](#jerryx_arg_ignore) - [jerryx_arg_object_properties](#jerryx_arg_object_properties) ## jerryx_arg_object_props_t **Summary** The structure is used in `jerryx_arg_object_properties`. It provides the properties' names, its corresponding JS-to-C mapping and other related information. **Prototype** ```c typedef struct { const jerry_char_t **name_p; /**< property name list of the JS object */ jerry_length_t name_cnt; /**< count of the name list */ const jerryx_arg_t *c_arg_p; /**< points to the array of transformation steps */ jerry_length_t c_arg_cnt; /**< the count of the `c_arg_p` array */ } jerryx_arg_object_props_t; ``` **See also** - [jerryx_arg_object_properties](#jerryx_arg_object_properties) ## jerryx_arg_array_items_t **Summary** The structure is used in `jerryx_arg_array`. It provides the array items' corresponding JS-to-C mappings and count. **Prototype** ```c typedef struct { const jerryx_arg_t *c_arg_p; /**< points to the array of transformation steps */ jerry_length_t c_arg_cnt; /**< the count of the `c_arg_p` array */ } jerryx_arg_array_items_t; ``` **See also** - [jerryx_arg_array](#jerryx_arg_array) ## jerryx_arg_transform_func_t **Summary** Signature of the transform function. Users can create custom transformations by implementing a transform function and using `jerryx_arg_custom ()`. The function is expected to return `undefined` if it ran successfully or return an `Error` in case it failed. The function can use the iterator and the helpers `jerryx_arg_js_iterator_pop ()` and `jerryx_arg_js_iterator_peek ()` to get the next input value. *Note*: A transform function is allowed to consume any number of input values! This enables complex validation like handling different JS function signatures, mapping multiple input arguments to a C struct, etc. The function is expected to store the result of a successful transformation into `c_arg_p->dest`. In case the validation did not pass, the transform should not modify `c_arg_p->dest`. Additional parameters can be provided to the function through `c_arg_p->extra_info`. **Prototype** ```c typedef jerry_value_t (*jerryx_arg_transform_func_t) (jerryx_arg_js_iterator_t *js_arg_iter_p, const jerryx_arg_t *c_arg_p); ``` **See also** - [jerryx_arg_custom](#jerryx_arg_custom) - [jerryx_arg_js_iterator_pop](#jerryx_arg_js_iterator_pop) - [jerryx_arg_js_iterator_peek](#jerryx_arg_js_iterator_peek) ## jerryx_arg_coerce_t Enum that indicates whether an argument is allowed to be coerced into the expected JS type. - JERRYX_ARG_COERCE - the transform will invoke toNumber, toBoolean, toString, etc. - JERRYX_ARG_NO_COERCE - the type coercion is not allowed.

If the argument is `undefined` the transform is successful and `c_arg_p->dest` remains untouched. - JERRYX_ARG_REQUIRED - The argument is required. If the argument is `undefined` the transform will fail and `c_arg_p->dest` remains untouched. **See also** - [jerryx_arg_number](#jerryx_arg_number) - [jerryx_arg_boolean](#jerryx_arg_boolean) - [jerryx_arg_string](#jerryx_arg_string) - [jerryx_arg_function](#jerryx_arg_function) - [jerryx_arg_native_pointer](#jerryx_arg_native_pointer) ## jerryx_arg_round_t Enum that indicates the rounding policy which will be chosen to transform an integer. - JERRYX_ARG_ROUND - use round() method. - JERRYX_ARG_FLOOR - use floor() method. - JERRYX_ARG_CEIL - use ceil() method. **See also** - [jerryx_arg_uint8](#jerryx_arg_uint8) - [jerryx_arg_uint16](#jerryx_arg_uint16) - [jerryx_arg_uint32](#jerryx_arg_uint32) - [jerryx_arg_int8](#jerryx_arg_int8) - [jerryx_arg_int16](#jerryx_arg_int16) - [jerryx_arg_int32](#jerryx_arg_int32) ## jerryx_arg_clamp_t Indicates the clamping policy which will be chosen to transform an integer.
