Default Values

Defaults🔗

You can set default values on method parameters and return values.

type Type {
    id: int
    name: string
}

interface API {
    function test(id: int = 100, name: string = "test") -> Type {
        return { id = 100, name = "test" }
    }
}

This feature is used by the TYML for VSCode extension.

When opened in VSCode with the extension installed, you should see ▶ Run server and ▶ Run client like this:

Clicking these lets you run a mock server or client so you can quickly test your application with one click.

Notation🔗

Defaults correspond to the actual JSON values used at runtime, but the syntax is slightly different from JSON.

Primitives🔗

Primitive values are the same as JSON:

// int
100
// float
100.0
// string
"text"
// bool
true
false
// null
null

Objects🔗

Objects differ slightly from JSON. Name literals do not need quotes, and : becomes =.

{ id = 100, name = "text" }

Arrays🔗

Arrays are the same as JSON.

[0, 100, null]
