Mapper types

Canvas mapper working with custom Canvas types created and based on native JavaScript types behavior.

Mapper has tree kind of types:

ReturnType - type that mapper node returns. Has the following types:


Type	Description	Example
`String`	Type that represents the string value.	“Some test string value”
`Number`	Type that represents the number value.	1 or 10 or -15
`Boolean`	Type that represents the boolean value.	true or false
`Object`	Type that represents the model of some abstract object.	{ id: 1, name: “Car”, description: “Car that can fly”, }
`Array`	Type that represents the array of `Objects`	[ { id: 1, name: “Car”, description: “Car that can fly”, }, { id: 2, name: “Plane”, description: “Just a plane”, }, ]
`ArrayString`	Type that represents the array of `Strings`	[ “Value 1”, “Value 2”, “Value 3”, ]
`ArrayNumber`	Type that represents the array of `Numbers`	[ 1, 2, 3, ]
`ArrayBoolean`	Type that represents the array of `Booleans`	[ true, false, true, ]
`Any`	Type that represents any of possible types that can be existed in system.	true or 1 or “Value” or { id: 0 } or [1, 2, 3] etc.
`Void`	Type that represents nothing.	You can find it in `Functions` that do some changes without any output values.

NodeType - type of mapper node. Has the following types:


Type	Description	Example
`Property`	General model field.	[string] description
`Constant`	Value that not change through mapping process.	[string] testConstant = “Test Value”
`FixedValue`	Fixed value that not exist in model and shows only value without any key or position in the tree.	You can find it only through manual texting in input.
`Function`	Function\Method. The same with JavaScript function.	[string] concat(testStringArray, “,”)
`AsyncFunction`	The same with `Function` but with asynchronous processing .	[array] filter(testArray, predicate)
`FunctionAssembledArray`	Function assembled array exist only for function argument grouping.	You can find it only through manual texting in simple array inputs.

ArgumentType - type of mapper functions. Has the following types:


Type	Description	Example
`Predicate`	Type that represents predicate (some condition) value.	item.id == 0
`FieldName`	Type that represents argument value as a reference to node.	testConstant as a name of node that exist in source tree.
