Converter

An uxiverse.com type

The root class for all technical components that convert from one data type to another

PropertyExpected TypeDescription
inputRangeThe input range defines the type(s) of data which a uxi:UIElement can consume. This can be used to choose UIElements automatically. E.g. in the case of a date picker this could be https://schema.org/Date or https://schema.org/DateTime. For the (sub-)uxi:UIElement for selecting a year inside that date picker, a uxi:UIPropertyValueSpecification could be used to narrow down the selection. Also useful for converting, sending or receiving data.
resultA result is an outcome property that's immediately evaluated. It can be used to tell the user what consequences their actions will have. E.g. the result in a currency calculator app, completed user profile data as a result of editing, or a fulfilled workflow after performing a sequence of tasks (before submitting). Technically, results should be treated as immediate/synchronous outcomes, compare with uxi:output for side-effects/asynchronous handling.

inputInput is the value/parameter/prop that gets passed to an element in the UX, and can be empty. This applies to visual as well as non-visual elements.
isInUseByWhen people collaboratively work, the property isInUseBy can be used to make an element non-editable until it is set free. Showing where other users are can also prevent conflicting edits.
