Diffo.Type.Primitive (Diffo v0.2.2)

Diffo.Type.Primitive is a discriminated union of primitive types: string, integer, float, boolean, date, time, datetime, and duration.

Use wrap/2 to construct a Primitive from a type name string and a value. Use Diffo.Unwrap.unwrap/1 to extract the value. Outstanding comparison is implemented inline via defoutstanding.

Temporal types

Date, time, datetime, and duration values are stored internally as ISO 8601 strings to avoid nested serialisation issues. Diffo.Unwrap.unwrap/1 returns the string form.

Examples

iex> Diffo.Type.Primitive.wrap("string", "connectivity") |> Diffo.Unwrap.unwrap()
"connectivity"

iex> Diffo.Type.Primitive.wrap("integer", 42) |> Diffo.Unwrap.unwrap()
42

iex> Diffo.Type.Primitive.wrap("float", 3.14) |> Diffo.Unwrap.unwrap()
3.14

iex> Diffo.Type.Primitive.wrap("boolean", false) |> Diffo.Unwrap.unwrap()
false

iex> Diffo.Type.Primitive.wrap("date", ~D[2026-04-24]) |> Diffo.Unwrap.unwrap()
"2026-04-24"

iex> Diffo.Type.Primitive.wrap("unknown", "x")
nil
