Method: Params::Param#value_type_check

Defined in:
lib/params.rb

#value_type_check(value) ⇒ Object

value_type_check method:

  1. Check if member:‘type’ is one of:Integer, Float, String or Boolean.

  2. input parameter:‘value’ class type is valid to override this parameter.

  3. Return value. The value to override with correct type. A cast from integer to Float will be made for Float parameters which are set with integer values.

  4. Check will be skipped for nil value.
