Method: Vpim::DirectoryInfo::Field#value

Defined in:
lib/vpim/field.rb

#value ⇒ Object

The decoded value.

The encoding specified by the #encoding, if any, is stripped.

Note: Both the RFC 2425 encoding param (“b”, meaning base-64) and the vCard 2.1 encoding params (“base64”, “quoted-printable”, “8bit”, and “7bit”) are supported.

FIXME:

  • should use the VALUE parameter

  • should also take a default value type, so it can be converted if VALUE parameter is not present.
