CastToType¶
Cast the input value to a certain type.
One use case is for converting a string representation of a type (i.e., a list) into that type, in order to pass into a node requiring that type. Another use case is to convert a value of a certain type (i.e., int or list) into a string representation of that type. Other use cases include converting between different container types (e.g., list, set, dict, array) or numeric type (int vs float). Conversions to bool generally result in True except for empty objects. The node can also seamlessly convert a 1-element list or array to a numeric type (int or float). Note that the node may also receive None values, which are passed through unless pass_through_none is False, in which case they're convertible to bool (False) and string ("None"). Cast to object is a trivial pass-through operation. Version 1.0.1
Ports/Properties¶
input¶
Input value to cast.
output¶
Output value in the selected format.
cast_type¶
The type to which the input value will be cast. Note that additional nested casts beyond some of the most common listed cases are permitted, although not every combination will make sense.
pass_through_none¶
If set, then None values will silently pass through unconverted, even if cast_type is bool or string.
set_breakpoint¶
Set a breakpoint on this node. If this is enabled, your debugger (if one is attached) will trigger a breakpoint.
metadata¶
User-definable meta-data associated with the node. Usually reserved for technical purposes.
