convert

Full name: taxi.stdlib.convert

​

Signature

declare extension function <T> convert(source: Any, targetType: lang.taxi.Type<T>): T

​

Description

Converts a source value to the target type using only the data already available — no service calls are made.

This is faster than a full projection (source as TargetType), but less powerful: only the fields present in the source are mapped. Missing fields are not discovered from services.

// Convert an Order to a Receipt using only the Order's own fields
find {
   receipt: Receipt = Order.convert(Receipt)
}

​

Examples

Converts an Order to a Receipt model using only the fields present in the source, without calling any services.
