safe-castSafe casting of Python base types.BadgesdocsinfotestspackageotherFunctionsFunctionPurposesafe_cast(val, to_type, default=None)Cast value to requested type, if failed, then used default.safe_str(val, default=None)Cast value to type string, if failed, then used default.safe_float(val, ndigits=2, default=None)Cast value to type float, if failed, then used default.safe_int(val, default=None)Cast value to type int, if failed, then used default.safe_dict(val, default=None)Cast value to type dictionary, if failed, then used default.safe_smart_cast(val)Determine type based upon value, and cast to that type.safe_cost(val)Cast value to type float by 4 decimal points.safe_fraction(val)Cast fraction to type float, if failed, then used default.Usagesafe_cast(val, to_type, default=None)Safely cast a value to type, and if failed, returned default if exists.Optional: Pass default value. Returned if casting fails.param val:Value to be cast.param to_type:Safely cast to a specific type.param default:Default if casting fails.return:Return casted value or default.safe_int(val, default=None)Safely cast a value to an integer.Optional: Pass default value. Returned if casting fails.param val:Value to be cast to int.param default:Default if casting fails.return:Return int casted value or default.safe_float(val, ndigits=2, default=None)Safely cast a value to float, remove ‘,’ if exists to ensure strings “1,234.5” are transformed to become “1234.5”.Optional: Pass default value. Returned if casting fails.param val:Value to be cast to float.param ndigits:Number of digits in float.param default:Default if casting fails.return:Return float casted value or default.safe_str(val, default=None)Safely cast a value to a string.Optional: Pass default value. Returned if casting fails.param val:Value to be cast to string.param default:Default if casting fails.return:Return string casted value or default.safe_dict(val, default=None)Safely cast a value to a dictionary.Optional: Pass default value. Returned if casting fails.param val:Value to be cast to dictionary.param default:Default if casting fails.return:Return dictionary casted value or default.safe_smart_cast(val)Safely cast a value to the best matching type.
Optional: Pass default value. Returned if casting fails.param val:Value to be smartly cast.return:Typed valuesafe_fraction(fraction, ndigits=2, default=None)Safely cast a fraction string to float.Optional: Pass default value. Returned if casting fails.param fraction:Value of fraction to be cast to float.param ndigits:Number of digits in float.param default:Default if casting fails.return:Return float casted value or default.Release History0.3.4 (2018-04-20)Update requirements.txt0.3.2 (2018-02-16)Python 2.7 supportedTravis CI testing both Python 2.7 and 3.6.0.3.1 (2018-02-15)migrate to github/TuneLab.0.3.0 (2018-02-05)Added safe_fraction.Verbose exceptions handling.More examples.More tests.0.2.4 (2018-01-25)migrate to github/tuneinc.LICENSE: MIT0.2.3 (2017-12-10)readthedocs.org0.2.0 (2017-12-05)README0.1.3 (2017-10-31)Added comments.0.1.2 (2017-10-19)Update requirements.txt0.1.1 (2017-03-15)Handle empty string -> int/float/dict castingAdded relevant testing0.1.0 (2017-03-14)Production readyCleanup0.0.9 (2017-03-14)Handle None input0.0.8 (2017-03-12)Rename package to ‘safe-cast’0.0.7 (2017-03-09)Renamed inner package folder to underscore: ‘smart_cast.
