Enumerations

An Enum namespace for constants that are used across different entities in the Clarity framework.

An enum for storing the general type of the value passed in a print statement.

The enum divides cases into one of the three generic collection types, a single type or none.

The type of value passed to the print statement is indeterminate therefore value element types are either Any or AnyHashable.

The general type of a value is all that is required to handle printing elements appropriately to the console (the purpose of the print statement values argument).

An enum for storing the print type of a message.

The components that are used to build a message string are determined by a combination of the message NodeType, user settings derived from JSON and any arguments passed to the associated print statement.

PrintType contains cases for all possible combinations and none.

An enum for storing the node type state of the message associated with a print number.

Each case is used to specify formatting when displaying the associated message in the console.

An enum for storing the function group state of the message associated with a print number.

Each case is used to specify the formatting of function name node types when displaying the associated message in the console.

Each case is assigned a single character value as an abbreviation of the case name. The values are the same used to specify the FunctionType of a message in the EntityLog JSON although the values are not directly bound.

The grouping of functions named in the enum is not intended to be an exhaustive list or the representation of an ideal demarcation.

The purpose of differential formatting according to function group is as an additional visual aid that makes it easier to spot anomalies or unexpected routes in the control flow. It is also designed to help developers gain understanding of the functionality of unfamiliar code.
