icalendar.prop.float module

FLOAT values from RFC 5545.

class icalendar.prop.float.vFloat(*args, params: dict[str, Any] | None = None, **kwargs)

Bases: float

Float

Value Name:

FLOAT

Purpose:

This value type is used to identify properties that contain a real-number value.

Format Definition:

This value type is defined by the following notation:

float      = (["+"] / "-") 1*DIGIT ["." 1*DIGIT]

Description:

If the property permits, multiple "float" values are specified by a COMMA-separated list of values.

Example:

1000000.0000001
1.333
-3.14

>>> from icalendar.prop import vFloat
>>> float = vFloat.from_ical('1000000.0000001')
>>> float
1000000.0000001
>>> float = vFloat.from_ical('1.333')
>>> float
1.333
>>> float = vFloat.from_ical('+1.333')
>>> float
1.333
>>> float = vFloat.from_ical('-3.14')
>>> float
-3.14

property VALUE: str

The VALUE parameter or the default.

Purpose:

VALUE explicitly specify the value type format for a property value.

Description:

This parameter specifies the value type and format of the property value. The property values MUST be of a single value type. For example, a "RDATE" property cannot have a combination of DATE-TIME and TIME value types.

If the property's value is the default value type, then this parameter need not be specified. However, if the property's default value type is overridden by some other allowable value type, then this parameter MUST be specified.

Applications MUST preserve the value data for x-name and iana-token values that they don't recognize without attempting to interpret or parse the value data.

Returns:

The VALUE parameter or the default.

Examples

The VALUE defaults to the name of the property. Note that it is case-insensitive but always uppercase.

>>> from icalendar import vBoolean
>>> b = vBoolean(True)
>>> b.VALUE
'BOOLEAN'

Setting the VALUE parameter of a typed property usually does not make sense. For convenience, using this property, the value will be converted to an uppercase string. If you have some custom property, you might use it like this:

>>> from icalendar import vUnknown, Event
>>> v = vUnknown("Some property text.")
>>> v.VALUE = "x-type"  # lower case
>>> v.VALUE
'X-TYPE'
>>> event = Event()
>>> event.add("x-prop", v)
>>> print(event.to_ical())
BEGIN:VEVENT
X-PROP;VALUE=X-TYPE:Some property text.
END:VEVENT

default_value: ClassVar[str] = 'FLOAT'
