Primitive Types

Primitive types are the most basic building blocks of the pyvider.cty type system. They represent simple, single values.

There are three primitive types in pyvider.cty:

  • CtyString: Represents a string of text.
  • CtyNumber: Represents a number (integer or float).
  • CtyBool: Represents a boolean value (True or False).

CtyString

The CtyString type represents a string of text. You can create a CtyString type and use it to validate raw Python strings:

from pyvider.cty import CtyString

string_type = CtyString()

# Validate a valid string
cty_string = string_type.validate("hello")
assert cty_string.raw_value == "hello"

# Validate an invalid value (will raise a ValidationError)
try:
    string_type.validate(123)
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Validation failed: {e}")

CtyNumber

The CtyNumber type represents a number. It can be an integer or a float.

from pyvider.cty import CtyNumber

number_type = CtyNumber()

# Validate a valid integer
cty_int = number_type.validate(123)
assert cty_int.raw_value == 123

# Validate a valid float
cty_float = number_type.validate(3.14)
assert cty_float.raw_value == 3.14

# Validate an invalid value (will raise a ValidationError)
try:
    number_type.validate("hello")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Validation failed: {e}")

CtyBool

The CtyBool type represents a boolean value (True or False).

from pyvider.cty import CtyBool

bool_type = CtyBool()

# Validate a valid boolean
cty_true = bool_type.validate(True)
assert cty_true.raw_value is True

# Validate an invalid value (will raise a ValidationError)
try:
    bool_type.validate(1)
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Validation failed: {e}")
