juce::FromVar Class Reference

Detailed Description

Allows converting a var to an object of arbitrary type.

To use this, you must first ensure that the type passed to convert is set up for serialisation. For details of what this entails, see the docs for SerialisationTraits.

In short, the constant 'marshallingVersion', and either the single function 'serialise()', or the function pair 'load()' and 'save()' must be defined for the type. These may be defined as public members of the type T itself, or as public members of juce::SerialisationTraits<T>, which is a specialisation of the SerialisationTraits template struct for the type T.
