Object (POJO)
Objects in joelang are often called POJOs, or Plain Ol' Joe Objects.
Objects have a shape, similar to tuples.
{
a: 1,
b: 'foo',
c: [3],
d: {
foo: 'bar',
bar: <true, 5>,
},
}
/**
* The shape is:
* {
* a: number,
* b: string,
* c: number[],
* d: { // nested object
* foo: string,
* bar: <bool, number>, // tuple
* },
* }
*/
Conditional items
Unfortunately, objects do not support conditional items like arrays do, as it would cause the shape to be invalid.
Alternatively, a ternary may be used
{
count: 1,
color: someCondition ? 'burnt-orange' : '', // will always be defined, so the shape is correct
needSugar: true,
}
