title: System built-ins
|
|
description: >
|
|
When a built-in value is not expressible in Flux, its value may be defined by the hosting environment.
|
|
All such values must have a corresponding builtin statement to declare the existence and type of the built-in value.

Flux contains many preassigned values. These preassigned values are defined in the source files for the various built-in packages.
|
|
|
|
When a built-in value is not expressible in Flux, its value may be defined by the hosting environment.
|
|
All such values must have a corresponding builtin statement to declare the existence and type of the built-in value.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
BuiltinStatement = "builtin" identifer ":" TypeExpression .
|
|
TypeExpression = MonoType ["where" Constraints] .
|
|
|
|
MonoType = Tvar | Basic | Array | Record | Function .
|
|
Tvar = "A" … "Z" .
|
|
Basic = "int" | "uint" | "float" | "string" | "bool" | "time" | "duration" | "bytes" | "regexp" .
|
|
Array = "[" MonoType "]" .
|
|
Record = ( "{" [Properties] "}" ) | ( "{" Tvar "with" Properties "}" ) .
|
|
Function = "(" [Parameters] ")" "=>" MonoType .
|
|
|
|
Properties = Property { "," Property } .
|
|
Property = identifier ":" MonoType .
|
|
|
|
Parameters = Parameter { "," Parameter } .
|
|
Parameter = [ "<-" | "?" ] identifier ":" MonoType .
|
|
|
|
Constraints = Constraint { "," Constraint } .
|
|
Constraint = Tvar ":" Kinds .
|
|
Kinds = identifier { "+" identifier } .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Example
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
builtin filter : (<-tables: [T], fn: (r: T) => bool) => [T]
|
|
