Constructors

Constructor

new GuardContentBlock(data): GuardContentBlock;

Defined in: src/types/messages.ts:874

Parameters

Parameter	Type
data	GuardContentBlockData

Returns

GuardContentBlock

Properties

type

readonly type: "guardContentBlock";

Defined in: src/types/messages.ts:862

Discriminator for guard content.

---

text?

readonly optional text?: GuardContentText;

Defined in: src/types/messages.ts:867

Text content with evaluation qualifiers.

Implementation of

GuardContentBlockData.text

---

image?

readonly optional image?: GuardContentImage;

Defined in: src/types/messages.ts:872

Image content with evaluation qualifiers.

Implementation of

GuardContentBlockData.image

Methods

toJSON()

toJSON(): {
  guardContent: {
     text?: {
        qualifiers: GuardQualifier[];
        text: string;
     };
     image?: {
        format: GuardImageFormat;
        source: {
           bytes: string;
        };
     };
  };
};

Defined in: src/types/messages.ts:894

Serializes the GuardContentBlock to a JSON-compatible ContentBlockData object. Called automatically by JSON.stringify(). Uint8Array image bytes are encoded as base64 string.

Returns

{
  guardContent: {
     text?: {
        qualifiers: GuardQualifier[];
        text: string;
     };
     image?: {
        format: GuardImageFormat;
        source: {
           bytes: string;
        };
     };
  };
}

fromJSON()

static fromJSON(data): GuardContentBlock;

Defined in: src/types/messages.ts:915

Creates a GuardContentBlock instance from its wrapped data format. Base64-encoded image bytes are decoded back to Uint8Array.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
data	{ guardContent: { text?: { qualifiers: GuardQualifier[]; text: string; }; image?: { format: GuardImageFormat; source: { bytes: string | Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>; }; }; }; }	Wrapped GuardContentBlockData to deserialize (accepts both string and Uint8Array for image bytes)
data.guardContent	{ text?: { qualifiers: GuardQualifier[]; text: string; }; image?: { format: GuardImageFormat; source: { bytes: string | Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>; }; }; }	-
data.guardContent.text?	{ qualifiers: GuardQualifier[]; text: string; }	Text content with evaluation qualifiers.
data.guardContent.text.qualifiers	GuardQualifier[]	Qualifiers that specify how this content should be evaluated.
data.guardContent.text.text	string	The text content to be evaluated.
data.guardContent.image?	{ format: GuardImageFormat; source: { bytes: string | Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>; }; }	Image content with evaluation qualifiers.
data.guardContent.image.format	GuardImageFormat	Image format.
data.guardContent.image.source	{ bytes: string | Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>; }	Image source (bytes only).
data.guardContent.image.source.bytes	string | Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>	-

Returns

GuardContentBlock
