## Class ParsedValue<V,​T>

- java.lang.Object
- - javafx.css.ParsedValue<V,​T>

-     public class ParsedValue<V,​T>
      extends Object

  A representation of a parsed CSS value. `V` is the type of the parsed value, `T` is the `StyleableProperty` type of the converted value. Instances of `ParsedValue` are created by the CSS parser. For example, the parser creates a `ParsedValue<String,Color>` when it parses a web Color.

  A ParsedValue is meaningful to the code that calculates actual values from parsed CSS values. Elsewhere the value returned by `getValue()` is likely to be obscure, abstruse and perplexing.

  Since:
    JavaFX 8.0

    Fields
    Modifier and Type | Field | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `protected StyleConverter<V,​T>` | `converter` | The `StyleConverter` which converts the parsed value to the type of the `StyleableProperty`.
    `protected V` | `value` | The CSS property value as created by the parser.

  - ### Constructor Summary

    Constructors
    Modifier | Constructor | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `protected` | `ParsedValue​(V value, StyleConverter<V,​T> converter)` | Create an instance of ParsedValue where the value type V is converted to the target type T using the given converter.

  - ### Method Summary

    Modifier and Type | Method | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `T` | `convert​(Font font)` | Convenience method for calling `convert` on this `ParsedValue`.
    `StyleConverter<V,​T>` | `getConverter()` | A `StyleConverter` converts the parsed value to the type of the `StyleableProperty`.
    `V` | `getValue()` |
    `boolean` | `isContainsLookups()` | If value is itself a ParsedValue or sequence of values, and should any of those values need to be looked up, then this flag is set.
    `boolean` | `isLookup()` | If value references another property, then the real value needs to be looked up.

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### value

          protected final V value

      The CSS property value as created by the parser.

    - #### converter

          protected final StyleConverter<V,​T> converter

      The `StyleConverter` which converts the parsed value to the type of the `StyleableProperty`. This may be null, in which case `convert` will return `getValue()`

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### ParsedValue

          protected ParsedValue​(V value,
                                StyleConverter<V,​T> converter)

      Create an instance of ParsedValue where the value type V is converted to the target type T using the given converter. If `converter` is null, then it is assumed that the type of value `V` and the type of target `T` are the same and do not need converted.
      Parameters:
        `value` - the value to be converted
        `converter` - the converter

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getValue

          public final V getValue()

      Returns:
        The CSS property value as created by the parser, which may be null or otherwise incomprehensible.

    - #### getConverter

          public final StyleConverter<V,​T> getConverter()

      A `StyleConverter` converts the parsed value to the type of the `StyleableProperty`. If the `StyleConverter` is null, `convert(javafx.scene.text.Font)` will return `getValue()`
      Returns:
        The `StyleConverter` which converts the parsed value to the type of the `StyleableProperty`. May return null.

    - #### convert

          public T convert​(Font font)

      Convenience method for calling `convert` on this `ParsedValue`.
      Parameters:
        `font` - The `Font` to use when converting a relative value.
      Returns:
        The value converted to the type of the `StyleableProperty`
      See Also:
        `getConverter()`

    - #### isContainsLookups

          public boolean isContainsLookups()

      If value is itself a ParsedValue or sequence of values, and should any of those values need to be looked up, then this flag is set. This does not mean that this particular value needs to be looked up, but that this value contains a value that needs to be looked up.
      Returns:
        true if this value contains a value that needs to be looked up, otherwise false

    - #### isLookup

          public boolean isLookup()

      If value references another property, then the real value needs to be looked up.
      Returns:
        true if value references another property, otherwise false
