Inherited from Dock (via SizedEntry, TIEntry):

Method load Loads data into an instance by delegating to Loader methods based on the input's type
Class Variable loaders Undocumented
@Loader[dict]
def load_dict(self, dct: dict): (source)

Loads a JSON dict into this settings entry

Parameters
dct:dictThe dict to load
@Loader[str]
def load_string(self, string: str): (source)

Loads this entry from a string representation

Parameters
string:strThe string to load
def string(self) -> str: (source)
Returns
strA string representation of this entry
min_data_length: int = (source)

The minimum length of this entry's data

If an entry's data is fixed in size, this value is necessarily the length of the data
