externalAnswerQuestions

This Ability enables an Actor to resolve the value of a given Answerable.

AnswerQuestions is used internally by Actor.answer, and it is unlikely you'll ever need to use it directly in your code. That is, unless you're building a custom Serenity/JS extension and want to override the default behaviour of the framework, in which case you should check out the Contributor's Guide.

Methods

externaltoJSON

• toJSON(): SerialisedAbility

• Inherited from Ability.toJSON

  Returns a JSON representation of the ability and its current state, if available. The purpose of this method is to enable reporting the state of the ability in a human-readable format, rather than to serialise and deserialise the ability itself.

  Returns SerialisedAbility

externalabilityType

  Returns the most abstract type of this Ability instance, specifically the first class in the inheritance hierarchy that directly extends the Ability class.

  class MyAbility extends Ability {}
  class MySpecialisedAbility extends MyAbility {}
  
  new MyAbility().abilityType();            // returns MyAbility
  new MySpecialisedAbility().abilityType(); // returns MyAbility
