OptionalSnowflake

Represents a value that encapsulate a Snowflake's optional and value state in the Discord API.

Specifically:

• Missing - a Snowflake field that was not present in the serialized entity.

• Value - a Snowflake field that was assigned a non-null value in the serialized entity.

Note that there is no nullable variant present. Use Snowflake? or OptionalSnowflake? for this case instead.

The base class is (de)serializable with kotlinx.serialization.

Note that kotlinx.serialization does not call serializers for values that are not present in the serialized format. Optional fields should have a default value of OptionalSnowflake.Missing:

@Serializable
class DiscordUser(
    val id: Long,
    val username: String,
    val bot: OptionalSnowflake = OptionalSnowflake.Missing
)
