class_name Port
## A data type representing a port of a [DeckNode].
##
## Ports are used for connections between [DeckNode]s and can contain data that is passed between
## them on a node.

## The type index of this port.
var type: DeckType.Types
## The label of this port. Used by the renderer to display. How it's displayed depends on the renderer
## and the [member descriptor].
var label: String
## Hints to the renderer on how to display this port.[br]
## Can be either one of these: [code]button textfield spinbox slider textblock codeblock checkbox singlechoice multichoice[/code].[br]
## Additional descriptor properties can be specified after the type, delimited by a colon ([code]:[/code]).[br]
## @experimental
var descriptor: String
## A callback to get this port's value. Intended usage is by renderers that show an input field of some kind.
var value_callback: Callable

## The type of this port (input, output or virtual)
var port_type: DeckNode.PortType
## The local index of this port.
var index_of_type: int
## The global index of this port.
var index: int

## The value of this port.
var value: Variant
