method Type::castToType(context: CastToTypeContext)

Cast a value to the underlying field type.

This method is implemented differently for every field type. Its job is to cast any value provided to the type. For many types, if a null or undefined value is provided, then that value will simply be returned.

Interface:

• interface CastToTypeContext {
    connection: Connection;  // The connection of the model.
    field: Field;            // The field descriptor that has this type.
    Model: class Model;      // The parent Model class of the field.
    self: Model;             // The model instance.
    value: any;              // The value that should be cast.
  };

Arguments:

• context: CastToTypeContext

  The "context" passed to castToType. This contains all that any type should need to cast a value.

Return value: any
