Dynamic and Static
The difference between dynamic and static data.
In entry type definition files, you’ll often see the content is wrapped in a Dynamic
and a Static
module. What does that mean?
- Static values come from the YAML files, so they have been defined there and they will not change while the program runs.
- Dynamic values are kind of like instances of the static values. They are part of the heroes and define how an entry is configured for that hero.
For example, a Spell.Static.t
type is the static representation of a spell: It contains it’s name, IC, duration, target category, and so on. The Spell.Dynamic.t
type is the dynamic representation of the spell for a specific hero: Is the spell active? If yes, which SR does it have?
