Summary
Extracted and exported the
parseColumnTypemethod from the #257 branch. Related to #273.This is useful not only for RowBinary/Native protocols but also for TS interface codegens, so it is probably worth adding it right away.
For example:
Array(Array(DateTime('Etc/GMT-5')))Currently supported types to parse:
BoolUInt8Int8UInt16Int16UInt32Int32UInt64Int64UInt128Int128UInt256Int256Float32Float64StringFixedString(N)UUIDDateDate32IPv4IPv6Array(arbitrary nesting)Map(arbitrary nesting)Tuple(arbitrary nesting)Enum(including enums in arrays, maps, tuples)DateTime(including timezones)DateTime64(including timezones and various precisions)DecimalNullable,LowCardinalitycombinationsCurrently, not supported (will throw):
Geo(Simple)AggregateFunctionNestedJSONDynamicVariantPlease take a look at the tests for more examples.
The tests are not fully complete, so this will be somewhat "experimental" still.
