Disjunctions

Disjunctions, or sum types, define a new type that is one of several things.

In the example, our Conn definition of earlier is augmented to define the possible values for protocol: "tcp" or "udp". It is an error for a concrete Conn to define anything else than these two values.

#Conn: {
    address:  string
    port:     int
    protocol: "tcp" | "udp"
}

lossy: #Conn & {
    address:  "1.2.3.4"
    port:     8888
    protocol: "udp"
}

#Conn: {
    address:  string
    port:     int
    protocol: "tcp" | "udp"
}
lossy: {
    address:  "1.2.3.4"
    port:     8888
    protocol: "udp"
}
