< p > The values in the AutoConnectElements field of the custom Web page are all typed as String. A sketch needs to be converted to an actual data type if the data type required for sketch processing is not a String type.< / p >
< p > The AutoConnect library does not provide the data conversion utility, and its function depends on Arduino language functions or functions of the type class. However, commonly used data conversion methods are generally similar.< / p >
< p > Here, represent examples the typical method for the data type conversion for the AutoConnectElements value of custom Web pages.< / p >

< h2 id = "validation-for-the-value" > Validation for the value< a class = "headerlink" href = "#validation-for-the-value" title = "Permanent link" > ¶ < / a > < / h2 >
< p > To convert input data correctly from the string, it must match its format. The validation implementation with sketches depends on various perspectives. Usually, the tiny devices have no enough power for the lexical analysis completely. But you can reduce the burden for data verification using the < a href = "achandling.html#check-data-against-on-submission" > < strong > pattern< / strong > < / a > of AutoConnectInput.< / p >
< p > By giving a < a href = "acelements.html#pattern" > pattern< / a > to < a href = "apielements.html#pattern" > AutoConnectInput< / a > , you can find errors in data format while typing in custom Web pages. Specifying the input data rule as a < a href = "https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions" > regular expression< / a > will validate the type match during input. If there is an error in the format during input, the background color of the field will change to pink. Refer to section < a href = "achandling.html#check-data-against-on-submission" > < em > Handling the custom Web pages< / em > < / a > .< / p >
< p > However, input data will be transmitted even if the value does not match the pattern. Sketches require the validation of the received data. You can use the < a href = "apielements.html#isvalid" > AutoConnectInput::isValid< / a > function to validate it. The isValid function validates whether the value member variable matches a pattern and returns true or false.< / p >
