PropertyTypeTraits

Compile time templated structure to get information about an SProperty data type.

template<SPropertyType Type>
struct PropertyTypeTraits;

using Value = CppType;

using Type = std::conditional_t<NeedsToBeReference::value, std::conditional_t<PreferConstReference::value, ConstReference, Reference>, std::conditional_t<PreferConstReference::value, ConstReference, Value>>;

The return type of the property is defined in the Type alias, the table below can help:

NeedsToBeReference	PreferConstReference	Type
✅	✅	ConstReference
✅	❌	Reference
❌	❌	Value
