def convert(self, value, param, ctx): (source)

overrides click.types.ParamType.convert

Convert the value to the correct type. This is not called if the value is ``None`` (the missing value). This must accept string values from the command line, as well as values that are already the correct type. It may also convert other compatible types. The ``param`` and ``ctx`` arguments may be ``None`` in certain situations, such as when converting prompt input. If the value cannot be converted, call :meth:`fail` with a descriptive message. :param value: The value to convert. :param param: The parameter that is using this type to convert its value. May be ``None``. :param ctx: The current context that arrived at this value. May be ``None``.

Parameters
value:`t.Any`	Undocumented
param:`t.Optional[Parameter]`	Undocumented
ctx:`t.Optional[Context]`	Undocumented
Returns
`t.Any`	Undocumented
