Custom data types

With custom data types is possible to create new data types and they are 100% customizable depending on what we need to do.

To use them It’s necessary to extends the class CustomDataType, implement the following methods and register it.

class MyCustomDataType extends CustomDataType
    # ... methods implementations

CustomDataType.register(MyCustomDataType)
