Types Plugin
============
The ``types`` plugin lets you declare types for attributes you use in your
library. For example, you can declare that a ``rating`` field is numeric so that
you can query it with ranges---which isn't possible when the field is considered
a string (the default).
Enable the ``types`` plugin as described in :doc:`/plugins/index` and then add a
``types`` section to your :doc:`configuration file </reference/config>`. The
configuration section should map field name to one of ``int``, ``float``,
``bool``, or ``date``.
Here's an example:
::
types:
rating: int
Now you can assign numeric ratings to tracks and albums and use :ref:`range
queries <numericquery>` to filter them.:
::
beet modify "My favorite track" rating=5
beet ls rating:4..5
beet modify --album "My favorite album" rating=5
beet ls --album rating:4..5
