add M add(K key, V val)

Add the specified key/value pair to the map. If the key is already mapped, then throw ArgErr. Return this. If key does not return true for Obj.isImmutable, then throw NotImmutableErr. If key is null throw NullErr. Throw ReadonlyErr if readonly.

addAll M addAll(M m)

Append the specified map to this map by adding every key/value in m in this map. If any key in m is already mapped then this method will fail (any previous keys will remain mapped potentially leaving this map in an inconsistent state). Return this. Throw ReadonlyErr if readonly. Also see setAll. This method is semanatically equivalent to:

m.each |v, k| { this.add(k, v) }

addIfNotNull @Deprecated { msg="Use addNotNull" }
M addIfNotNull(K key, V? val)

Deprecated - use addNotNull

addList M addList(V[] list, |V,Int->K|? c)

Add the specified list to this map where the values are the list items and the keys are derived by calling the specified function on each item. If the function is null, then the items themselves are used as the keys. If any key is already mapped then this method will fail (any previous keys will remain mapped, potentially leaving this map in an inconsistent state). Return this. Throw ReadonlyErr if readonly. Also see setList.

Examples:

m := [0:"0"]
m.addList(["1","2"]) |Str s->Int| { return s.toInt }
m  =>  [0:"0", 1:"1", 2:"2"]

addNotNull M addNotNull(K key, V? val)

Call add if val is non-null otherwise do nothing. Return this.

all Bool all(|V,K->Bool| c)

Return true if c returns true for all of the key/value pairs in the map. If the list is empty, return true. This method is readonly safe.

any Bool any(|V,K->Bool| c)

Return true if c returns true for any of the key/value pairs in the map. If the map is empty, return false. This method is readonly safe.

caseInsensitive Bool : caseInsensitive

This field configures case sensitivity for maps with Str keys. When set to true, Str keys are compared without regard to case for the following methods: get, containsKey, set, add, setAll, addAll, and remove methods. Only ASCII character case is taken into account. The original case is preserved (keys aren't made all lower or upper case). This field defaults to false.

Getting this field is readonly safe. If you attempt to set this method on a map which is not empty or not typed to use Str keys, then throw UnsupportedOperation. Throw ReadonlyErr if set when readonly. This mode cannot be used concurrently with ordered.

clear M clear()

Remove all key/value pairs from the map. Return this. Throw ReadonlyErr if readonly.

containsKey Bool containsKey(K key)

Return if the specified key is mapped. This method is readonly safe.

def V? : def

The default value to use for get when a key isn't mapped. This field defaults to null. The value of def must be immutable or NotImmutableErr is thrown. Getting this field is readonly safe. Throw ReadonlyErr if set when readonly.

dup M dup()

Create a shallow duplicate copy of this map. The keys and values themselves are not duplicated. The resulting map is always read/write. This method is readonly safe.

each Void each(|V,K| c)

Call the specified function for every key/value pair in the map. This method is readonly safe.

eachWhile Obj? eachWhile(|V,K->Obj?| c)

Iterate every key/value pair in the map until the function returns non-null. If function returns non-null, then break the iteration and return the resulting object. Return null if the function returns null for every key/value pair. This method is readonly safe.

equals virtual Bool equals(Obj? that)

Two Maps are equal if they have the same type and same number of equal key/value pairs.

Examples:

a := Int:Str[1:"one", 2:"two"]
b := Int:Str[2:"two", 1:"one"]
c := Int:Str?[2:"two", 1:"one"]
a == b  =>  true
a == c  =>  false

exclude M exclude(|V,K->Bool| c)

Return a new map containing the key/value pairs for which c returns false. If c returns true for every item, then return an empty map. The inverse of this method is findAll. If this map is ordered or caseInsensitive, then the resulting map is too. This method is readonly safe.

Example:

map := ["off":0, "slow":50, "fast":100]
map.exclude |Int v->Bool| { return v == 0 } => ["slow":50, "fast":100]

find V? find(|V,K->Bool| c)

Return the first value in the map for which c returns true. If c returns false for every pair, then return null. This method is readonly safe.

findAll M findAll(|V,K->Bool| c)

Return a new map containing the key/value pairs for which c returns true. If c returns false for every item, then return an empty map. The inverse of this method is exclude. If this map is ordered or caseInsensitive, then the resulting map is too. This method is readonly safe.

findNotNull M findNotNull()

Return a new map containing all the key/value pairs where value is not null. If this map is ordered or caseInsensitive, then the resulting map is too. This method is readonly safe.

get @Operator
V? get(K key, V? def)

Get the value for the specified key. If key is not mapped, then return the value of the def parameter. If def is omitted it defaults to the def field. This method is readonly safe. Shortcut is a[key].

getChecked V? getChecked(K key, Bool checked)

Get the value for the specified key. If the key is not mapped then return null or raise UnknownKeyErr based on checked flag. This method is readonly safe.

getOrAdd V getOrAdd(K key, |K->V| valFunc)

Get the value for the specified key, or if it doesn't exist then automatically add it. The value function is called to get the value to add, it is only called if the key is not mapped. Throw ReadonlyErr if readonly only if add is required.

getOrThrow V getOrThrow(K key)

Get the value for the specified key or if key is not mapped then raise UnknownKeyErr. This method is readonly safe.

hash virtual Int hash()

Return platform dependent hashcode based on hash of the keys and values.

isEmpty Bool isEmpty()

Return if size() == 0. This method is readonly safe.

isRO Bool isRO()

Return if this Map is readonly. A readonly Map is guaranteed to be immutable (although its values may be mutable themselves). Any attempt to modify a readonly Map will result in ReadonlyErr. Use rw to get a read-write Map from a readonly Map. Methods documented as "readonly safe" may be used safely with a readonly Map. This method is readonly safe.

isRW Bool isRW()

Return if this Map is read-write. A read-write Map is mutable and may be modified. Use ro to get a readonly Map from a read-write Map. This method is readonly safe.

join Str join(Str separator, |V,K->Str|? c)

Return a string by concatenating each key/value pair using the specified separator string. If c is non-null then it is used to format each pair into a string, otherwise "$k: $v" is used. This method is readonly safe.

Example:

m := ["a" : 1, "b" : 2]
m.join(" and ") |Int v, Str k->Str| { return "$v from $k" }
  => 1 from a and 2 from b

keys K[] keys()

Get a list of all the mapped keys. This method is readonly safe.

make new make(Type type)

Constructor for type (must be Map type).

map Obj:Obj? map(|V,K->Obj?| c)

Create a new map with the same keys, but apply the specified closure to generate new values. The new map is typed based on the return type of c. If this map is ordered or caseInsensitive, then the resulting map is too. This method is readonly safe.

Example:

m := [2:2, 3:3, 4:4]
x := m.map |Int v->Int| { return v*2 }
x => [2:4, 3:6, 4:8]

mapNotNull Obj:Obj? mapNotNull(|V,K->Obj?| c)

Convenience for map and findNotNull. Each key/value pair is mapped by the given function and if null is returned it is excluded from the result. The resulting type is based on the return type of c but non-nullable. This method is readonly safe.

ordered Bool : ordered

When set to true, the map maintains the order in which key/value pairs are added to the map. The implementation is based on using a linked list in addition to the normal hashmap. This field defaults to false.

Getting this field is readonly safe. If you attempt to set this method on a map which is not empty, then throw UnsupportedOperation. Throw ReadonlyErr if set when readonly. This mode cannot be used concurrently with caseInsensitive.

reduce Obj? reduce(Obj? init, |Obj?,V,K->Obj?| c)

Reduce is used to iterate through every key/value pair in the map to reduce the map into a single value called the reduction. The initial value of the reduction is passed in as the init parameter, then passed back to the closure along with each key/value pair. This method is readonly safe.

Example:

m := ["2":2, "3":3, "4":4]
m.reduce(100) |Obj r, Int v->Obj| { return (Int)r + v } => 109

remove V? remove(K key)

Remove the key/value pair identified by the specified key from the map and return the value. If the key was not mapped then return null. Throw ReadonlyErr if readonly.

ro M ro()

Get a readonly Map instance with the same contents as this Map (although its values may be mutable themselves). If this Map is already readonly, then return this. Only methods documented as "readonly safe" may be used safely with a readonly Map, all others will throw ReadonlyErr. This method is readonly safe.

rw M rw()

Get a read-write, mutable Map instance with the same contents as this Map. If this Map is already read-write, then return this. This method is readonly safe.

set @Operator
M set(K key, V val)

Set the value for the specified key. If the key is already mapped, this overwrites the old value. If key is not yet mapped this adds the key/value pair to the map. Return this. If key does not return true for Obj.isImmutable, then throw NotImmutableErr. If key is null throw NullErr. Throw ReadonlyErr if readonly.

setAll M setAll(M m)

Append the specified map to this map by setting every key/value in m in this map. Keys in m not yet mapped are added and keys already mapped are overwritten. Return this. Throw ReadonlyErr if readonly. Also see addAll. This method is semanatically equivalent to:

m.each |v, k| { this.set(k, v) }

setList M setList(V[] list, |V,Int->K|? c)

Add the specified list to this map where the values are the list items and the keys are derived by calling the specified function on each item. If the function is null, then the items themselves are used as the keys. If any key is already mapped then it is overwritten. Return this. Throw ReadonlyErr if readonly. Also see addList.

Examples:

m := [0:"0", 2:"old"]
m.setList(["1","2"]) |Str s->Int| { return s.toInt }
m  =>  [0:"0", 1:"1", 2:"2"]

setNotNull M setNotNull(K key, V? val)

Call set if val is non-null otherwise do nothing. Return this.

size Int size()

Get the number of key/value pairs in the list. This method is readonly safe.

toCode Str toCode()

Get this map as a Fantom expression suitable for code generation. The individual keys and values must all respond to the toCode method.

toStr virtual Str toStr()

Return a string representation of the Map. This method is readonly safe.

vals V[] vals()

Get a list of all the mapped values. This method is readonly safe.
