Class StringDictionary<T>

This class implement a typical dictionary using a string as key and the generic type T as value. The underlying implementation relies on an associative array to ensure the best performances. The value can be anything including 'null' but except 'undefined'

Type parameters

  • T

Hierarchy

  • StringDictionary

Index

Accessors

count

  • get count(): number
  • Gets the current count

    Returns number

Methods

addSearch playground for add

  • add(key: string, value: T): boolean
  • Add a new key and its corresponding value

    Parameters

    • key: string

      the key to add

    • value: T

      the value corresponding to the key

    Returns boolean

    true if the operation completed successfully, false if we couldn't insert the key/value because there was already this key in the dictionary

clearSearch playground for clear

  • clear(): void
  • Clear the whole content of the dictionary

    Returns void

containsSearch playground for contains

  • contains(key: string): boolean
  • Check if there's a given key in the dictionary

    Parameters

    • key: string

      the key to check for

    Returns boolean

    true if the key is present, false otherwise

copyFromSearch playground for copyFrom

  • This will clear this dictionary and copy the content from the 'source' one. If the T value is a custom object, it won't be copied/cloned, the same object will be used

    Parameters

    • source: StringDictionary<T>

      the dictionary to take the content from and copy to this dictionary

    Returns void

firstSearch playground for first

  • first<TRes>(callback: (key: string, val: T) => TRes): TRes | null
  • Execute a callback on every occurrence of the dictionary until it returns a valid TRes object. If the callback returns null or undefined the method will iterate to the next key/value pair Note that you can remove any element in this dictionary in the callback implementation

    Type parameters

    • TRes

    Parameters

    • callback: (key: string, val: T) => TRes

      the callback to execute, if it return a valid T instanced object the enumeration will stop and the object will be returned

        • (key: string, val: T): TRes
        • Parameters

          • key: string
          • val: T

          Returns TRes

    Returns TRes | null

    the first item

forEachSearch playground for forEach

  • forEach(callback: (key: string, val: T) => void): void
  • Execute a callback on each key/val of the dictionary. Note that you can remove any element in this dictionary in the callback implementation

    Parameters

    • callback: (key: string, val: T) => void

      the callback to execute on a given key/value pair

        • (key: string, val: T): void
        • Parameters

          • key: string
          • val: T

          Returns void

    Returns void

getSearch playground for get

  • get(key: string): T | undefined
  • Get a value based from its key

    Parameters

    • key: string

      the given key to get the matching value from

    Returns T | undefined

    the value if found, otherwise undefined is returned

getAndRemoveSearch playground for getAndRemove

  • getAndRemove(key: string): Nullable<T>
  • Get the element of the given key and remove it from the dictionary

    Parameters

    • key: string

      defines the key to search

    Returns Nullable<T>

    the value associated with the key or null if not found

getOrAddSearch playground for getOrAdd

  • getOrAdd(key: string, val: T): T
  • Get a value from its key if present in the dictionary otherwise add it

    Parameters

    • key: string

      the key to get the value from

    • val: T

      if there's no such key/value pair in the dictionary add it with this value

    Returns T

    the value corresponding to the key

getOrAddWithFactorySearch playground for getOrAddWithFactory

  • getOrAddWithFactory(key: string, factory: (key: string) => T): T
  • Get a value from its key or add it if it doesn't exist. This method will ensure you that a given key/data will be present in the dictionary.

    Parameters

    • key: string

      the given key to get the matching value from

    • factory: (key: string) => T

      the factory that will create the value if the key is not present in the dictionary. The factory will only be invoked if there's no data for the given key.

        • (key: string): T
        • Parameters

          • key: string

          Returns T

    Returns T

    the value corresponding to the key.

removeSearch playground for remove

  • remove(key: string): boolean
  • Remove a key/value from the dictionary.

    Parameters

    • key: string

      the key to remove

    Returns boolean

    true if the item was successfully deleted, false if no item with such key exist in the dictionary

setSearch playground for set

  • set(key: string, value: T): boolean
  • Update a specific value associated to a key

    Parameters

    • key: string

      defines the key to use

    • value: T

      defines the value to store

    Returns boolean

    true if the value was updated (or false if the key was not found)
