CanonicalizedMap<C, K, V> class

A map whose keys are converted to canonical values of type C.

This is useful for using case-insensitive String keys, for example. It's more efficient than a LinkedHashMap with a custom equality operator because it only canonicalizes each key once, rather than doing so for each comparison.

Implemented types

Constructors

CanonicalizedMap(C canonicalize(K key), {bool isValidKey(K key)?})
Creates an empty canonicalized map.
CanonicalizedMap.from(Map<K, V> other, C canonicalize(K key), {bool isValidKey(K key)?})
Creates a canonicalized map that is initialized with the key/value pairs of other.
CanonicalizedMap.fromEntries(Iterable<MapEntry<K, V>> entries, C canonicalize(K key), {bool isValidKey(K key)?})
Creates a canonicalized map that is initialized with the key/value pairs of entries.

Methods

addAll(Map<K, V> other) → void
Adds all key/value pairs of other to this map.
override
addEntries(Iterable<MapEntry<K, V>> entries) → void
Adds all key/value pairs of newEntries to this map.
override
cast<K2, V2>() Map<K2, V2>
Provides a view of this map as having RK keys and RV instances, if necessary.
override
clear() → void
Removes all entries from the map.
override
containsKey(Object? key) bool
Whether this map contains the given key.
override
containsValue(Object? value) bool
Whether this map contains the given value.
override
copy() CanonicalizedMap<C, K, V>
Copies this CanonicalizedMap instance without recalculating the canonical values of the keys.
forEach(void f(K, V)) → void
Applies action to each key/value pair of the map.
override
map<K2, V2>(MapEntry<K2, V2> transform(K, V)) Map<K2, V2>
Returns a new map where all entries of this map are transformed by the given convert function.
override
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
putIfAbsent(K key, V ifAbsent()) → V
Look up the value of key, or add a new entry if it isn't there.
override
remove(Object? key) → V?
Removes key and its associated value, if present, from the map.
override
removeWhere(bool test(K key, V value)) → void
Removes all entries of this map that satisfy the given test.
override
retype<K2, V2>() Map<K2, V2>
toMap() Map<K, V>
Creates a Map<K,V> (with the original key values). See toMapOfCanonicalKeys.
toMapOfCanonicalKeys() Map<C, V>
Creates a Map<C,V> (with the canonicalized keys). See toMap.
toString() String
A string representation of this object.
override
update(K key, V update(V), {V ifAbsent()?}) → V
Updates the value for the provided key.
override
updateAll(V update(K key, V value)) → void

override

Operators

operator ==(Object other) bool
The equality operator.
inherited
operator [](Object? key) → V?
The value for the given key, or null if key is not in the map.
override
operator []=(K key, V value) → void
Associates the key with the given value.
