finos / morphir-elm / Morphir.SDK.Dict

A dictionary mapping unique keys to values. The keys can be any comparable type. This includes Int, Float, Time, Char, String, and tuples or lists of comparable types.

Insert, remove, and query operations all take O(log n) time.

Dictionaries


type alias Dict k v =
AssocList.Dict k v

A dictionary of keys and values. So a Dict String User is a dictionary that lets you look up a String (such as user names) and find the associated User.

import Dict exposing (Dict)

users : Dict String User
users =
    Dict.fromList
        [ ( "Alice", User "Alice" 28 1.65 )
        , ( "Bob", User "Bob" 19 1.82 )
        , ( "Chuck", User "Chuck" 33 1.75 )
        ]

type alias User =
    { name : String
    , age : Int
    , height : Float
    }

Build

empty : Dict k v

Create an empty dictionary.

singleton : comp -> v -> Dict comp v

Create a dictionary with one key-value pair.

insert : comp -> v -> Dict comp v -> Dict comp v

Insert a key-value pair into a dictionary. Replaces value when there is a collision.

update : comp -> (Maybe v -> Maybe v) -> Dict comp v -> Dict comp v

Update the value of a dictionary for a specific key with a given function.

remove : comp -> Dict comp v -> Dict comp v

Remove a key-value pair from a dictionary. If the key is not found, no changes are made.

Query

isEmpty : Dict k v -> Basics.Bool

Determine if a dictionary is empty.

isEmpty empty == True

member : comp -> Dict comp v -> Basics.Bool

Determine if a key is in a dictionary.

get : comp -> Dict comp v -> Maybe v

Get the value associated with a key. If the key is not found, return Nothing. This is useful when you are not sure if a key will be in the dictionary.

animals = fromList [ ("Tom", Cat), ("Jerry", Mouse) ]

get "Tom"   animals == Just Cat
get "Jerry" animals == Just Mouse
get "Spike" animals == Nothing

size : Dict k v -> Basics.Int

Determine the number of key-value pairs in the dictionary.

Lists

keys : Dict k v -> List k

Get all of the keys in a dictionary, sorted from lowest to highest.

keys (fromList [ ( 0, "Alice" ), ( 1, "Bob" ) ]) == [ 0, 1 ]

values : Dict k v -> List v

Get all of the values in a dictionary, in the order of their keys.

values (fromList [ ( 0, "Alice" ), ( 1, "Bob" ) ]) == [ "Alice", "Bob" ]

toList : Dict k v -> List ( k, v )

Convert a dictionary into an association list of key-value pairs, sorted by keys.

fromList : List ( comp, v ) -> Dict comp v

Convert an association list into a dictionary.

Transform

map : (k -> a -> b) -> Dict k a -> Dict k b

Apply a function to all values in a dictionary.

foldl : (k -> v -> b -> b) -> b -> Dict k v -> b

Fold over the key-value pairs in a dictionary from lowest key to highest key.

import Dict exposing (Dict)

getAges : Dict String User -> List String
getAges users =
    Dict.foldl addAge [] users

addAge : String -> User -> List String -> List String
addAge _ user ages =
    user.age :: ages

-- getAges users == [33,19,28]

foldr : (k -> v -> b -> b) -> b -> Dict k v -> b

Fold over the key-value pairs in a dictionary from highest key to lowest key.

import Dict exposing (Dict)

getAges : Dict String User -> List String
getAges users =
    Dict.foldr addAge [] users

addAge : String -> User -> List String -> List String
addAge _ user ages =
    user.age :: ages

-- getAges users == [28,19,33]

filter : (comp -> v -> Basics.Bool) -> Dict comp v -> Dict comp v

Keep only the key-value pairs that pass the given test.

partition : (comp -> v -> Basics.Bool) -> Dict comp v -> ( Dict comp v, Dict comp v )

Partition a dictionary according to some test. The first dictionary contains all key-value pairs which passed the test, and the second contains the pairs that did not.

Combine

union : Dict comp v -> Dict comp v -> Dict comp v

Combine two dictionaries. If there is a collision, preference is given to the first dictionary.

intersect : Dict comp v -> Dict comp v -> Dict comp v

Keep a key-value pair when its key appears in the second dictionary. Preference is given to values in the first dictionary.

diff : Dict comp a -> Dict comp b -> Dict comp a

Keep a key-value pair when its key does not appear in the second dictionary.

merge : (comp -> a -> result -> result) -> (comp -> a -> b -> result -> result) -> (comp -> b -> result -> result) -> Dict comp a -> Dict comp b -> result -> result

The most general way of combining two dictionaries. You provide three accumulators for when a given key appears:

  1. Only in the left dictionary.
  2. In both dictionaries.
  3. Only in the right dictionary.

You then traverse all the keys from lowest to highest, building up whatever you want.
