type 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.empty
        |> Dict.set "Alice" (makeUser "Alice" 28 1.65)
        |> Dict.set "Bob" (makeUser "Bob" 19 1.82)
        |> Dict.set "Chuck" (makeUser "Chuck" 33 1.75)

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

makeUser : String -> Int -> Float -> User
makeUser name age height =
    { name = name
    , age = age
    , height = height
    }

empty : Dict k v

Create an empty dictionary.

singleton : comparable -> v -> Dict comparable v

Create a dictionary with one key-value pair.

set : comparable -> v -> Dict comparable v -> Dict comparable v

Sets a value for a given key. Existing values will be replaced. If the key isn't already registered, the key-value pair will be inserted.

update :

comparable

-> (Maybe v -> Maybe v)

-> Dict comparable v

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

updateWithDefault :

comparable

-> v

-> (v -> v)

-> Dict comparable v

Same as update but if the key doesn't exist in the dictionary, a default value is passed to the provided update function instead of a Maybe.

remove : comparable -> Dict comparable v -> Dict comparable v

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

isEmpty : Dict k v -> Bool

Determine if a dictionary is empty.

isEmpty empty == True

count : Dict k v -> Int

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

get : comparable -> Dict comparable 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 = Dict.empty |> Dict.set "Tom" Cat |> Dict.set "Jerry" Mouse

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

member : comparable -> Dict comparable v -> Bool

Determine if a key is in a dictionary.

first : Dict k v -> Maybe { key : k, value : v }

Retrieve the first, or lowest, key-value pair.

last : Dict k v -> Maybe { key : k, value : v }

Retrieve the last, or highest, key-value pair.

findFirst :

(k -> v -> Bool)

-> Dict k v

-> Maybe { key : k, value : v

}

Find the first key-value pair that passes the test.

findLast :

(k -> v -> Bool)

-> Dict k v

-> Maybe { key : k, value : v

}

Find the last key-value pair that passes the test.

any : (k -> v -> Bool) -> Dict k v -> Bool

Checks if any key-value pair in the dictionary passes the test.

all : (k -> v -> Bool) -> Dict k v -> Bool

Checks if all key-value pairs in the dictionary passes the test.

keys : Dict k v -> Array k

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

keys (Dict.empty |> Dict.set 0 "Alice" |> Dict.set 1 "Bob") == [ 0, 1 ]

values : Dict k v -> Array v

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

values (Dict.empty |> Dict.set 0 "Alice" |> Dict.set 1 "Bob") == [ "Alice", "Bob" ]

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 -> Array String
getAges users =
    Dict.foldl addAge [] users

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

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

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

keepIf :

(comparable -> v -> Bool)

-> Dict comparable v

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

mapAndKeepJust :

(comparable -> v -> Maybe x)

-> Dict comparable v

-> Dict comparable x

Remove unwanted results of a map operation.

partition :

(comparable -> v -> Bool)

-> Dict comparable v

-> { trues : Dict comparable v, falses : Dict comparable 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.

union : Dict comparable v -> Dict comparable v -> Dict comparable v

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

intersect : Dict comparable v -> Dict comparable v -> Dict comparable 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 comparable a -> Dict comparable b -> Dict comparable a

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

merge :

(comparable -> a -> result -> result)

-> (comparable -> a -> b -> result -> result)

-> (comparable -> b -> result -> result)

-> Dict comparable a

-> Dict comparable b

-> result

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

Only in the left dictionary.
In both dictionaries.
Only in the right dictionary. You then traverse all the keys from lowest to highest, building up whatever you want.
