class
HashMap<K, V>

A hash-table based implementation of Map.

The keys of a HashMap must have consistent Object.operator== and Object.hashCode implementations. This means that the == operator must define a stable equivalence relation on the keys (reflexive, symmetric, transitive, and consistent over time), and that hashCode must be the same for objects that are considered equal by ==.

The map allows null as a key.

Iterating the map's keys, values or entries (through forEach) may happen in any order. The itearation order only changes when the map is modified. Values are iterated in the same order as their associated keys, so iterating the keys and values in parallel will give matching key and value pairs.

Properties

bool isEmpty
read-only , inherited
Returns true if there is no key-value pair in the map.
Iterable<K> keys
read-only , inherited
The keys of [this].
Iterable<V> values
read-only , inherited
The values of [this].
bool isNotEmpty
read-only , inherited
Returns true if there is at least one key-value pair in the map.
int length
read-only , inherited
The number of key-value pairs in the map.

Constructors

HashMap({bool equals(K key1, K key2), int hashCode(K key), bool isValidKey(potentialKey)})
Creates an unordered hash-table based Map.
HashMap.identity()
Creates an unordered identity-based map.
HashMap.from(Map other)
Creates a HashMap that contains all key/value pairs of other.
HashMap.fromIterable(Iterable iterable, {K key(element), V value(element)})
Creates a HashMap where the keys and values are computed from the iterable.
HashMap.fromIterables(Iterable<K> keys, Iterable<V> values)
Creates a HashMap associating the given keys to values.

Operators

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

Methods

containsValue(Object value) → bool
inherited
Returns true if this map contains the given value.
remove(Object key) → V
inherited
Removes key and its associated value, if present, from the map.
clear() → void
inherited
Removes all pairs from the map.
containsKey(Object key) → bool
inherited
Returns true if this map contains the given key.
addAll(Map<K,V> other) → void
inherited
Adds all key-value pairs of other to this map.
forEach(void f(K key, V value)) → void
inherited
Applies f to each key-value pair of the map.
putIfAbsent(K key, V ifAbsent()) → V
inherited
Look up the value of key, or add a new value if it isn't there.
