Constructor & Destructor Documentation

StringPairArray() [1/2]

StringPairArray::StringPairArray

(

bool

ignoreCaseWhenComparingKeys = true

)

Creates an empty array.

StringPairArray() [2/2]

StringPairArray::StringPairArray

(

const StringPairArray &

other

)

Creates a copy of another array.

~StringPairArray()

StringPairArray::~StringPairArray

(

)

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

operator=()

StringPairArray& StringPairArray::operator=

(

const StringPairArray &

other

)

Copies the contents of another string array into this one.

operator==()

bool StringPairArray::operator==

(

const StringPairArray &

other

)

const

Compares two arrays.

Comparisons are case-sensitive.

Returns

true only if the other array contains exactly the same strings with the same keys

operator!=()

bool StringPairArray::operator!=

(

const StringPairArray &

other

)

const

Compares two arrays.

Comparisons are case-sensitive.

Returns

false if the other array contains exactly the same strings with the same keys

operator[]()

const String& StringPairArray::operator[]

(

StringRef

key

)

const

Finds the value corresponding to a key string.

If no such key is found, this will just return an empty string. To check whether a given key actually exists (because it might actually be paired with an empty string), use the getAllKeys() method to obtain a list.

Obviously the reference returned shouldn't be stored for later use, as the string it refers to may disappear when the array changes.

See also

getValue

getValue()

String StringPairArray::getValue	(	StringRef	,
		const String &	defaultReturnValue
	)		const

Finds the value corresponding to a key string.

If no such key is found, this will just return the value provided as a default.

See also

operator[]

containsKey()

bool StringPairArray::containsKey ( StringRef  key ) const

noexcept

Returns true if the given key exists.

getAllKeys()

const StringArray& StringPairArray::getAllKeys ( ) const

noexcept

Returns a list of all keys in the array.

getAllValues()

const StringArray& StringPairArray::getAllValues ( ) const

noexcept

Returns a list of all values in the array.

size()

int StringPairArray::size ( ) const

noexcept

Returns the number of strings in the array.

References BlocksProtocol::key.

set()

void StringPairArray::set	(	const String &	key,
		const String &	value
	)

Adds or amends a key/value pair.

If a value already exists with this key, its value will be overwritten, otherwise the key/value pair will be added to the array.

addArray()

void StringPairArray::addArray

(

const StringPairArray &

other

)

Adds the items from another array to this one.

This is equivalent to using set() to add each of the pairs from the other array.

clear()

void StringPairArray::clear

(

)

Removes all elements from the array.

remove() [1/2]

void StringPairArray::remove

(

StringRef

key

)

Removes a string from the array based on its key.

If the key isn't found, nothing will happen.

remove() [2/2]

void StringPairArray::remove

(

int

index

)

Removes a string from the array based on its index.

If the index is out-of-range, no action will be taken.

setIgnoresCase()

void StringPairArray::setIgnoresCase

(

bool

shouldIgnoreCase

)

Indicates whether to use a case-insensitive search when looking up a key string.

getDescription()

String StringPairArray::getDescription

(

)

const

Returns a descriptive string containing the items.

This is handy for dumping the contents of an array.

minimiseStorageOverheads()

void StringPairArray::minimiseStorageOverheads

(

)

Reduces the amount of storage being used by the array.

Arrays typically allocate slightly more storage than they need, and after removing elements, they may have quite a lot of unused space allocated. This method will reduce the amount of allocated storage to a minimum.
