ISet<T> class abstract

An immutable, ordered set. It can be configured to order by insertion order, or sort.

You can access its items by index, as efficiently as with a List, by calling ISet.elementAt(index) or by using the [] operator.

Constructors

ISet([Iterable<T>? iterable])
Create an ISet from an iterable, with the default configuration. Fast, if the iterable is another ISet.
factory
ISet.empty()
Create an empty ISet. Use it with const: const ISet.empty() (It's always an ISetEmpty).
const
factory
ISet.fromJson(dynamic json, T fromJsonT(Object?))
Converts from JSon. Json serialization support for json_serializable with @JsonSerializable.
factory
ISet.unsafe(Set<T> set, {required ConfigSet config})
Unsafe constructor. Use this at your own peril.
factory
ISet.withConfig(Iterable<T>? iterable, ConfigSet config)
Create an ISet from any Iterable and a ConfigSet. Fast, if the Iterable is another ISet. If iterable is null, return an empty ISet.

Properties

anyItem → T
Returns any item from the set. This is useful if you need to read some property that you know all items in the set have.
no setter
config ConfigSet
The set configuration.
no setter
first → T
  • If the set's config has ConfigSet.sort true, will return the first element in the natural order of items. Note: This is not a fast operation, as ISets are not naturally sorted.
  • If the set's config has ConfigSet.sort false (the default), or if the items are not Comparable, the first item by insertion will be returned.
  • no setteroverride
    firstOrNull → T?
    Returns the first element, or null if the set is empty.
    no setter
    flush ISet<T>
    Flushes the set, if necessary. Chainable method. If the set is already flushed, don't do anything.
    no setteroverride
    hashCode int
    The hash code for this object.
    no setteroverride
    isDeepEquals bool
    See also: ConfigList
    no setter
    isEmpty bool
    Returns true if there are no elements in this collection.
    no setteroverride
    isFlushed bool
    Whether this set is already flushed or not.
    no setteroverride
    isIdentityEquals bool
    See also: ConfigList
    no setter
    isNotEmpty bool
    Returns true if there is at least one element in this collection.
    no setteroverride
    iterator Iterator<T>
  • If the set's config has ConfigSet.sort true, it will iterate in the natural order of items. In other words, if the items are Comparable, they will be sorted by a.compareTo(b).
  • If the set's config has ConfigSet.sort false (the default), or if the items are not Comparable, the iterator order is the insertion order.
  • no setteroverride
    last → T
  • If the set's config has ConfigSet.sort true, will return the last element in the natural order of items. Note: This is not a fast operation, as ISets are not naturally sorted.
  • If the set's config has ConfigSet.sort false (the default), or if the items are not Comparable, the last item by insertion will be returned.
  • no setteroverride
    lastOrNull → T?
    Returns the last element, or null if the set is empty.
    no setter
    length int
    The number of objects in this set.
    no setteroverride
    runtimeType Type
    A representation of the runtime type of the object.
    no setterinherited
    single → T
    Checks that this iterable has only one element, and returns that element. Throws a StateError if the set is empty or has more than one element.
    no setteroverride
    singleOrNull → T?
    Checks that the set has only one element, and returns that element. Return null if the set is empty or has more than one element.
    no setter
    unlock Set<T>
    Unlocks the set, returning a regular (mutable, ordered) Set of type LinkedHashSet. This set is "safe", in the sense that is independent from the original ISet.
    no setter
    unlockLazy Set<T>
    Unlocks the set, returning a safe, modifiable (mutable) Set. Using this is very fast at first, since it makes no copies of the ISet items. However, if and only if you use a method that mutates the set, like add, it will unlock internally (make a copy of all ISet items). This is transparent to you, and will happen at most only once. In other words, it will unlock the ISet, lazily, only if necessary. If you never mutate the set, it will be very fast to lock this set back into an ISet.
    no setter
    unlockView Set<T>
    Unlocks the set, returning a safe, unmodifiable (immutable) Set view. The word "view" means the set is backed by the original ISet. Using this is very fast, since it makes no copies of the ISet items. However, if you try to use methods that modify the set, like add, it will throw an UnsupportedError. It is also very fast to lock this set back into an ISet.
    no setter
    withDeepEquals ISet<T>
    Creates a set with deepEquals (compares all set items by equality).
    no setter
    withIdentityEquals ISet<T>
    Creates a set with identityEquals (compares the internals by identity).
    no setter

    Returns the concatenation of this set and other. Returns a new set containing the elements of this set followed by the elements of other.
    operator ==(Object other) bool

  • If isDeepEquals configuration is false: Will return true only if the sets internals are the same instances (comparing by identity). This will be fast even for very large sets, since it doesn't compare each item.

  • override
    operator [](int index) → T
    Returns the indexth element.
