comparator library

Provides default Comparator constructors, and various static extension methods to modify and perform common operations on Comparator functions.

Mixins

CompareOperators<T>

A generic mixin that provides standard comparison operators like <, <=, >= and > provided the class is Comparable.

MaxComparator on Comparator<T>

MinComparator on Comparator<T>

NullsFirstComparator on Comparator<T>

NullsLastComparator on Comparator<T>

OrderedComparator on Comparator<T>

PredicateComparator on Comparator<T>

Functions

explicitComparator<T>(Iterable<T> iterable) → Comparator<T>

Returns an explicit Comparator based on an iterable of elements.

naturalComparable<T extends Comparable<T>>(T a, T b) → int

Natural static Comparator function using Comparable arguments.

naturalComparator<T>() → Comparator<T>

Returns a natural Comparator for objects of type T.

naturalCompare(Object? a, Object? b) → int

Natural dynamic Comparator function.

reverseComparable<T extends Comparable<T>>(T a, T b) → int

Reversed static Comparator function using Comparable arguments.

reverseComparator<T>() → Comparator<T>

Returns a reversed Comparator for objects of type T.

reverseCompare(Object? a, Object? b) → int

Reversed dynamic Comparator function.
