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.

CompoundIterableComparator on Iterable<Comparator<T>>

LargestComparator on Comparator<T>

LexicographicalComparator on Comparator<T>

MinMaxComparator on Comparator<T>

NullsFirstComparator on Comparator<T>

NullsLastComparator on Comparator<T>

OrderedComparator on Comparator<T>

PredicateComparator on Comparator<T>

ResultOfComparator on Comparator<R>

ReversedComparator on Comparator<T>

SearchComparator on Comparator<T>

SmallestComparator 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.

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.

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

Reversed dynamic Comparator function.
