df_collection 0.10.0

A package designed to extend Dart collections by offering additional functionality.

Changelog

0.10.0

• breaking: mergeDataDeep now deep-copies all mutable substructure into its result — mutating the merged result no longer mutates the input data. Same guarantee for mergeListsSetsOrQueues and mergeIterables. Prior versions silently shared Map/List/Set/Queue references between the result and the inputs, which was a data-integrity hazard.
• breaking: JsonUtility.flattenJson now throws StateError when (a) any key contains the separator (would produce an ambiguous flat path) or (b) two distinct source paths would flatten to the same flat key (silent overwrite of data). Previously the colliding entry was silently dropped.
• breaking: JsonUtility.mapToJson now rejects NaN and ±Infinity doubles with UnsupportedError — not representable in standard JSON, previously slipped through only to break jsonEncode downstream.
• breaking: setNestedValue on a non-Map intermediate now throws StateError instead of silently overwriting the existing value. Pass overwriteIntermediates: true to opt into the old behaviour. An empty keyPath is now a safe no-op instead of throwing.
• breaking: tryToJson / tryToMap now only swallow NoSuchMethodError (the "no such member" case). Exceptions thrown by a present toJson / toMap propagate.
• breaking: tryReduce / tryMerge now only convert the "empty iterable" case into null. Exceptions from the user's combine/merge function propagate (previously Error subclasses including StackOverflowError were silently swallowed).
• breaking: combinedOrderedStringId now throws ArgumentError when an ID is empty, contains the separator (would otherwise yield silent ID collisions), or when an empty separator is passed. New optional separator parameter (default _).
• breaking: deepGetFromSegments refuses to index into non-List iterables (notably Set) — element order is implementation-defined there. Also refuses fractional indices (e.g. "3.5") instead of silently truncating.
• breaking: chunked throws ArgumentError for non-positive chunkSize instead of silently yielding a single chunk.
• fix: CsvUtility.csvToMap is now an RFC 4180 parser: handles CRLF / bare-CR line terminators, newlines inside quoted fields, escaped quotes, and preserves significant leading/trailing whitespace. Blank lines no longer renumber subsequent rows.
• fix: CsvUtility.mapToCsv now quotes fields containing \r per RFC 4180.
• fix: deepGetFromSegments now returns the resolved value instead of always null.
• fix: takeLast(count) no longer throws when count exceeds the iterable's length; returns the full iterable.
• fix: traverseMap write returns the written value, and no longer throws when the intermediate path crosses a non-map node.
• fix: mergeIterables no longer throws a TypeError when one argument is a scalar and the other is a typed iterable.
• fix: JsonUtility.mapToJson now accepts null values (was throwing UnsupportedError).
• fix: JsonUtility.flattenJson no longer silently drops keys whose values are empty maps or lists.
• fix: mergeListsSetsOrQueues now applies elseFilter to the b-side in the Set branch (was previously skipped).
• MaybeAddToIterableExt.maybeAdd return type tightened from Iterable<T>? to Iterable<T>.
