Extended capabilities for collections. It's a bunch of shortcuts to avoid unnecesary boilerplate work with collections.

Getting Started

This package will help you to reduce the amount of boilerplate code by adding folowing extensions for Iterables:

• getter firstOrNull and method firstOrNullWhere for getting first value, and if it will not be found returns null

• getter lastOrNull and method lastOrNullWhere for getting last value, and if it will not be found returns null

• getter singleOrNull and method singleOrNullWhere for getting single value, and if it will not be found returns null, and if there will be too many elements it'll throw the StateError

• method mapList, which maps collection and casts it to List

• method whereList, which filters collection and casts it to List

• method mapWhereList, which maps collection, then filters it and then casts it to List

• method whereMapList, which filters collection, then maps collection and then casts it to List

• getter notNull for getting only not null values from the collection

• getter min/minOrNull and max/maxOrNull for getting minimal or maximal value from collection of Comparables

• method minWhere/minOrNullWhere and maxWhere/maxOrNullWhere for getting minimal or maximal value from filtered collection of Comparables

• getter sum and average for getting sum and average from collection of nums

• method sumWhere and averageWhere for getting sum and average from filtered collection of nums

• getter distinct and method distinctWhere which will return List with unique values in collection

• method union and unionWhere which will return List with union of two collections with only unique values in resulting collection

• method intersection and intersectionWhere which will return List with elements that contains both collections with only unique values in resulting collection

• method difference and differenceWhere which will return List with difference between two collections with only unique values in resulting collection

Examples

Iterable extension can be used like this:

Common

• firstOrNull and firstOrNullWhere

final firstOrNull = [].firstOrNull; // null
// or
final firstOrNull = [3, 6, 2, 7, 9].firstOrNullWhere((item) => item > 10); // null

• lastOrNull and lastOrNullWhere

final lastOrNull = [].lastOrNull; // null
// or
final lastOrNull = [3, 6, 2, 7, 9].lastOrNullWhere((item) => item > 10); // null

• singleOrNull and singleOrNullWhere

final singleOrNull = [].singleOrNull; // null
// or
final singleOrNull = [3, 6, 2, 7, 9].singleOrNullWhere((item) => item > 3); // null

• mapList

List<double> mappedList = [3, 6, 2, 7, 9].mapList((item) => item.toDouble());

• whereList

List<int> filteredList = [3, 6, 2, 7, 9].whereList((item) => item > 4);

• whereMapList

List<double> filteredMappedList = [3, 6, 2, 7, 9].whereMapList((item) => item > 4, (item) => item.toDouble());

• mapWhereList

List<double> mappedFilteredList = [3, 6, 2, 7, 9].mapWhereList((item) => item.toDouble(), (item) => item > 4);

• notNull

Iterable<int> notNullIterable = [3, 6, 2, null, 7, 9].notNull;

Comparable

• min and minOrNull

final min = [3, 6, 2, 7, 9].min; // 2
// or
final min = [].minOrNull; // null

• minWhere and minOrNullWhere

final min = [3, 6, 2, 7, 9].minWhere((_) => _ > 4); // 6
// or
final min = [3, 2].minOrNullWhere((_) => _ > 4); // null

• max and maxOrNull

final max = [3, 6, 2, 7, 9].max; // 9
// or
final max = [].maxOrNull; // null

• maxWhere and maxOrNullWhere

final max = [3, 6, 2, 7, 9].maxWhere((_) => _ < 4); // 3
// or
final max = [3, 2].maxOrNullWhere((_) => _ > 4); // null

• group

final collection = [
    Pet("rat", "Mike"),
    Pet("dog", "Rex"),
    Pet("cat", "Lucy"),
];

/*
<bool, List<Pet>>{
    true: [
        Pet("rat", "Mike"),
        Pet("cat", "Lucy"),
    ],
    false: [
        Pet("dog", "Rex"),
    ],
}
*/
final group = collection.group((item) => item.name.endsWith('at'));

• groupMap

final collection = [
    Pet("rat", "Mike"),
    Pet("dog", "Rex"),
    Pet("cat", "Lucy"),
];

/*
<bool, int>{
    true: 2,
    false: 1,
}
*/
final groupMapped = collection.groupMap(
      (item) => item.name.endsWith('at'), (group) => group.length);

Math

• sum

final sum = [3, 6, 2, 7, 9].sum; // 27

• average

final average = [1, 3, 5, 7, 4, 4].average; // 4

• sumWhere

final sum = [3, 6, 2, 7, 9].sumWhere((_) => _ > 4); // 22

• averageWhere

final average = [1, 3, 5, 7, 4, 4].averageWhere((_) => _ > 4); // 6

Set

• distinct

final collectionOne = [2, 5, 8, 2];

final distinctCollection = collectionOne.distinct; // [2, 5, 8]

• distinctWhere

final collectionOne = [2, 5, 8, 2];

final distinctCollection = collectionOne.distinctWhere((_) => _ > 4); // [5, 8]

• union

final collectionOne = [2, 5, 8, 2];
final collectionTwo = [1, 3, 5, 7];

final unitedCollection = collectionOne.union(collectionTwo); // [2, 5, 8, 1, 3, 7]

• unionWhere

final collectionOne = [2, 5, 8, 2];
final collectionTwo = [1, 3, 5, 7];

final unitedCollection = collectionOne.unionWhere(collectionTwo, (_) => _ > 4); // [5, 8, 7]

• intersection

final collectionOne = [2, 5, 8, 2];
final collectionTwo = [1, 3, 5, 7];

final intersectedCollection = collectionOne.intersection(collectionTwo); // [5]

• intersectionWhere

final collectionOne = [2, 5, 8, 2];
final collectionTwo = [1, 3, 5, 7];

final intersectedCollection = collectionOne.intersectionWhere(collectionTwo, (_) => _ < 4); // []

• difference

final collectionOne = [2, 5, 8, 2];
final collectionTwo = [1, 3, 5, 7];

final differedCollection = collectionOne.difference(collectionTwo); // [2, 8]
// or
final differedCollection = collectionTwo.difference(collectionOne); // [1, 3, 7]

• differenceWhere

final collectionOne = [2, 5, 8, 2];
final collectionTwo = [1, 3, 5, 7];

final differedCollection = collectionOne.differenceWhere(collectionTwo, (_) => _ < 4); // [2]
// or
final differedCollection = collectionTwo.differenceWhere(collectionOne, (_) => _ < 4); // [1, 3]
