Dictionary

Description

A class for supporting dictionary objects in scripts that are converted from SBM AppScript to SBM ModScript. A dictionary is a case sensitive key-value container. In general, use ChaiScript's Map instead.

Dictionary can be iterated using ChaiScript's for loop. See example below.

Constructors

Dictionary(): Creates a dictionary object.
Optionally, use CreateObject() with "Scripting,Dictionary".

Operators

Variant& operator[]( key ): Accesses value at location key. Inserts value if not found.

Methods

Variant& at( key ): Accesses value at location key. Throws exception if not found.
uint64_t size(): Returns the count of items in the container.
bool empty(): Returns if the container is empty.
void clear(): Removes all items from the container.
size_t count( key ): Returns 1 if key is found inside the container; otherwise, 0.
void insert( Dictionary_Pair entry ): Inserts entry into the container. Dictionary_Pair is the data type that represents an entry.
void Add( key , value ): Adds an entry to the container. Throws if key is already in the dictionary.

Example

var dict = Dictionary();
dict.Add( "key1", "val1" );
dict.Add( "key2", "val2" );
dict.Add( "key3", 3 );

for ( entry : dict ) {
  Ext.WriteStream( "${entry.first()}: ${entry.second()}\n" );
}
