This library is unstable; compatibility will not be maintained. See Unstable: May Change Without Warning for more information.

This module provides tools for manipulating dictionary values.

(dict-empty? d) → boolean?
  d : dict?
Reports whether d is empty (has no keys).

Examples:

> (dict-empty? '())

#t

> (dict-empty? '([1 . one] [2 . two]))

#f

(dict-union d0 
  d ... 
  [#:combine combine 
  #:combine/key combine/key]) 
 → (and/c dict? dict-can-functional-set?)
  d0 : (and/c dict? dict-can-functional-set?)
  d : dict?
  combine : (-> any/c any/c any/c)
   = (lambda _ (error 'dict-union ...))
  combine/key : (-> any/c any/c any/c any/c)
   = (lambda (k a b) (combine a b))
Computes the union of d0 with each dictionary d by functional update, adding each element of each d to d0 in turn. For each key k and value v, if a mapping from k to some value v0 already exists, it is replaced with a mapping from k to (combine/key k v0 v).

Examples:

> (dict-union '([1 . one]) '([2 . two]) '([3 . three]))

'((1 . one) (2 . two) (3 . three))

> (dict-union '([1    one uno]  [2    two dos])
              '([1    ein une]  [2    zwei deux])
              #:combine/key (lambda (k v1 v2) (append v1 v2)))

'((1 one uno ein une) (2 two dos zwei deux))

(dict-union! d0    
  d ...    
  [#:combine combine    
  #:combine/key combine/key]) → void?
  d0 : (and/c dict? dict-mutable?)
  d : dict?
  combine : (-> any/c any/c any/c)
   = (lambda _ (error 'dict-union! ...))
  combine/key : (-> any/c any/c any/c any/c)
   = (lambda (k a b) (combine a b))
Computes the union of d0 with each dictionary d by mutable update, adding each element of each d to d0 in turn. For each key k and value v, if a mapping from k to some value v0 already exists, it is replaced with a mapping from k to (combine/key k v0 v).

Examples:

(define d (make-hash))
> d

'#hash()

> (dict-union! d '([1    one uno]  [2    two dos]))
> d

'#hash((1 . (one uno)) (2 . (two dos)))

> (dict-union! d
               '([1    ein une]  [2    zwei deux])
               #:combine/key (lambda (k v1 v2) (append v1 v2)))
> d

'#hash((1 . (one uno ein une)) (2 . (two dos zwei deux)))
