Multimap<K, V> class

An associative container that maps a key to multiple values.

Key lookups return mutable collections that are views of the multimap. Updates to the multimap are reflected in these collections and similarly, modifications to the returned collections are reflected in the multimap.

Constructors

Multimap()
Constructs a new list-backed multimap.
factory
Multimap.fromIterable(Iterable iterable, { K key(dynamic element), V value(dynamic element) })
Constructs a new list-backed multimap. For each element e of iterable, adds an association from key to value. key and value each default to the identity function.

Properties

isEmpty → bool
Returns true if there is no key in the multimap.
read-only
isNotEmpty → bool
Returns true if there is at least one key in the multimap.
read-only
keys → Iterable<K>
The keys of this.
read-only
length → int
The number of keys in the multimap.
read-only
values → Iterable<V>
The values of this.
read-only
hashCode → int
The hash code for this object. [...]
read-only, inherited
runtimeType → Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
read-only, inherited

Methods

add(K key, V value) → void
Adds an association from the given key to the given value.
addAll(Multimap<K, V> other) → void
Adds all associations of other to this multimap. [...]
addValues(K key, Iterable<V> values) → void
Adds an association from the given key to each of the given values.
asMap() → Map<K, Iterable<V>>
Returns a view of this multimap as a map.
clear() → void
Removes all data from the multimap.
contains(Object key, Object value) → bool
Returns whether this multimap contains the given association between key and value.
containsKey(Object key) → bool
Returns whether this multimap contains the given key.
containsValue(Object value) → bool
Returns whether this multimap contains the given value.
forEach(void f(K key, V value)) → void
Applies f to each {key, value} pair of the multimap. [...]
forEachKey(void f(K key, Iterable<V> value)) → void
Applies f to each {key, Iterable<value>} pair of the multimap. [...]
remove(Object key, V value) → bool
Removes the association between the given key and value. Returns true if the association existed, false otherwise.
removeAll(Object key) → Iterable<V>
Removes the association for the given key. Returns the collection of removed values, or an empty iterable if key was unmapped.
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed. [...]
inherited
toString() → String
Returns a string representation of this object.
inherited

Operators

operator [](Object key) → Iterable<V>
Returns the values for the given key. An empty iterable is returned if key is not mapped. The returned collection is a view on the multimap. Updates to the collection modify the multimap and likewise, modifications to the multimap are reflected in the returned collection.
operator ==(dynamic other) → bool
The equality operator. [...]
