PrefixMap

PrefixMap is a prefix-enhanced map that eases the retrieval of values based on key prefixes.

Quick Start

Creating a PrefixMap

// creates the map object
prefixMap := prefixmap.New()

Inserting a value

 // inserts values 1, "value 2" and false for key 'someKey'
prefixMap.Insert("someKey", 1, "value 2", false)

// map now contains
//
// 'someKey' => [1, "value 2", false]

Replace values for key

prefixMap.Insert("key", "hello")

// map contents:
//
// 'key' => ["hello"]

prefixMap.Insert("key", "world")

// map contents:
//
// 'key' => ["hello", "world"]

// now replacing the contents for key
prefixMap.Replace("key", "new value")

// map contents:
//
// 'key' => ["new value"]

Checking if a key exists

prefixMap.Insert("key", "hello")

prefixMap.Contains("k") // #=> false
prefixMap.Contains("key") // #=> true
prefixMap.ContainsPrefix("k") // #=> true

Getting by key

prefixMap.Insert("foo", "bar", "baz", "quz")

data := prefixMap.Get("foo") // #=> [bar, baz, quz]

Getting by keys prefix

prefixMap.Insert("prefix1", "prefix1")
prefixMap.Insert("prefix2", "prefix2")
prefixMap.Insert("prefix3", "prefix3")

data := prefixMap.GetByPrefix("prefix") // #=> [prefix1, prefix2, prefix3]

Iterate over prefixes

PrefixMap exposes an EachPrefix method that executes a callback function against every prefix in the map. The prefixes are iterated over using a Depth First Search algorithm. At each iteration the given callback is invoked. The callback allows you to skip a branch iteration altogether if you're not satisfied with what you're looking for. Check out PrefixCallback documentation for more information.

prefixMap.EachPrefix(func(prefix Prefix) (bool, bool) {
    
    // do something with the current prefix
    doSomething(prefix.Key)
    
    // keep iterating
    return false, false
})
