Array Examples

Just some examples, check the .h or the tests to see them all In the .h there is the explanation of what it really does

    NSArray* array = @[@1,@3,@4,@5,@6];
    NSNumber* first = [array first:^BOOL(NSNumber* object) {
        return object.intValue > 4;
    }];
    NSLog(@"Fist: %@",first);

    NSNumber* second = [array first:^BOOL(NSNumber* object) {
        return object.intValue > 10;
    } default:@25];
    NSLog(@"second: %@",second);

    NSArray* oldHeroes = [self.heroes reject:^BOOL(Hero *object) {
        return object.age.intValue < 20;
    }];
    [self printHeroArray:oldHeroes];

    [self printHeroArray:[self.heroes map:^id(Hero* obj, NSUInteger idx) {
        obj.age = @(obj.age.intValue * 2);
        return obj;
    }]];
    [self printArray:[self.heroes pluck:@"enemy"]];

    NSNumber* totalAge = [self.heroes reduce:^id(NSNumber* carry, Hero* object) {
        return @(object.age.intValue + carry.intValue);
    } carry:@(0)];

    or

    NSNumber* totalAge2 = [self.heroes sum:@"age"];

    NSNumber* age = [self.heroes sum:@"age"];
    NSLog(@"Age again: %@",age);

    NSNumber* older = [self.heroes max:@"age"];
    NSLog(@"older: %@",older);

    NSNumber* younger = [self.heroes min:@"age"];
    NSLog(@"younger: %@",younger);

    NSNumber* average = [self.heroes avg:@"age"];
    NSLog(@"average: %@",average);

    [self printArray:[@[@1,@2,@3,@4] union:@[@4,@5,@6]]];
    [self printArray:[@[@1,@2,@3,@4] intersect:@[@4,@5,@6]]];
    [self printArray:[@[@1,@2,@3,@4] join:@[@4,@5,@6]]];
    [self printArray:[@[@1,@2,@3,@4] diff:@[@4,@5,@6]]];

    [self.heroes groupBy:@"age"];

    [self.heroes groupBy:@"age" block:^NSString *(Hero* object, NSString *key) {
        return str(@"age %@", object.age);
    }];

    NSArray* names = @["Spiderman", @"Batman", @"Robin", @"Luxor"];
    BOOL containsSpiderman = [self.names contains:^BOOL(Hero* hero) {
        return [hero.name isEqualToString:@"Spiderman"];
    }];
    
    BOOL heroes = [self.names where:@"name" like:@"man"];
    //HEroes => [@"Spidrman, @"Batman"]
    

    [@[@1,@2,@3,@4,@5,@6] slice:3];
    [@[@1,@2,@3,@4,@5,@6] slice:10];
    [@[@1,@2,@3,@4,@5,@6] slice:6];
    [@[@1,@2,@3,@4,@5,@6] take:2];
    [@[@1,@2,@3,@4,@5,@6] take:10];
    [@[@1,@2,@3,@4,@5,@6] take:-2];
    [@[@1,@2,@3,@4,@5,@6] take:-10];

    NSArray* array2 = @[@1,@2,@3,@4,@5].mutableCopy;
    NSArray* chunk = [array2 splice:2];
    [self printArray:chunk];
    [self printArray:array2];

Dictionary Examples

Just some examples, check the .h or the tests to see them all

    NSDictionary* filtered = [@{@"pass":@0, @"dontPass":@1} filter:^BOOL(id key, id object) {
        return object.floatValue == 0;
    }];

    NSDictionary* result = [@{@"toBeMapped":@"value", @"toBeMapped2":@"value2"} map:^id(id key, id object) {
        return [key append:object];
    }];

String Examples

Just some examples, check the .h or the tests to see them all

// [NSString stringWithFormat:@"a formated %@ string", value]; 
// becomes
str(@"a formated %@ string", value);

    NSArray* result         = [@"hola;que;tal" explode:@";"];
    NSArray* expectation    = @[@"hola",@"que",@"tal"];
    XCTAssertTrue([result isEqual:expectation]);

    NSString* result = [@"   trim   " trim];
    XCTAssertTrue( [result isEqualToString:@"trim"]);

    NSString* result = @"this should be camelcased".camelCase;
    XCTAssertTrue( [result isEqualToString:@"thisShouldBeCamelcased"]);
