NAME

Hydrogen::Hash - a standard library for hashes

VERSION

This documentation is for Hydrogen::Hash 0.016, which is based on Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Hash 0.037.

FUNCTIONS

Each function expects a hash as its first argument.

The functions use prototypes, so you don't have to pass a reference.

accessor( %hash, $key, $value? )

Additional arguments: Str, Optional[Any].

Acts like get if given one argument, or set if given two arguments.

all( %hash )

Returns the hash in list context.

clear( %hash )

Empties the hash.

count( %hash )

Returns the number of keys in the hash.

defined( %hash, $key )

Additional arguments: Str.

Indicates whether a value exists and is defined in the hashref by its key.

delete( %hash, $key )

Removes a value from the hashref by its key.

delete_where( %hash, $match )

Additional arguments: CodeRef|RegexpRef.

Removes values from the hashref by matching keys against a coderef or regexp.

elements( %hash )

Returns the hash in list context.

exists( %hash, $key )

Additional arguments: Str.

Indicates whether a value exists in the hashref by its key.

for_each_key( %hash, $coderef )

Additional arguments: CodeRef.

Function which calls the coderef for each key in the hash, passing just the key to the coderef.

for_each_pair( %hash, $coderef )

Additional arguments: CodeRef.

Function which calls the coderef for each key in the hash, passing the key and value to the coderef.

for_each_value( %hash, $coderef )

Additional arguments: CodeRef.

Function which calls the coderef for each value in the hash, passing just the value to the coderef.

get( %hash, $key )

Returns a value from the hashref by its key.

is_empty( %hash )

Returns true iff there are no keys in the hash.

keys( %hash )

Returns the list of keys in the hash.

kv( %hash )

Returns a list of arrayrefs, where each arrayref is a key-value pair.

reset( %hash )

Resets the original value to its default value, or an empty hashref if it has no default.

set( %hash, $key, $value, ... )

Given a key and value, adds the key to the hashref with the given value.

shallow_clone( %hash )

Creates a new hashref with the same keys and values as the original.

sorted_keys( %hash )

Returns an alphabetically sorted list of keys in the hash.

values( %hash )

Returns the list of values in the hash.

EXPORT

No functions are exported by this module by default. To import them all (this is usually a bad idea), use:

    use Hydrogen::Hash -all;

To import a particular function, use:

    use Hydrogen::Hash 'clear';

To rename functions:

    use Hydrogen::Hash 'clear' => { -as => 'myfunc' };

On Perl 5.37.2+, you can import lexically:

    use Hydrogen::Hash -lexical, 'clear';

See Exporter::Tiny::Manual::Importing for more hints on importing.
