I have an array like:-
var arrayData : Array<Dictionary<String, [BottleModel]>> = []
Bottle model :-
class BottleModel: NSObject {
var name : String
var price : Int
var reviews : Int
var category : String
var quantity : String
var id : String
var shopData : ShopModel
}
I want filtered array where price is > 2000
I tried let searchByInts = arrayData.filter({m in m.price < 200})
but getting below error:
Contextual closure
type '(Dictionary) -> Bool' expects 1 argument,
but 0 were used in closure body
How to filter such kind of array based on price
Working code:
let searchByInts = arrayData.filter { $0.values.contains { $0.contains { $0.price > 2000 } } }
By the way please write the following using literals:
var arrayData : [[String : [BottleModel]]] = []
Still no idea if that is what you actually want because your goal is very unclear. You have an array of dictionaries of arrays which actually contain the values you want to filter out. If a BottleModel costs more than 2000 do you want to keep the entire array it is contained in and the dictionary that array is in? You might want to map the entire data into one flat array before or after filtering.
Alternative using flatMap:
let flat = arrayData.flatMap { $0.values.flatMap { $0 } }
let searchByInts2 = flat.filter { $0.price < 200 } // or some other criteria

How can I run through three separate arrays in the same for loop?

Closed 4 years ago.
I would like to end up with an array of custom objects. I'm having trouble figuring out a way to go about this when I have multiple arrays to iterate through in order to create the custom objects. I have something like this:
class CustomObject {
var name = ""
var place = ""
var price = ""
}
var nameArray = [“name1”,"name2","name3"]
var placeArray = [“place1”,"place2","place3"]
var priceArray [“price1”,"price2","price3"]
var customArray [CustomObject]()
createObject(name : nameArray, place : placeArray, price : priceArray)
func createObject(name : [String], place : [String], price : [String]) {
let instance = CustomObject()
for names in name {
instance.name = names
}
for places in place {
instance.place = places
}
for prices in price {
instance.price = prices
customArray.append(instance)
}
}
I would like to end up with an array of those custom "instances". Right now my code is giving each attribute the last index of each array.
You can try , also i suppose all the arrays have the same count
var customArray = [CustomObject]()
for i in 0..<nameArray.count {
let instance = CustomObject()
instance.name = nameArray[i]
instance.place = placeArray[i]
instance.price = priceArray[i]
customArray.append(instance)
}
I have an array which gets instantiated in viewDidLoad like var bookingsArray : [[String]] = []
I am adding elements to it in this way:
var configuration: [String] = []
configuration.append(textfieldFacility.text!)
configuration.append((pickSlotTF.text?.components(separatedBy: " ")[0])!)
configuration.append((pickSlotTF.text?.components(separatedBy: " ")[1])!)
bookingsArray.append(configuration as [String])
bookingsArray looks like :
[["A", "20-08-2017", "14:00"], ["B", "20-08-2017", "14:00"]]
While adding new elements to bookingsArray, I want to check if the new element is already present in the array. How do I do it in this case of multi-dimensional array?
First of all, if you want unique objects use a Set.
If this is not possible I highly recommend to use a custom struct which can conform to Equatable rather than a nested array , for example
struct Booking : Equatable {
let facilty : String
let date : String
let time : String
static func ==(lhs : Booking, rhs : Booking) -> Bool {
return lhs.facilty == rhs.facilty && lhs.date == rhs.date && lhs.time == rhs.time
}
}
Then declare the array as
var bookingsArray = [Booking]()
and create an object with
let dateArray = pickSlotTF.text!.components(separatedBy: " ")
let configuration = Booking(facility: textfieldFacility.text!,
date: dateArray[0],
time = dateArray[1])
bookingsArray.append(configuration)
The huge benefit is that you can easily check
if bookingsArray.contains(item)
You can simply search for it with contains().
var configuration: [String] = []
configuration.append(textfieldFacility.text!)
configuration.append((pickSlotTF.text?.components(separatedBy: " ")[0])!)
configuration.append((pickSlotTF.text?.components(separatedBy: " ")[1])!)
if !bookingsArray.contains(where: {$0 == configuration}) {
bookingsArray.append(configuration)
}
I'm new in swift and I'd know how to do that in php, but I'm lost with all those dictionaries and I have no idea how to do that in swift 2. I've been googling for a while and didn't found what I need.
I'm parsing a jSon and storing it's values in an NSMutableDictionary in a loop and at the end of the loop I store the NSMutableDictionary in an NSMutableArray, so at the end I have an NSMutableArray with 43 elements, and each element have about 10 keys with their values. I need to sort those 43 elements from their "distance" key and sort them descending. I don't know if that is posible with this current approach. The value of the key "distance" is an int number (meters). I don't know if to use an NSMutableDictionary inside an NSMutable Array is the correct approach to do this but I'm using it because it is possible to have string keys, and not numbers indexes, so for me it's easier to access the key "distance" than the index 8...
First I load the jSon content:
private func parseJson(json : NSMutableArray, tableView : UITableView){
var c : Int = 0
for j in json {
var jsonValues = NSMutableDictionary()
//Create main value
guard let value = j.valueForKey("value")?.valueForKey("value")! else{
continue
}
//Get name
guard let Name : String = (value.valueForKey("Name")?.valueForKey("en") as? String) else {
continue
}
jsonValues["name"] = Name
//more code like this....
TableData.append(Name)
nsDict.insertObject(jsonValues, atIndex: c)
c += 1
}
this is my NSMutableArray content after being loaded:
And this is the code I have this far. Im trying to load the sorted content in a new array, but in this new array some keys are missing.
//Reorder Array by shop distance from user...
var sortDescriptor:NSSortDescriptor = NSSortDescriptor(key: "distance", ascending: true)
var sortedArray : NSArray = nsDict.sortedArrayUsingDescriptors([sortDescriptor])//Crashes
print(sortedArray)
I've managed to sort the array with this technique:
created a new class with for my array
import Foundation
class JsonArrayValues {
init(){
}
var name = String()
var distance = Float()
var lat = Float()
var lng = Float()
var openingTime = String()
var country = String()
var code = String()
var address = String()
var categories = String()
var city = String()
var type = String()
var brands = String()
}
I instantiated one before the loop:
var jsonArrData : [JsonArrayValues] = []
And another one inside the loop, in which I've added the values:
var c : Int = 0
for j in json {
var jsonValues : JsonArrayValues = JsonArrayValues()
//Get name
guard let Name : String = (value.valueForKey("Name")?.valueForKey("en") as? String) else {
continue
}
jsonValues.name = Name
//more code...
jsonArrData.append(jsonValues)
c += 1
}
And finally I've been able to call the function to reorder the array:
//Reorder Array by shop distance from user...
jsonArrData.sortInPlace({$0.distance < $1.distance})
One of your first steps in any non-trivial project really should be to spend some time looking around on github for tools that simplify your problem. In this case, you'd find there are so very many tools to simplify working with JSON in Swift. I'd suggest you look at EVReflection and Gloss particularly, although there are also many people who use SwiftyJSON.
You don't mention how you're accessing the network; you could look at AFNetworking or Alamofire. The latter also has AlamofireJsonToObjects to help.
I also found JSONExport to be incredibly useful.
You'd be spending a lot less time futzing with details as in this unfortunate question and more getting on with your larger goal.
I am trying to use a list that is a value for a dictionary key/pair set, and this dictionary is itself a value in a key/pair set in a dictionary. To explain, this is how I initialize it.
var dictOfEvents = [Int: [Int: [PFObject]]]()
I am trying to add events to the list, with the inner dictionary's key being the day of month and the outer one being the month. For example, an event on May 1 would be:
dictOfEvents[5:[1:[ListOfEvents]]
Where ListOfEvents is an array of PFObjects. Before I added the month functionality, and thus the outer dictionary, the way I added new events was:
` self.dictOfEvents[components.day] = [event]
But now, when I try to extend this with:
self.dictOfEvents[components.month]?[components.day]! = [event]
It does not work. Any explanation on how to create new event lists and access this double layer dictionary would be greatly appreciated.
(Note: I don't know where to put the ! and the ? in the last piece of code so please excuse me if I made a mistake.)
Here is what I think could be a good use of optionals in your case (and should respond to your question):
var dic: [Int: [Int: [String]]] = [:]
dic[5] = [1:["Hello", "World"]]
if let list = dic[5]?[1] {
// your list exist and you can safely use it
for item in list {
println(item)
}
}
I just used String instead of PFObject.
A different approach could be:
/*
Define a struct to encapsulate your Month and Day
Make it Hashable so that you can use it as Dictionary key
*/
public struct MonthDay: Hashable {
let month: Int
let day: Int
public var hashValue: Int { return month * 100 + day }
}
public func ==(lhs: MonthDay, rhs: MonthDay) -> Bool {
return lhs.month == rhs.month && lhs.day == rhs.day
}
var dictOfEvents = [MonthDay :[String]]()
let aMonthAndDay = MonthDay(month: 5, day: 1)
dictOfEvents[aMonthAndDay] = ["Hello", "World"]
if let list = dictOfEvents[aMonthAndDay] {
// your list exist and you can safely use it
for item in list {
println(item)
}
}
U can simple change:
self.dictOfEvents[components.month]?[components.day]! = [event]
to :
self.dictOfEvents[components.month]![components.day]! = [event]
Because Dictionary has subscript, Dictionary? doesn't have subscript.
if U try add Events to Dictionary. I suggest to use this:
var dictOfEvents = [Int: [Int: [PFObject]]]()
var dictOfDayEvents = [Int:[PFObject]]()
dictOfDayEvents.updateValue([PFObject()], forKey: 1)
dictOfEvents.updateValue(dictOfDayEvents, forKey: 5)
var sourceEntries: [Entry] = [entry1, ..., entry14]
var myDict: Dictionary<String, [Entry]> = [:]
for entry in sourceEntries {
if var array = myDict[entry.attribute1] { theArray.append(entry) }
else { myDict[entry.attribute1] = [entry] }
}
I am intending to create a Dictionary, which matches all the objects of the struct "Eintrag" with the same attribute from the source-Array "alleEinträge" to a String containing the value of the shared attribute. For some reason my final Dictionary just matches Arrays of one element to the Strings, although some Arrays ought to contain up to four elements.
The problem is that the array is passed by value (i.e. "copied"), so the array you are writing to when you say array.append is not the array that is "inside" the dictionary. You have to write back into the dictionary explicitly if you want to change what's in it.
Try it in a simple situation:
var dict = ["entry":[0,1,2]]
// your code
if var array = dict["entry"] { array.append(4) }
// so what happened?
println(dict) // [entry: [0, 1, 2]]
As you can see, the "4" never got into the dictionary.
You have to write back into the dictionary explicitly:
if var array = dict["entry"] { array.append(4); dict["entry"] = array }
FURTHER THOUGHTS: You got me thinking about whether there might be a more elegant way to do what you're trying to do. I'm not sure whether you will think this is "more elegant", but perhaps it has some appeal.
I will start by setting up a struct (like your Entry) with a name attribute:
struct Thing : Printable {
var name : String
var age : Int
var description : String {
return "{\(self.name), \(self.age)}"
}
}
Now I will create an array like your sourceEntries array, where some of the structs share the same name (like your shared attribute attribute1):
let t1 = Thing(name: "Jack", age: 40)
let t2 = Thing(name: "Jill", age: 38)
let t3 = Thing(name: "Jill", age: 37)
let arr = [t1,t2,t3]
And of course I will prepare the empty dictionary, like your myDict, which I call d:
var d = [String : [Thing]]()
Now I will create the dictionary! The idea is to use map and filter together to do all the work of creating key-value pairs, and then we just build the dictionary from those pairs:
let pairs : [(String, [Thing])] = arr.map {
t in (t.name, arr.filter{$0.name == t.name})
}
for pair in pairs { d[pair.0] = pair.1 }
