Loopinator
Array looping functions for Solidity.
Current Implementation
uint256[].map
The map function takes a uint256[] memory and a function that takes a uint256 and returns a
uint256.
This will loop over the array, applying the function to each element, and returning the new array.
Usage:
// import
import { map } from "./Loopinator.sol";
// apply to use `array.map` syntax
using { map } for uint256[]
// define function for each iteration
function double(uint256 a) pure returns (uint256) {
return a * 2;
}
contract MyContract {
function doubleTheNumbers(uint256[] memory numbers) public pure returns (uint256[] memory) {
return numbers.map(double);
}
}uint256[].forEach
The forEach function takes a uint256[] memory and a function that takes a uint256.
This will loop over the array, executing the function on each element.
Usage:
// import
import { forEach } from "./Loopinator.sol";
// apply to use `array.forEach` syntax
using { forEach } for uint256[]
// define function for each iteration
function notZero(uint256 a) pure returns (uint256) {
require(a != 0, "number is invalid");
}
contract MyContract {
function allMustBeNonZero(uint256[] memory numbers) public pure {
numbers.forEach(notZero);
}
}uint256[].reduce
The reduce function takes uint256[] memory, a function that takes two uint256 values (the
reduced value and the current value, respectively) and returns a uint256 representing the new
reduced value, and an initial value.
This will loop over the array, executing the function on the reduced value and each element, and finally returning the reduced value.
Usage:
// import
import { reduce } from "./Loopinator.sol";
// apply to use `array.reduce` syntax
using { reduce } for uint256[]
// define function for each iteration
function sum(uint256 lastValue, uint256 element) internal pure returns (uint256) {
return lastValue + element;
}
contract MyContract {
function sumTheNumbers(uint256[] memory numbers) public pure returns (uint256) {
uint256 initialValue;
return numbers.reduce(sum, initialValue);
}
}
