export.isPositiveInteger

function export.isPositiveInteger(v)

Return true if the given value is a positive integer, and false if not. Although it doesn't operate on tables, it is included here as it is useful for determining whether a given table key is in the array part or the hash part of a table.

export.shallowcopy

function export.shallowcopy(orig)

Return a clone of an object. If the object is a table, the value returned is a new table, but all subtables and functions are shared. Metamethods are respected, but the returned table will have no metatable of its own.

export.deepcopy

function export.deepcopy(orig, metatableFlag, keepLoadedData)

Recursive deep copy function. Preserves copied identities of subtables. A more powerful version of mw.clone, with customizable options.

By default, metatables are copied, except for data loaded via mw.loadData (see below). If metatableFlag is set to "none", the copy will not have any metatables at all. Conversely, if metatableFlag is set to "keep", then the cloned table (and all its members) will have the exact same metatable as their original version.
If keepLoadedData is true, then any data loaded via mw.loadData will not be copied, and the original will be used instead. This is useful in iterative contexts where it is necessary to copy data being destructively modified, because objects loaded via mw.loadData are immutable.
Notes:
1. Protected metatables will not be copied (i.e. those hidden behind a metatable metamethod), as they are not accessible by Lua's design. Instead, the output of the metatable method will be used instead.
2. When iterating over the table, the pairs metamethod is ignored, since this can prevent the table from being properly cloned.
3. Data loaded via mw.loadData is a special case in two ways: the metatable is stripped, because otherwise the cloned table throws errors when accessed; in addition, the pairs metamethod is used, since otherwise the cloned table would be empty.

export.append

function export.append(...)

Append any number of tables together and returns the result. Compare the Lisp expression (append list1 list2 ...).

export.extendList

function export.extendList(list, new_items, options)

Extend an existing list by a new list, modifying the existing list in-place. Compare the Python expression list.extend(new_items).

options is an optional table of additional options to control the behavior of the operation. The following options are recognized:

insertIfNot: Use export.insertIfNot() instead of table.insert(), which ensures that duplicate items do not get inserted (at the cost of an O((M+N)*N) operation, where M = #list and N = #new_items).
key: As in insertIfNot(). Ignored otherwise.
pos: As in insertIfNot(). Ignored otherwise.

export.removeDuplicates

function export.removeDuplicates(t)

Remove duplicate values from an array. Non-positive-integer keys are ignored. The earliest value is kept, and all subsequent duplicate values are removed, but otherwise the array order is unchanged. -- -0, NaN and -NaN have special handling, as they can't be used as table keys.

export.numKeys

function export.numKeys(t, checked)

Given a table, return an array containing the numbers of any numerical keys that have non-nil values, sorted in numerical order.

export.maxIndex

function export.maxIndex(t)

Return the maximum index of a table or array that possibly has holes in it, or 0 if there are no numerical keys in the table.

export.compressSparseArray

function export.compressSparseArray(t)

This takes an array with one or more nil values, and removes the nil values while preserving the order, so that the array can be safely traversed with ipairs.

export.sparseIpairs

function export.sparseIpairs(t)

This is an iterator for sparse arrays. It can be used like ipairs, but can handle nil values.

export.size

function export.size(t)

This returns the size of a key/value pair table. It will also work on arrays, but for arrays it is more efficient to use the # operator.

export.length

function export.length(t)

This returns the length of a table, or the first integer key n counting from 1 such that t[n + 1] is nil. It is similar to the operator #, but may return a different value when metamethods are involved. Intended to be used on data loaded with mw.loadData. For other tables, use #.

export.deepEquals

function export.deepEquals(a, b, include_mt)

Recursively compare two values that may be tables, and returns true if all key-value pairs are structurally equivalent. Note that this handles arbitrary nesting of subtables (including recursive nesting) to any depth, for keys as well as values.

If include_mt is true, then metatables are also compared.

export.getNested

function export.getNested(t, ...)

Given a table and an arbitrary number of keys, will successively access subtables using each key in turn, returning the value at the final key. For example, if t is {[1] = {[2] = {[3] = "foo"}}}, export.getNested(t, 1, 2, 3) will return "foo".

If no subtable exists for a given key value, returns nil, but will throw an error if a non-table is found at an intermediary key.

export.setNested

function export.setNested(t, ...)

Given a table, value and an arbitrary number of keys, will successively access subtables using each key in turn, and sets the value at the final key. For example, if t is {}, export.setNested(t, "foo", 1, 2, 3) will modify t to {[1] = {[2] = {[3] = "foo"} } }.

If no subtable exists for a given key value, one will be created, but the function will throw an error if a non-table value is found at an intermediary key.

Note: the parameter order (table, value, keys) differs from functions like rawset, because the number of keys can be arbitrary. This is to avoid situations where an additional argument must be appended to arbitrary lists of variables, which can be awkward and error-prone: for example, when handling variable arguments (...) or function return values.

export.contains

function export.contains(list, x, options)

Given a list and a value to be found, return true if the value is in the array portion of the list. Comparison is by value, using deepEquals.

export.tableContains

function export.tableContains(tbl, x)

Given a general table and a value to be found, return true if the value is in either the array or hashmap portion of the table. Comparison is by value, using deepEquals.

NOTE: This used to do shallow comparison by default and accepted a third "deepCompare" param to do deep comparison. This param is still accepted but now ignored.

export.insertIfNot

function export.insertIfNot(list, new_item, options)

Given a list and a new_item to be inserted, append the value to the end of the list if not already present (or insert at an arbitrary position, if options.pos is given; see below). Comparison is by value, using deepEquals.

options is an optional table of additional options to control the behavior of the operation. The following options are recognized:

pos: Position at which insertion happens (i.e. before the existing item at position pos).
key: Function of one argument to return a comparison key, as with deepEquals. The key function is applied to both item and the existing item in list to compare against, and the comparison is done against the results. This is useful when inserting a complex structure into an existing list while avoiding duplicates.
combine: Function of three arguments (the existing item, the new item and the position, respectively) to combine an existing item with new_item, when new_item is found in list. If unspecified, the existing item is left alone.

Return false if entry already found, true if inserted.

For compatibility, pos can be specified directly as the third argument in place of options, but this is not recommended for new code.

NOTE: This function is O(N) in the size of the existing list. If you use this function in a loop to insert several items, you will get O(M*(M+N)) behavior, effectively O((M+N)^2). Thus it is not recommended to use this unless you are sure the total number of items will be small. (An alternative for large lists is to insert all the items without checking for duplicates, and use removeDuplicates() at the end.)

export.keyFor

function export.keyFor(t, valueToFind)

Finds key for specified value in a given table. Roughly equivalent to reversing the key-value pairs in the table:

reversed_table = { [value1] = key1, [value2] = key2, ... } and then returning reversed_table[valueToFind].

The value can only be a string or a number (not nil, a boolean, a table, or a function).

Only reliable if there is just one key with the specified value. Otherwise, the function returns the first key found, and the output is unpredictable.

export.keysToList

function export.keysToList(t, keySort, checked)

Return a list of the keys in a table, sorted using either the default table.sort function or a custom keySort function. If there are only numerical keys, numKeys is probably more efficient.

export.sortedPairs

function export.sortedPairs(t, keySort)

Iterates through a table, with the keys sorted using the keysToList function. If there are only numerical keys, sparseIpairs is probably more efficient.

export.reverseIpairs

function export.reverseIpairs(t)

Бул функциянын документтери жок. Сураныч, анын колдонулушунун, киришинин жана чыгышынын сүрөттөмөсүн кошуңуз, же анын окшош функциялардан айырмасы, же аны функциялардын тизмесинен алып салуу үчүн локалдуу кылыңыз.

export.reduce

function export.reduce(list, func, i, j, s)

Given an array list and function func, iterate through the array applying func(r, k, v), and returning the result, where r is the value calculated so far, k is an index, and v is the value at index k. For example, reduce(array, function(a, b) return a + b end) will return the sum of array.

Optional arguments:

i: start index; negative values count from the end of the array
j: end index; negative values count from the end of the array
s: step increment These must be non-zero integers. The function will determine where to iterate from, whether to iterate forwards or backwards and by how much, based on these inputs (see examples below for default behaviours).

Examples:

No values for i, j or s results in forward iteration from the start to the end in steps of 1 (the default).
s=-1 results in backward iteration from the end to the start in steps of 1.
i=7, j=3 results in backward iteration from indices 7 to 3 in steps of 1 (i.e. s=-1).
j=-3 results in forward iteration from the start to the 3rd last index.
j=-3, s=-1 results in backward iteration from the end to the 3rd last index. Note: directionality generally only matters for reduce, but values of s > 1 (or s < -1) still affect the return value of apply.

export.apply

function export.apply(list, func, i, j, s)

Given an array list and function func, iterate through the array applying func(k, v) (where k is an index, and v is the value at index k), and return an array of the resulting values. For example, apply(array, function(a) return 2*a end) will return an array where each member of array has been doubled.

Optional arguments:

i: start index; negative values count from the end of the array
j: end index; negative values count from the end of the array
s: step increment These must be non-zero integers. The function will determine where to iterate from, whether to iterate forwards or backwards and by how much, based on these inputs (see examples below for default behaviours).

Examples:

No values for i, j or s results in forward iteration from the start to the end in steps of 1 (the default).
s=-1 results in backward iteration from the end to the start in steps of 1.
i=7, j=3 results in backward iteration from indices 7 to 3 in steps of 1 (i.e. s=-1).
j=-3 results in forward iteration from the start to the 3rd last index.
j=-3, s=-1 results in backward iteration from the end to the 3rd last index. Note: directionality makes the most difference for reduce, but values of s > 1 (or s < -1) still affect the return value of apply.

export.all

function export.all(list, func, i, j, s)

Given an array list and function func, iterate through the array applying func(k, v) (where k is an index, and v is the value at index k), and returning whether the function is true for all iterations.

Optional arguments:

i: start index; negative values count from the end of the array
j: end index; negative values count from the end of the array
s: step increment These must be non-zero integers. The function will determine where to iterate from, whether to iterate forwards or backwards and by how much, based on these inputs (see examples below for default behaviours).

Examples:

No values for i, j or s results in forward iteration from the start to the end in steps of 1 (the default).
s=-1 results in backward iteration from the end to the start in steps of 1.
i=7, j=3 results in backward iteration from indices 7 to 3 in steps of 1 (i.e. s=-1).
j=-3 results in forward iteration from the start to the 3rd last index.
j=-3, s=-1 results in backward iteration from the end to the 3rd last index.

export.any

function export.any(list, func, i, j, s)

Given an array list and function func, iterate through the array applying func(k, v) (where k is an index, and v is the value at index k), and returning whether the function is true for at least one iteration.

Optional arguments:

i: start index; negative values count from the end of the array
j: end index; negative values count from the end of the array
s: step increment These must be non-zero integers. The function will determine where to iterate from, whether to iterate forwards or backwards and by how much, based on these inputs (see examples below for default behaviours).

Examples:

No values for i, j or s results in forward iteration from the start to the end in steps of 1 (the default).
s=-1 results in backward iteration from the end to the start in steps of 1.
i=7, j=3 results in backward iteration from indices 7 to 3 in steps of 1 (i.e. s=-1).
j=-3 results in forward iteration from the start to the 3rd last index.
j=-3, s=-1 results in backward iteration from the end to the 3rd last index.

export.serialCommaJoin

function export.serialCommaJoin(seq, options)

Joins an array with serial comma and serial conjunction, normally "and". An improvement on mw.text.listToText, which doesn't properly handle serial commas.

Options:

conj: Conjunction to use; defaults to "and".
italicizeConj: Italicize conjunction: for Module:also
dontTag: Don't tag the serial comma and serial "and". For error messages, in which HTML cannot be used.

export.sparseConcat

function export.sparseConcat(t, sep, i, j)

Concatenate all values in the table that are indexed by a number, in order.

sparseConcat{ a, nil, c, d } => "acd"
sparseConcat{ nil, b, c, d } => "bcd"

export.reverse

function export.reverse(t)

Values of numeric keys in array portion of table are reversed: { "a", "b", "c" } -> { "c", "b", "a" }

export.reverseConcat

function export.reverseConcat(t, sep, i, j)

Бул функциянын документтери жок. Сураныч, анын колдонулушунун, киришинин жана чыгышынын сүрөттөмөсүн кошуңуз, же анын окшош функциялардан айырмасы, же аны функциялардын тизмесинен алып салуу үчүн локалдуу кылыңыз.

export.invert

function export.invert(array)

Invert an array. For example, invert({ "a", "b", "c" }) -> { a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 }

export.listToSet

function export.listToSet(list, value, ...)

Convert list (a table with a list of values) into a set (a table where those values are keys instead). This is a useful way to create a fast lookup table, since looking up a table key is much, much faster than iterating over the whole list to see if it contains a given value.

By default, each item is given the value true. If the optional parameter value is a function or functor, then the value for each item is determined by calling it with the item key as the first parameter, plus any additional arguments passed to listToSet; if value is anything else, then it is used as the fixed value for every item.

export.isArray

function export.isArray(t)

Return true if all keys in the table are consecutive integers starting at 1.

export.alias

function export.alias(t, k, aliases)

Add a list of aliases for a given key to a table. The aliases must be given as a table.

Given a `list` and a `new_item` to be inserted, append the value to the end of the list if not already present
(or insert at an arbitrary position, if `options.pos` is given; see below). Comparison is by value, using {deepEquals}.

`options` is an optional table of additional options to control the behavior of the operation. The following options are
recognized:
* `pos`: Position at which insertion happens (i.e. before the existing item at position `pos`).
* `key`: Function of one argument to return a comparison key, as with {deepEquals}. The key function is applied to both
		 `item` and the existing item in `list` to compare against, and the comparison is done against the results.
		 This is useful when inserting a complex structure into an existing list while avoiding duplicates.
* `combine`: Function of three arguments (the existing item, the new item and the position, respectively) to combine an
			 existing item with `new_item`, when `new_item` is found in `list`. If unspecified, the existing item is
			 left alone.

Return {false} if entry already found, {true} if inserted.

For compatibility, `pos` can be specified directly as the third argument in place of `options`, but this is not
recommended for new code.

NOTE: This function is O(N) in the size of the existing list. If you use this function in a loop to insert several
items, you will get O(M*(M+N)) behavior, effectively O((M+N)^2). Thus it is not recommended to use this unless you are
sure the total number of items will be small. (An alternative for large lists is to insert all the items without
checking for duplicates, and use {removeDuplicates()} at the end.)

Given an array `list` and function `func`, iterate through the array applying {func(r, k, v)}, and returning the result,
where `r` is the value calculated so far, `k` is an index, and `v` is the value at index `k`. For example,

Optional arguments:
* `i`: start index; negative values count from the end of the array
* `j`: end index; negative values count from the end of the array
* `s`: step increment
These must be non-zero integers. The function will determine where to iterate from, whether to iterate forwards or
backwards and by how much, based on these inputs (see examples below for default behaviours).

Examples:
# No values for i, j or s results in forward iteration from the start to the end in steps of 1 (the default).
