pack::ValueList<BasicType>

ValueList is container specialized to hold BasicType. Exist slight difference between this type and ObjectList.

Pack defines some useful ValuesList<BasicType> as types:

using Int32List  = ValueList<Type::Int32>;
using Int64List  = ValueList<Type::Int64>;
using UInt32List = ValueList<Type::UInt32>;
using UInt64List = ValueList<Type::UInt64>;
using FloatList  = ValueList<Type::Float>;
using DoubleList = ValueList<Type::Double>;
using BoolList   = ValueList<Type::Bool>;
using StringList = ValueList<Type::String>;

Some useful methods (for BasicType::CppType see mapping in BasicType):

• Returns std::vector<BasicType::CppType>

    const ListType& value() const;

• Sets std::vector<BasicType::CppType>

    void setValue(const ListType& val);

• Appends BasicType::CppType to the container

    void append(const CppType& value);
    void append(CppType&& value);

• Finds value in container (TODO: return int index as result)

    bool find(const CppType& val) const;

• Remove values from container by it's value

    bool remove(const CppType& toRemove);

• Return a reference to value by index

    const CppType& operator[](int index) const;

• Returns true if container contains values

    bool empty() const;

• Sorts list by comparison function object. Comparison function object should be same as described in std::sort

    template <typename Func>
    void sort(Func&& func);

Example

Create list of strings:

pack::StringList list = {"the", "blue", "parrot"};

Serialize it:

std::cerr << *pack::json::serialize(list) << std::endl;

Output would be:

["the", "blue", "parrot"]
