Should maybe "dict" in comments be replaced by Dict?

Revert this please 🙏

I am not fond of this changelog entry.

I think we can just say "The dict module gains the update function.".

I am not happy with this explanation.

Any better ideas?

Perhaps something more concise?

Updates the value in a dict for a given key using a given function.

If there already was a value in the dict for the key then it is passed into the function.

If a value is returned from the function then it will be used as the new value in the dict. If no value is returned then any previous value is removed.

If a value is returned from the function then it will be used as the new
value in the dict. If no value is returned then any previous value is removed.

But is this true?

The change callback can on None case add the key by returning Ok(value) (or Some(value))? Or did I miss something.

I am updating the tests so it is clearer that the change function is very powerful and flexible.

This shows an example where I cannot see that the function description above matches. Because it really depends on the change callback/function what happens here.

I think this function should be called change.

I think the other implementation already done should be called update https://github.com/gleam-lang/stdlib/pull/610/files.

Update means that there already is something and it can fail to update. Update does not signal removal. Change signals removal. Change fits to this PR, update to the other.

Thank you

Could you use Option for the return value here please

I thought we are not using Option for Return values.
If we have regular functions following that pattern, we then cannot apply those in this update function?

I don't think this shows the functionality very clearly. One example per code block would be good

I am not certain I follow. Per which code block?

inoas · 2024-07-26T13:02:06Z

@lpil are you certain about this being named update rather than change?

lpil · 2024-07-26T17:25:24Z

What's the motivation for it being change. I thought we did the whole deprecation cycle to free up the name update?

inoas · 2024-07-29T21:13:11Z

What's the motivation for it being change. I thought we did the whole deprecation cycle to free up the name update?

update could be used for this impl if so desired https://github.com/gleam-lang/stdlib/pull/610/files#diff-8630634f9cc0ec3abcfa5aea55f3be0e549a2131a5cce9b7f551f880ceaaaac4R497-R502
More importantly, the word update signifies that a key-pair value should exist and is updated, but the impl in this PR here may insert even if there is no key or remove if there is a key (see the test suite in this PR for examples), all depending on the change function/callback.

It changes the dict based on the function, so IMHO change is much clearer, whereas if I read dict.update I would not assume that afterwads a key-value pair is potentially removed from the dict (or added if not existing prior).

+  let half_or_zero_else_noop = fn(x) {
+    case x {
+      Some(i) -> int.divide(i, 2)


Because other functions usually return Result rather than Option, I have opted for the change function to return Result not Option as well.

I have added a unit test example to show what I mean.

Are you certain you want to return Option instead?

ref #659 (comment) cc @lpil

inoas · 2024-07-29T22:33:16Z

After feedback I made the changes to return Option rather than Result and tried to simplify the docs and the unit tests

inoas · 2024-09-26T15:45:31Z

This is still ready to be reviewed/merged unless you want me to rename this to change and have update do the other impl (see above). Please let me know if there are still things to do.

inoas · 2024-10-31T21:17:15Z

Any chance to get this into 0.42 with either name change or name update, it has been ready for a few month now @lpil
