Overview

Package pathtree provides a data structure that stores values organized under a tree-like hierarchy where values from higher levels cascade down to lower levels unless the lower levels define their own values.

For example, if 'foo/bar' defines a value X, foo/bar, foo/bar/baz, and foo/bar/qux and all their descendants inherit this value.

t.Set("foo/bar", X)
t.Get("foo/bar")     // == X
t.Get("foo/bar/baz") // == X
t.Get("foo/bar/qux") // == X

However, if 'foo/bar/baz' defines a different value Y, it and its descendants use that value.

t.Set("foo/bar",     X)
t.Set("foo/bar/baz", Y)
t.Get("foo/bar")         // == X
t.Get("foo/bar/qux")     // == X
t.Get("foo/bar/baz")     // == Y
t.Get("foo/bar/baz/qux") // == Y

Types

type Root

type Root[T any] struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Root is the starting point of the path tree. The zero-value of Root is an empty tree.

func (*Root[T]) Lookup

func (r *Root[T]) Lookup(p string) (v T, ok bool)

Lookup retrieves the value for the given path, inheriting values specified for parents of this path if it didn't get its own value.

Lookup reports true if a value was found--even if it was inherited.

func (*Root[T]) Set

func (r *Root[T]) Set(p string, v T)

Set adds a value to the tree under the given path. All descendants of this path that do not have an explicit value will inherit this value. If this path already had a value specified, it will be overwritten.

func (*Root[T]) Snapshot

func (r *Root[T]) Snapshot() []Snapshot[T]

Snapshot builds and returns a snapshot of all values in this path tree.

The returned slice holds nodes closest to root.

type Snapshot

type Snapshot[T any] struct {
	// Value in the tree,
	// or nil if this node doesn't have an explicit value.
	Value *T
	// Path to this node.
	Path string
	// Children of this node.
	Children []Snapshot[T]
}

Snapshot is a snapshot of values added to the tree presented in a hierarchical manner.
