These changes would be a great addition:

ContainsKey - Should check if a key exists
GetOrThrow - Should throw if the requested key does not exist
Indexers
- var value = VarName[key] (Also should throw if the requested key does not exists)
- VarName[key] = value (should call emplace)

Wsm2110 commented 2 years ago

ContainsKey - you could use Emplace() which returns false if the key is used

GetOrThrow - not really sure why you would want to throw, i always hated the fact that dictionaries throw while the key is not found. It returns a default value in which you can decide whether you want to throw or not.

Indexors - will do :)

frankhommers commented 2 years ago

GetOrThrow: I sometimes have keys with values as their defaults, so I can't tell the difference.
ContainsKey: I do not always want to emplace.

Nice work BTW.

Wsm2110 commented 2 years ago

Get now returns a bool if the key exists which should be a proper replacement for ContainsKey Added indexers which throw if the key hasnt been found
