Pinescript dictionnary integration #65

Closed RomainPhil closed 3 years ago

RomainPhil commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I'v discover the pine script recently and the maintainability of some of my script start to become really complicated du to the absence of the object working like a dictionnary python example and the fact the array tipe can't store a string https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-docs/en/v4/language/Type_system.html#array

the size of a script attain more than 200 line with many If impricate and for each etf add to this the size grow up exponentially which wouldn't be the case with the two programatic upgrade: dictionnary and the possibility for array to store string and the a dictionnary object

Writing understandable and maintainable Script is borderline impossible without dictionary and proper loop.

This would be a excellent addition to pine script.

Thx for your suggestion. Arrays of strings are now supported: https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-docs/en/v4/Release_notes.html#december-2020 but not dictionaries yet. We will consider adding dictionaries or something similar.

Hi, I support this suggestion. I'm happy to read a 'yet', any news about it ? :D

Specs for maps are done but they are not in the pipeline yet. 2022 should see 2d arrays first, and then maps, perhaps. No promises.
