Nestdict

Makes Nested Dictionaries Easy To Use

Nestdict is used to simplify various operations on nested and plain dictionaries. It offers various functions to simplify your work.

• Pass the dictionary object in the function of your need.
• Get the result you want.

Functions

• find_in_map(dict_obj, key1, key2, key3, ...) finds the value for nested keys if exist.

  obj = {
      "cars_owned": {
        "sedan": 1,
        "suv": 3,
        "hatchback": 2
      },
  }
  
  suv_cars_count = find_in_map(obj, "cars_owned", "suv")
  
  print(suv_cars_count) >> 3

• all_keys(dict_obj) returns all the keys present in the object

  obj = {
     "cars_owned": {
       "sedan": 1,
       "suv": 3,
       "hatchback": 2
     },
  }
  
  car_types = all_keys(obj["cars_owned"])
  all_keys_in_obj = all_keys(obj)
  
  print(car_types) >> ["sedan", "suv", "hachback"]
  print(all_keys_in_obj) >> ["cars_owned", "sedan", "suv", "hachback"]

• check_keys(dict_obj, [key1, key2, ...]) check if all the keys exist in object

  obj = {
     "cars_owned": {
       "sedan": 1,
       "suv": 3,
       "hatchback": 2
     },
  }
  
  is_sedan_and_suv_exist = check_keys(obj, ["sedan", "suv"])
  
  print(is_sedan_and_suv_exist) >> True

• change_value(dict_obj,key,value) replaces a particular key's value.

  obj = {
      "cars_owned":{
           "sedan": 1,
            "suv": 3,
            "hatchback": 2
       },
   }
  
  change_value_of_suv = change_value(obj,"suv",100)
  
  print(change_value_of_suv) >> {"cars_owned":{"sedan":1,"suv":100,"hatchback":2},}

• change_key(dict,from_old_key, to_new_key) replaces a particular key.

  obj = {
     "cars_owned":{
          "sedan":1,
          "suv" : 3,
          "hatchback" : 2
       }
   }
  
  change_hatchback_key = change_key(obj,"hatchback","tesla")
  
  print(change_hatchback_key) >> {"cars_owned":{"sedan" : 1,"suv":3,"tesla":2}}
