[jira] [Commented] (FREEMARKER-8) Adding to a hash (map)

["Daniel Dekany (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-8?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14997740#comment-14997740 ] 

Daniel Dekany commented on FREEMARKER-8:
----------------------------------------

That's known but though one. FreeMarker doesn't access {{Map}}-s directly, instead it uses {{TemplateModel}} interfaces like {{TemplateHashModelEx}}. Those has no methods for modifications. Of course we could add something like {{WritableTemplateHashModelEx}} which extends {{TemplateHashModelEx}}, and then also had to update some of the built-in functions which assume that these models are immutable. But before doing anything like that, there's another higher priority issues, adding a model interface that allows non-string keys (would be certainly called {{TemplateMapModel}}), and then extend that inferface to have writable variation.

> It would be nice to assign to a map this way:
> {code}
> <#assign map["key"] = 1>
> {code}
> and also 
> {code}
> <#assign map["key"]++>
> {code}
> So far I think it's like this but can't get it work:
> {code}
> <#assign map += {classification.classification : map[classification.classification]!++}>
> {code}
> Thanks for considering.
