Class HashKeys

java.lang.Object
  extended by freemarker.ext.misc.HashKeys
All Implemented Interfaces:
TemplateMethodModel2, TemplateModel, java.io.Serializable

public final class HashKeys
extends java.lang.Object
implements TemplateMethodModel2, java.io.Serializable

Determines the keyset of the underlying Map object given a TemplateObjectModel. Does this by calling the getAsObject method. If the object is of the expected type, the keyset is returned as a FastList. Otherwise, a TemplateModelException is thrown.

Usage:
From java:

 TemplateModelRoot root = new SimpleHash();

 root.put( "keys", freemarker.ext.misc.HashKeys.getInstance() );

 ...
 

From your FM-Classic template:

 <assign hash1 = { "test1", "value1",
                      "test2", "value2",
                      "test3", "value3" }>
 <assign keyList = keys( hash1 )>
 <p>The keys of hash1 are:</p>
 <p><foreach key in keyList>
 ${key}<br>
 </foreach></p>

 ...
 

Note:
HashKeys is a singleton instance. Use the getInstance() method to retrieve instances of this model.

Method Detail

getInstance

public static HashKeys getInstance()
Retrieve a singleton instance of this class. Since there is no state information held between calls, there is only a need for one instance.

Returns:
an instance of this HashKeys class

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()
                throws TemplateModelException
Is the object empty?

Specified by:
isEmpty in interface TemplateModel
Returns:
false, since the method is never empty
Throws:
TemplateModelException

exec

public TemplateModel exec(java.util.List<TemplateModel> arguments)
                   throws TemplateModelException
Executes a method call. Arguments are passed as a List of TemplateModel objects.

Specified by:
exec in interface TemplateMethodModel2
Parameters:
arguments - a List of TemplateModel objects containing the values of the arguments passed to the method.
Returns:
the TemplateModel produced by the method, or null.
Throws:
TemplateModelException
