Containers

Containers are useful to create a collection of values. Four kinds of native containers exist in Drift: arrays, lists, sets and dictionaries. Each container has its own properties and logic.

note

Containers are based on Kotlin types. For example, Dictionaries are based on Kotlin's Map type.

warning

At this moment, Drift only implements implicit List typing. No other container types are supported yet.

Lists

Lists are useful to store values following an order. Order is defined by integer keys. List's keys always begin with 0. Without an explicit type, a list can store all types.

Lists have mutable size, it is more powerful for content editing than Arrays.

warning

At this moment, Drift does not implement explicit list typing.
