Module:Shared

Documentation for this module may be created at Module:Shared/doc

--So there are a handful of functions that I'm using in a lot of places
--So rather than continue to copy across the same handful of functions to every single new module
--I'm just going to unify them here
--Here's how you use this:
-- 1. When you're making a new module, add this near the top:
--        local Shared = require( "Module:Shared" )
-- 2. When you need to make a call to one of these functions,
--    just preface it with "Shared."
--    So for example you could call tableCount like so:
--        Shared.tableCount(data)
--This whole module copied wholesale from the Warframe wiki (https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Module:Shared)
--I removed a couple irrelevant functions, but otherwise did not change anything

local p = {}
 
-- iterator sorted by keys
-- For example, if you had a table that looked something like
-- data = {["Cat"] = 5,
--         ["Bat"] = 4,
--         ["Hat"] = 7}
-- You could do
--  for k, v in skpairs(data) do...
-- And your loop would start with k="Bat", v=4 then go to k="Cat", v=5, 
--         and finally to k="Hat", v=7
--Originally snagged this from Module:VoidByReward written by User:NoBrainz
function p.skpairs(t, revert)
    local keys = {}
    for k in pairs(t) do keys[#keys + 1] = k end
    if revert ~= nil then
        table.sort(keys, function(a, b) return a > b end)
    else
        table.sort(keys)
    end
 
    local i = 0
    local iterator = function()
        i = i + 1
        local key = keys[i]
        if key then
            return key, t[key]
        else
            return nil
        end
    end
    return iterator
end
 
-- conveniently shifts BLAH to Blah
-- Handy when formatting data in ALL CAPS or all lower case

--      loaded into a module by mw.loadData().
--      Use this function to get all the rows in a table regardless of them
--      being keys, values, or tables
