updateAndJoin method
Merges this map with another map. If a key already exists, the new map's value overrides the existing one.
Example:
Map<String, int>? map1 = {"a": 1, "b": 2};
Map<String, int>? map2 = {"b": 3, "c": 4};
print(map1.updateAndJoin(map2)); // {a: 1, b: 3, c: 4}
Implementation
Map<K, V> updateAndJoin(Map<K, V>? map) {
if (isNullOrEmpty) return map ?? {};
if (map.isNullOrEmpty) return this ?? {};
final newMap = this!;
for (final key in map!.keys) {
if (this!.containsKey(key)) {
newMap[key] = map[key] as V;
} else {
newMap.addAll({key: map[key] as V});
}
}
return map;
}
