Update_all

By Goblin Docs ~ 7 min read

Update All replaces every value in a collection.

Overview

update_all updates every value in a collection.

items | [1, 2, 3]

:update_all!(items, [9, 9, 9])

items | [1, 2, 3]

:update_all!(items, [9, 9, 9])

Result:

[9, 9, 9]

[9, 9, 9]

update_all and update perform the same operation.

:update!(items, [9, 9, 9])

:update_all!(items, [9, 9, 9])

:update!(items, [9, 9, 9])

:update_all!(items, [9, 9, 9])

Both replace the entire collection.

Like most collection utilities, update_all follows Goblin's bang (!) rules.

items | [1, 2, 3]

:update_all(items, [9, 9, 9])

items | [1, 2, 3]

:update_all(items, [9, 9, 9])

The original collection remains unchanged.

:update_all!(items, [9, 9, 9])

:update_all!(items, [9, 9, 9])

The original collection is modified.
