extension Array { | |

if let index = find(self, item) where index + 1 < count { | |

This works for me with Xcode 7/Swift 2.2:
extension Array where Element: Hashable {
func after(item: Element) -> Element? {
if let index = self.indexOf(item) where index + 1 < self.count {
return self[index + 1]
}
return nil
}
}
I would like to control the array in sequence for back and next buttons, right now it selects the items randomly "Int(arc4random_uniform)" how can I change this? (I have not added the else/if functions yet)
@IBOutlet weak var slide: UIImageView!
@IBOutlet weak var playNextButton: UIButton!
var slideArray:[String] = ["slide1", "slide2", "slide3", "slide4"]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
@IBAction func nextButton(sender: UIButton) {
let slide = Int(arc4random_uniform(4))
let slideString:String = self.slideArray [slide]
self.slide.image = UIImage(named: slideString)
}
}
extension Array where Element: Hashable {
func next(item: Element) -> Element? {
if let index = self.index(of: item), index + 1 <= self.count {
return index + 1 == self.count ? self[0] : self[index + 1]
}
return nil
}
func prev(item: Element) -> Element? {
if let index = self.index(of: item), index >= 0 {
return index == 0 ? self.last : self[index - 1]
}
return nil
}
}

@eastari Nice extension! But it should be enough to require the elements to be Equatable
, isn't it? (instead of Hashable
)

Correct. Here is a version for Swift 5+
extension Array where Element: Equatable {
func nextItem(after: Element) -> Element? {
if let index = self.firstIndex(of: after), index + 1 < self.count {
return self[index + 1]
}
return nil
}
}
Another version, to get the preceding or following element of an Array (Collection), if any.
This version makes no assumptions about the nature of the index (it is not assumed that the index is an Int
, nor it is assumed that the index is contiguous). Rather, index(after: index)
and index(before: index)
are used to determine the preceding/following index.
For forward lookups, the extension is applied to Collection
, while for backwards lookups, it is applied to BidirectionalCollection
: so that these functions can be used on any collection that supports the construct, not just the Array
type.
These functions are not circular (asking for the element that follows the last element in an Array will return nil
, not the first element).
As with any other solution offered on this page, it is assumed that the array has no duplicates. E.g., if your array is [A, B, C, B, E]
and you're asking for the element that follows B
, you will always get C
.
extension Collection where Element: Equatable {
func element(after element: Element) -> Element? {
if let index = self.firstIndex(of: element){
let followingIndex = self.index(after: index)
if followingIndex < self.endIndex{
return self[followingIndex]
}
}
return nil
}
}
extension BidirectionalCollection where Element: Equatable {
func element(before element: Element) -> Element? {
if let index = self.firstIndex(of: element){
let precedingIndex = self.index(before: index)
if precedingIndex >= self.startIndex{
return self[precedingIndex]
}
}
return nil
}
}
A slightly modified version of @mvarie's solution which optionally allows wrapping back to the start or end of the collection:
extension Collection where Element: Equatable {
func element(after element: Element, wrapping: Bool = false) -> Element? {
if let index = self.firstIndex(of: element){
let followingIndex = self.index(after: index)
if followingIndex < self.endIndex {
return self[followingIndex]
} else if wrapping {
return self[self.startIndex]
}
}
return nil
}
}
extension BidirectionalCollection where Element: Equatable {
func element(before element: Element, wrapping: Bool = false) -> Element? {
if let index = self.firstIndex(of: element){
let precedingIndex = self.index(before: index)
if precedingIndex >= self.startIndex {
return self[precedingIndex]
} else if wrapping {
return self[self.index(before: self.endIndex)]
}
}
return nil
}
}
Compiling on Xcode 6.3.2:
