Re: [Vala] Personal iterable, collection, list classes

[Daniel Lucraft <dan fluentradical com>]

Hi Alessandro,

because you are wrapping an already iterable object
(your 'objects' property) you can do this very simply
by returning the iterator for that collection:

public class MyList : Object, Iterable<MyObject> {
  protected ArrayList<MyObject> objects;

  public Type get_element_type () {
    return typeof (MyObject);
  }

  public Gee.Iterator<MyObject> iterator () {
    return objects.iterator();
  }
}

...

foreach(MyObject m in my_list) {
  ...
}

best,
Dan
