Hey there,

I made a quick module called ‘DictionaryTools’, it’s sort of like the table library, but for dictionaries. Here is the module:

-- // Basic Types //

type table = {any}
type dictionary = {[string]: any}
type array = {[number]: any}

-- // Custom Types //

-- // Package Configuration //

local Package = {}

local PackageAssets = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Assets")
local PackagePlugins = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Plugins")
local Settings = require(script.Parent:WaitForChild("PackageConfiguration"):WaitForChild("Settings"))

-- // Variables //



-- // Functions //

--[[

	Package.removekey()
	
	Removes the `k` key from `d` and returns the new dictionary with `k` removed.

--]]

function Package.removekey(d: dictionary, k: string): dictionary?
	if d[k] ~= nil then
		d[k] = nil
		return d
	else
		error(string.format("'%s' key does not exist.", k))
		return
	end
end

--[[

	Package.insertkey()
	
	Inserts a new key to `d` with the name of `k` and value of `v`, and returns the new dictionary.

--]]


function Package.insertkey(d: dictionary, k: string, v: any): dictionary
	d[k] = v
	return d
end

--[[

	Package.unpack()
	
	Unpacks `d` into a tuple. The tuple will contain keys or values based on `returnKeys`, and returns the tuple.

--]]

function Package.unpack(d: dictionary, returnKeys: boolean?): ...any
	returnKeys = returnKeys or false
	
	local tuple = { }
	for key, value in pairs(d) do
		if returnKeys then
			table.insert(tuple, key)
		else
			table.insert(tuple, value)
		end
	end
	return table.unpack(tuple)
end

--[[

	Package.convert()
	
	Converts `d` to a regular table, containing tables of each key and it's value, and returns the new table.
	For example, this:
	
	local myDictionary = {
		["Key"] = 1;
		["Key2"] = 2;
	}
	
	will become this:
	
	local myConvertedDictionary = {
		{"Key", 1};
		{"Key2", 2};
	}

--]]

function Package.convert(d: dictionary): table
	local defaultTable = { }
	for key, value in pairs(d) do
		table.insert(defaultTable, {key, value})
	end
	return defaultTable
end

return Package

Thanks!
