Swift 4+
Good news! Swift 4 includes a mapValues(_:) method which constructs a copy of a dictionary with the same keys, but different values. It also includes a filter(_:) overload which returns a Dictionary, and init(uniqueKeysWithValues:) and init(_:uniquingKeysWith:) initializers to create a Dictionary from an arbitrary sequence of tuples. That means that, if you want to change both the keys and values, you can say something like:
let newDict = Dictionary(uniqueKeysWithValues:
oldDict.map { key, value in (key.uppercased(), value.lowercased()) })
There are also new APIs for merging dictionaries together, substituting a default value for missing elements, grouping values (converting a collection into a dictionary of arrays, keyed by the result of mapping the collection over some function), and more.
During discussion of the proposal, SE-0165, that introduced these features, I brought up this Stack Overflow answer several times, and I think the sheer number of upvotes helped demonstrate the demand. So thanks for your help making Swift better!

With Swift 5, you can use one of the five following snippets in order to solve your problem.
#1. Using Dictionary mapValues(_:) method
let dictionary = ["foo": 1, "bar": 2, "baz": 5]
let newDictionary = dictionary.mapValues { value in
return value + 1
}
//let newDictionary = dictionary.mapValues { $0 + 1 } // also works
print(newDictionary) // prints: ["baz": 6, "foo": 2, "bar": 3]
#2. Using Dictionary map method and init(uniqueKeysWithValues:) initializer
let dictionary = ["foo": 1, "bar": 2, "baz": 5]
let tupleArray = dictionary.map { (key: String, value: Int) in
return (key, value + 1)
}
//let tupleArray = dictionary.map { (
1 + 1) } // also works
let newDictionary = Dictionary(uniqueKeysWithValues: tupleArray)
print(newDictionary) // prints: ["baz": 6, "foo": 2, "bar": 3]
#3. Using Dictionary reduce(_:_:) method or reduce(into:_:) method
let dictionary = ["foo": 1, "bar": 2, "baz": 5]
let newDictionary = dictionary.reduce([:]) { (partialResult: [String: Int], tuple: (key: String, value: Int)) in
var result = partialResult
result[tuple.key] = tuple.value + 1
return result
}
print(newDictionary) // prints: ["baz": 6, "foo": 2, "bar": 3]
let dictionary = ["foo": 1, "bar": 2, "baz": 5]
let newDictionary = dictionary.reduce(into: [:]) { (result: inout [String: Int], tuple: (key: String, value: Int)) in
result[tuple.key] = tuple.value + 1
}
print(newDictionary) // prints: ["baz": 6, "foo": 2, "bar": 3]
#4. Using Dictionary subscript(_:default:) subscript
let dictionary = ["foo": 1, "bar": 2, "baz": 5]
var newDictionary = [String: Int]()
for (key, value) in dictionary {
newDictionary[key, default: value] += 1
}
print(newDictionary) // prints: ["baz": 6, "foo": 2, "bar": 3]
#5. Using Dictionary subscript(_:) subscript
let dictionary = ["foo": 1, "bar": 2, "baz": 5]
var newDictionary = [String: Int]()
for (key, value) in dictionary {
newDictionary[key] = value + 1
}
print(newDictionary) // prints: ["baz": 6, "foo": 2, "bar": 3]
What is mapValues in Swift dictionary?
How to define a map in Swift?
How to map dictionary to model in Swift?
How can I make the first element be the key and the index be the value and so on?
How about this?
let myDict = ["1": "one","2": "tow","3": "three"]
let mappedDict = myDict.reduce([:]) { (result, pair) -> [String: String] in
var result = result
result["0" + pair.key] = pair.value.uppercased()
return result
}
You can achieve this by doing the following:
let myDict = ["1": "one","2": "tow","3": "three"]
let mappedKeys = myDict.map { "0" + $0.key } // ["02", "01", "03"]
let mappedValues = myDict.map { $0.value.uppercased() } // ["TOW", "ONE", "THREE"]
var mappedDict = [String: String]()
let zippedArray = Array((zip(mappedKeys, mappedValues)))
for element in zippedArray {
mappedDict[element.0] = element.1
}
print(mappedDict) // ["03": "THREE", "02": "TOW", "01": "ONE"]
To be more clear, the above code snippet doing the following:
- Mapping the dictionary keys.
- Mapping the dictionary values.
- Create a new empty dictionary
mappedDictto append to it. - Combining mapped keys/values into
zippedArray(usingzip). - Filling
mappedDictvia for-loop.
