Functional helpers

const_fn

A function that returns a const

Ignoring up to 3 additional args, returning a const

    iex(1)> const_fn(1).()
    1

    iex(2)> const_fn(2, 1)
    2

    iex(3)> const_fn(:a, 1, 2)
    :a

    iex(4)> const_fn(nil, 1, :a, [])
    nil

nil_fn

Short for const_fn(nil, ...)

    iex(5)> nil_fn()
    nil

    iex(6)> nil_fn(42)
    nil

    iex(7)> nil_fn({:a, :b}, "hello")
    nil

    iex(8)> nil_fn([], "hello", %{})
    nil

tagged_fn

A function that wraps the result of const_fn into a tagged tuple

    iex(9)> tagged_fn(:alpha).("beta")
    {:alpha, "beta"}

transform_many

delegates to ExAequoFn.Transformer.many (see below for details)

Implements functional transformation helpers

many

many takes a list and a list of transsformers. A transformer is simply a function that returns either {:ok, value} or :error

The list is traversed by calling all transformers on each element of the list until the first transformer returns an {:ok, value} tuple in which case the element is replaced by value. If a transformer returning an :ok value is found for all elements, then the tuple {:ok, [transformed values,...]} is returned, otherwise :error is returned

    iex(1)> ft = %{a: 1, b: 2}
    ...(1)> st = %{a: 2, x: 3}
    ...(1)> ff = &Map.fetch(ft, &1)
    ...(1)> sf = &Map.fetch(st, &1)
    ...(1)> assert many([:a, :x], [ff, sf]) == {:ok, [1, 3]}
    ...(1)> assert many([:a, :z], [ff, sf]) == :error
