Match On A Map In A With Construct In Elixir
Many usage example of the
with
construct show a series of matches on a tuple.
with {:ok, width} <- Map.fetch(opts, :width),
{:ok, height} <- Map.fetch(opts, :height) do
{:ok, width * height}
end
You can match on more than just tuples though. Here is how you might match on a map.
with %{status_code: 200, body: body} <- HTTPoison.get!(url),
{:ok, decoded_body} <- Poison.decode(body) do
{:ok, decoded_body}
end
In fact, you have the full power of Elixir's pattern matching available to
you in your series of matches for a with
construct.
