@spec from_access(access()) :: Pathex.t()

Creates path-closure from Access.t().

Note: Paths created using this function do not support force operations yet

Example

iex> import Pathex
iex> p = from_access [:x, :y]
iex> 10 = view!(%{x: [y: 10]}, p)

@spec from_list([any()], Pathex.mod()) :: Pathex.t()

Creates path from list of items. The list of items should not be known at runtime, therefore some optimizations of paths are not possible. Use this function only when Pathex.path/2 is not applicable

Example

iex> import Pathex
iex> p = from_list [:x, 1, :y]
iex> 10 = view!(%{x: [1, [y: 10]]}, p)

Creates a lens from record macro. All arguments of this macro must be compile time atoms

Example

iex> require Pathex
iex> defmodule User do
...>   import Record; defrecord(:user, name: "", age: nil)
...>
...>   def new(name) do
...>     name_lens = from_record(User, :user, :name)
...>     Pathex.force_set!({}, name_lens, name)
...>   end
...> end
iex> {:user, "Joe", nil} = User.new("Joe")

@spec from_struct(module(), atom()) ::
  Pathex.t(
    struct(),
    any()
  )

Creates a lens for specific key in the structure. It behaves the same way as a lens created with Pathex.path/2 but it works only with specified structure and force_set creates a structure with default values.

Example

iex> require Pathex
iex> defmodule Admin do
...>   defstruct name: "", age: nil
...> end
iex> name_lens = from_struct(Admin, :name)
iex> Pathex.force_set!(%{}, name_lens, "Joe")

@spec to_access(Pathex.t()) :: [Access.access_fun(any(), any())]

Converts path-closure to Access.t()

Example

iex> import Pathex
iex> access = to_access path(:x / 0, :map)
iex> 1 = get_in(%{x: %{0 => 1}}, access)
