@spec cast(value :: input(), schema :: schema()) :: result()

Cast an incoming keyword list or map to an output map using the provided schema to control conversion rules and validations.

Options

• :merge - Provide a map matching the given schema that contains default values to be used if the input value does not contain a particular field. Useful when updating a map with new inputs without overwriting all fields.

Examples

iex> Want.Map.cast(%{"id" => 1}, %{id: [type: :integer]})
{:ok, %{id: 1}}

iex> Want.Map.cast(%{}, %{id: [type: :integer, default: 1]})
{:ok, %{id: 1}}

iex> Want.Map.cast(%{"id" => "bananas"}, %{id: [type: :integer, default: 1]})
{:ok, %{id: 1}}

iex> Want.Map.cast(%{"archived" => "true"}, %{archived: [type: :boolean, default: false]})
{:ok, %{archived: true}}

iex> Want.Map.cast(%{"archived" => "false"}, %{archived: [type: :boolean, default: false]})
{:ok, %{archived: false}}

iex> Want.Map.cast(%{}, %{archived: [type: :boolean, default: false]})
