Installation

Available in Hex, the package can be installed as:

  1. Add pit to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:
  def deps do
    [{:pit, "~> 1.2.0"}]
  end

Usage

The pit macro lets you pipe value transformations by pattern matching on data as it is passed down the pipe.

The syntax for transforming values is expression |> pit(value <- pattern).

By default if a value does not match the pattern, pit simply passes down the value it was given. You can however enforce the pattern to match by using pit! which will raise an error on mismatch. Or you can provide an else: option to pit to handle the mismatch yourself.

See the following examples:

Examples


iex> # Pipe a value if a tagged tuple matches
iex> import Pit
...> {:ok, "hello"}
...>   |> pit(ok: String.length)
5

iex> # does not pipe if tagged tuple does not match
iex> import Pit
...> {:error, "hello"}
...>   |> pit(ok: String.length)
{:error, "hello"}


iex> # pit! raises on tagged tuple mismatch
iex> import Pit
...> {:error, "hello"}
...>   |> pit!(ok: String.length, yes: String.length)
** (Pit.PipedValueMismatch) expected piped value to be a tagged tuple with one of keys `[:ok, :yes]` but got `{:error, "hello"}`


iex> # this example transforms an ok tuple
iex> import Pit
...> value = {:ok, 11}
...> value
...>   |> pit(n * 2 <- {:ok, n})
22


iex> # If the value does not match, no transformation is made.
iex> import Pit
...> value = {:ok, :hi}
...> value
...>   |> pit(n * 2 <- {:ok, n} when is_number(n))
{:ok, :hi}


iex> # You can force the pattern to match by using `pit!`
iex> import Pit
...> value = {:ok, :hi}
...> value
...>   |> pit!(n * 2 <- {:ok, n} when is_number(n))
** (Pit.PipedValueMismatch) expected piped value to match `{:ok, n} when is_number(n)` but got `{:ok, :hi}`


iex> # The following will ensure there are no errors on
iex> # the response and double the count value from data.
iex> import Pit
...> response = {:ok, %{data: %{"count" => 10}, errors: []}}
...> response
...>    |> pit!(data <- {:ok, %{errors: [], data: data}})
...>    |> pit(count * 2 <- %{"count" => count})
20


iex> # The pattern can be negated with `not` or `!`.
iex> # in this case raise if an error tuple is found.
iex> import Pit
...> response = {:cool, 22}
...> response
...>    |> pit!(not {:error, _})
...>    |> pit(n <- {_, n})
22


iex> # should raise when using `pit!`
iex> import Pit
...> response = {:error, :not_found}
...> response
...>    |> pit!(not {:error, _})
...>    |> pit(n <- {_, n})
** (Pit.PipedValueMismatch) did not expect piped value to match `{:error, _}` but got `{:error, :not_found}`


iex> # also, when a guard fails an error is raised
iex> import Pit
...> response = {:ok, 22}
...> response
...>    |> pit!({:ok, n} when n > 30)
...>    |> pit(n <- {:ok, n})
** (Pit.PipedValueMismatch) expected piped value to match `{:ok, n} when n > 30` but got `{:ok, 22}`


iex> # If you use `pit!/1` at the final of your pipe, it will
iex> # extract the value that caused the mismatch.
iex> import Pit
...> value = {:error, 11}
...> value
...>   |> pit!({:ok, _})  # raises Pit.PipedValueMismatch
...>   |> Yeah.got_it     # never gets executed
...>   |> pit!            # rescue value from PipedValueMismatch
{:error, 11}


iex> # The `tag:` option lets you create a tagged tuple.
iex> # Tagging mismatch values can be useful for example to know which
iex> # pipe stage was the one that failed.
iex> import Pit
...> user = nil # ie. Repo.get_by User, email: "[email protected]"
...> user
...>   |> pit!(not nil, tag: :user) # raises Pit.PipedValueMismatch
...>   |> User.avatar_url           # never gets executed
...>   |> pit!                      # unwraps value from PipedValueMismatch
{:user, nil}


iex> # Tags also apply on matching patterns.
iex> import Pit
...> user = {:ok, 21} # ie. Universe.so_so_answer
...> user
...>   |> pit!(x * 2 <- {:ok, x}, tag: :answer)
{:answer, 42}


iex> # You can provide a default value in case of mismatch
iex> import Pit
...> response = {:error, :not_found}
...> response
...>    |> pit({:ok, _}, else: {:ok, :default})
...>    |> pit(n <- {:ok, n})
:default


iex> # Or you can pipe the mismatch value to other pipe using `else_pipe:` option
iex> # and get the value down a more interesting transformation flow.
iex> import Pit
...> response = {:ok, "hello"}
...> response
...>   |> pit({:ok, n} when is_integer(n),
...>        do: {:ok, :was_integer, n},
...>        else_pipe: pit(s <- {:ok, s} when is_binary(s)) |> String.length |> pit({:ok, :was_string, len} <- len))
...>   |> pit(x * 2 <- {:ok, _, x})
10


iex> # Both `do_pipe` and `else_pipe` if given the `:it` atom just pass the value down
iex> import Pit
...> {:error, 22} |> pit({:ok, _}, else_pipe: :it)
{:error, 22}

iex> import Pit
...> {:ok, 22} |> pit({:ok, _}, do_pipe: :it)
{:ok, 22}


iex> # The do form can take a block using bound variables.
iex> import Pit
...> {:ok, 22}
...> |> pit {:ok, n} do
...>    x = n / 11
...>    x * 2
