Transformation utility functions.

• restructure to rewrite maps
• val-map map functions over map values

literal clj

(literal x)

For use in restructure, marks a value as one that should be preserved literally in the output.

restructure clj

(restructure m re-map)

Takes an input map and 'restructures' it according to re-map. Restructuring could be thought of as a sort of complement to associative destructuring. It allows you to reshape and transform the data in the input map. This is accomplished by building a map (in re-map) with the desired structure, with values that describe where to get the desired data from the input map, along with optional transforms. Keys and nested maps in re-map will be preserved. Non-map values are extractors - they specify how to retrieve and optionally transform the data from the input map. Extractors can be:

• non-collection values, which will be treated as keys in the input map and replaced with the associated value
• vectors, which are treated as tuples of the following-form: [extraction xform-or-val]
  • If extraction is a vector, it will retrieve the associated value from the input map as with get-in.
  • If extraction is a map, it can be used to extract multiple values to be passed to the transform, as described below.
  • If extraction is the special-case keyword ::literal (as is the case when one calls literal) then the value of xform-or-val will be used as the literal value.
  • Otherwise it will be treated as a key, as in an extractor. The map version of extraction takes this form: {:ks [key-names-or-nested-vectors] :defaults [optional-defaults]} The values of the extracted keys will be passed, in the order specified, to the transform function. Any missing keys will have nil values. If xform function is provided, it will be called on the value to transform. If a key is missing from the input map or the supplied transformation function returns nil, it will not be included in the output map. ex: (restructure {:a 1 :b 2 :c 3 :d {:e 4}} {:bb {:cc [:a inc] :dd (literal "hi")} :ee [{:ks [:b :c]} max] :ff [{:ks [:f] :defaults [5]} inc] :gg [[:d :e]]}) => {:bb {:cc 2, :dd "hi"} :ee 3 :ff 6 :gg 4}

val-map clj

(val-map f m)

Maps function f over the values of map m
