I'm a newbie to clojure and i'm trying to convert a messages that come in a particular format into another.
ie, i have to convert something like:
{
:image-url ["https://image.png"],
:topic "Some title",
:id "88ebaf91-a01d-4683-9aa7-629bb3ecea01",
:short-description "Some Description",
:mobile-deeplink "https://deeplink.com/link",
:partner-name "partner"}
Into something like
{
:title "Some title",
:id "88ebaf91-a01d-4683-9aa7-629bb3ecea01",
:content {
:url ["https://image.png"],
:description "Some Description",
:deeplink "https://deeplink.com/link",
:partner "partner"}}
So in effect, there is a combination of renaming keys and nesting the flat map
What I have done so far was something on the lines of:
(let [message-map {
:image-url :purl
:topic :title
:partner-name :partner
:short-description :description
:mobile-deeplink :deeplink}]
(defn- map-to-body
[message]
(-> message
(clojure.set/rename-keys message-map)
;;some sort of (assoc-in) <- this is where i need help in
)))
Combining assoc-in
, a path conversion table, and reduce
could be more self-describing and maintainable. You could choose to reduce over either the conversion table or the input message, whichever makes more sense for the data you have.
(defn transform [m]
(let [pp '([:image-url [:content :url]]
[:topic [:title]]
[:id [:id]]
[:short-description [:content :description]]
;; etc.
)]
(reduce
(fn [o [mk ok]]
(assoc-in o ok (get m mk)))
{}
pp)))
