Chimera

Dead-simple conversion between Elixir structs

Installation

Add chimera as a mix.exs dependency:

def deps do
  [
    {:chimera, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Usage

Add use Chimera to your struct's module. It adds a new/1 function that will create a new struct from any given map, struct or keyword list.

defmodule User do
  defstruct id: nil, name: nil, email: nil
  use Chimera
end

defmodule Profile do
  defstruct id: nil, name: "Person", avatar: nil
  use Chimera
end

iex> User.new(id: 1234, name: "Person")
%User{id: 1234, name: "Person", email: nil}

iex> user = %User{id: 1234, name: "Person", email: "person@example.com"}
iex> Profile.new(user)
%Profile{id: 1234, name: "Person", avatar: nil}
