De/Encoding and mapping

Usage

Create a diff

iex> source = %{"name" => "Bob", "married" => false, "hobbies" => ["Sport", "Elixir", "Football"]}
iex> destination = %{"name" => "Bob", "married" => true, "hobbies" => ["Elixir!"], "age" => 33}
iex> Jsonpatch.diff(source, destination)
{:ok, [
  %Jsonpatch.Operation.Add{path: "/age", value: 33},
  %Jsonpatch.Operation.Replace{path: "/hobbies/0", value: "Elixir!"},
  %Jsonpatch.Operation.Replace{path: "/married", value: true},
  %Jsonpatch.Operation.Remove{path: "/hobbies/1"},
  %Jsonpatch.Operation.Remove{path: "/hobbies/2"}
]}

Encode and decode

Encode a JSON patch struct to JSON string.

iex> Jsonpatch.Coder.decode("{\"op\": \"add\",\"value\": \"1\",\"path\": \"/age\"}")
{:ok, %Jsonpatch.Operation.Add{path: "/age", value: 1}}

Decode a JSON patch struct from a JSON string.

iex> Jsonpatch.Coder.encode(%Jsonpatch.Operation.Add{path: "/age", value: 1})
{:ok, "{\"op\": \"add\",\"value\": \"1\",\"path\": \"/age\"}"}

Apply patches

iex> patch = [
  %Jsonpatch.Operation.Add{path: "/age", value: 33},
  %Jsonpatch.Operation.Replace{path: "/hobbies/0", value: "Elixir!"},
  %Jsonpatch.Operation.Replace{path: "/married", value: true},
  %Jsonpatch.Operation.Remove{path: "/hobbies/1"},
  %Jsonpatch.Operation.Remove{path: "/hobbies/2"}
]
iex> target = %{"name" => "Bob", "married" => false, "hobbies" => ["Sport", "Elixir", "Football"]}
iex> Jsonpatch.apply_patch(patch, target)
%{"name" => "Bob", "married" => true, "hobbies" => ["Elixir!"], "age" => 33}
