Synex

Collection of Elixir syntactic sugars.

keys/1

Something like ES6 property shorthand, or Clojure's destructuring. It expands keywords, maps and structs, and supports variable pinning and map update syntax.

For examples look at Synex.Keys.keys/1.

params/1

Like keys/1 but only for maps and uses string keys instead of atoms. params/1 also expands nested maps.

iex> params(%{a => %{b, c}}) = %{"a" => %{"b" => 2, "c" => 3}}
iex> {b, c}
{2, 3}
iex> a
%{"b" => 2, "c" => 3}

For more examples look at Synex.Params.params/1.
