[erlang-questions] Callbacks with record name == module name

[Zoltan Lajos Kis]

You could abstract away the parts where you are getting into the guts.

foo(Id) ->
  {ok, V} = myapp_get_by_id(Id),
  Class = class_of(V),
  Class:foo(V).

class_of(V) ->
  element(1,V).

You can also give parametrized modules a try. It has a more OO L&F.

foo(Id) ->
  Obj = get_obj_by_id(Id),
  Obj:foo().

get_obj_by_id(Id) ->
  {ok, V} = myapp_get_by_id(Id),
  Class = class_of(V),
  Class:new(V).
