Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a simple process I can use to verify a map only contains valid variables. Consider the following example:
2> Checkmaps = fun(M) ->
2> #{"one" := One, "two" := _Two} = M,
2> One end.
#Fun<erl_eval.6.99386804>
% These crash as expected
5> Checkmaps(#{"test" => one }).
** exception error: no match of right hand side value #{"test" => one}
6> Checkmaps(#{"one" => one }).
** exception error: no match of right hand side value #{"one" => one}
% This works as expected
7> Checkmaps(#{"one" => one, "two" => two }).
one
% This however also runs - I would like it to crash like the first example
8> Checkmaps(#{"one" => one, "two" => two, "three" => test }).
one
The use case here is I'm pulling external data - anything I'm not expecting is not a happy path. Any assistance appreciated.
