[erlang-questions] Syntax for accessing a single value of a map

[Bryan Paxton]

 Hi Donald,

This part of the syntax has not been implemented yet. Currently you need
to use maps:get/2 or maps:get/3 (http://erlang.org/doc/man/maps.html#get-2)


Example:

Eshell V10.2.1  (abort with ^G)
1> M = #{foo => bar}.
#{foo => bar}
2> maps:get(foo, M).
bar
3> maps:get(bar, M, undefined).
undefined
4>


Cheers
