Hello,
How can I do pattern matching with maps in function heads? I tried
-module(m1).
-export([main/0]).
main() ->
M = #{a => 1, b => 2, c => 3},
io:format("b: ~p~n", get_attr(b, M)),
io:format("d: ~p~n", get_attr(d, M)).
get_attr(Attr, #{Attr := Val} = Map) ->
Val;
get_attr(_Attr, _M) ->
not_found.
but I get compile error: m1.erl:10: variable 'Attr' is unbound
Thanks in advance,
Martin
