I’m trying to build a loop in an EEx template that may have to iterate over a list OR a map (i.e. loop over its keys/values) and include an index (yes, I know that’s a lot).
So far, my EEx template looks like this:
The start...
<%= Enum.with_index(list)
|> Enum.map(fn {x, index} ->
case x do
{k, v} -> %>
<%= k %> <%= v %>: @index: <%= index %>
<% x -> %>
<%= x %>: @index: <%= index %>
<% end %>
<% end) %>
...The end.
But that results in an error:
** (TokenMissingError) nofile:12: missing terminator: end (for "fn" starting at line 3)
lib/eex/compiler.ex:101: EEx.Compiler.generate_buffer/4
lib/eex/compiler.ex:54: EEx.Compiler.generate_buffer/4
lib/eex.ex:199: EEx.eval_string/3
my_file.exs:37: (file)
A simpler EEx template works:
The start...
<%= Enum.with_index(list)
|> Enum.map(fn {x, index} -> %>
<%= x %>: @index: <%= index %>
<% end) %>
...The end.
but that one only handles lists. I think I’m getting stuck on where exactly I’m allowed to break in and out of Elixir code within an EEx template. The basic logic works when it’s not in EEx.
Thanks for any pointers!

Hello, I’d try to simplify it by moving the function to the view module, using string interpolation, i.e. (disclaimer: untested code ahead..)
or with two functions using pattern matching on arguments (that I prefer as I find it easier to read):
then in the template you could just:
hth.
kokolegorille
I would even go further and put all logic in a helper function. Putting logic in the template is not something I would advise.
Somehing like
patrickdm
yes, good advice!
[..edit..] Putting all together would look like:
in template.html.eex
in template_view.ex
