Anonymous functions with Spark DSL?
Hi All.
This isn’t really an Ash question but more a Spark question so I hope it is ok posting here.
I’m writing, yet another, admin type library. The library uses a map to describe various entities like input fields or columns in a table (index view). Below is a simplified example
def table() do
%{
columns: [
%{
name: :first_name,
icon: %{
name: "hero-envelope",
position: :after,
colour: [&get_icon_colour/1, [:record, :some_other_arg]]
}
},
%{
name: :last_name,
icon: [&get_icon/1, [:record]],
colour: "yellow"
},
%{
name: :age,
icon: "age-icon"
}
]
}
end
The nice thing about the above approach is that I can define a key value as a string or a map or even a function (see above for the definition of icon for the three columns).
However, I really like the Spark DSL approach but before I dive into Spark, is the above possible. I was thinking of something like:
columns do
column :first_name do
icon do
name "hero-envelope"
position :after
colour do
function(&get_icon/1)
args [:record, :some_other_arg]
end
end
end
column :last_name do
icon do
function &get_icon/1
args [:record]
end
colour "yellow"
end
column age do
icon "age-icon"
end
end
cheers
