Cannot invoke remote function Access.get/2 inside guards
I have this form
<%= form_for @conn, Routes.admin_products_path(@conn, :create_product), [as: :create_product, id: "product-form", class: "mt-5 mb-5 login-input", method: :post, multipart: :true], fn f -> %>
<div class="form-group">
<%= text_input f, :name, placeholder: "Name", class: "form-control" %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= text_input f, :description, placeholder: "Description", class: "form-control" %>
</div>
<h4 class="card-title">Image Upload</h4>
<div class="form-group">
<%= file_input f, :image_files, name: "create_product[images][]", multiple: true, class: "form-control", placeholder: "Upload Image" %>
</div>
<h4 class="card-title">Video Upload</h4>
<div class="form-group">
<%= file_input f, :video_files, name: "create_product[videos][]", multiple: true, class: "form-control", placeholder: "Upload Image" %>
</div>
<br/><br/>
<input type="submit" value="Save" class="btn btn-dark mb-2" />
<% end %>
I have this three function to filter and process through Guard
def create_product(conn, %{"create_product" => product_params}) when is_list(product_params["images"]) == true and is_list(product_params["videos"]) == true do
def create_product(conn, %{"create_product" => product_params}) when is_list(product_params["images"]) == true and is_list(product_params["videos"]) == false do
def create_product(conn, %{"create_product" => product_params}) when is_list(product_params["images"]) == false and is_list(product_params["videos"]) == true do
Below is my inspect output
%{
"description" => "sdfdf",
"images" => [
[
%Plug.Upload{
content_type: "image/jpeg",
filename: "deuteronomy-2223-eggstransvestite-transvestism-cross-dressing-cult-prostitutes-lost-and-found-35-638.jpg",
path: "/tmp/plug-1586/multipart-1586529347-447222130427589-1"
}
]
],
"name" => "Sony"
}
I can see this error is due to accessing product_params["images"].
Can anyone give me insight on how to solve this? Or is there any better way to filter this. Your help is greatly appreciated

Hi @david234, you need to write it like this:
def create_product(conn, %{"create_product" => %{"images" => images, "videos" => videos} = product_params)
when is_list(images) and not is_list(videos) do
Basically, you need to pattern match out the values you want to use in the guards. Do note that the clause won’t match at all unless the product params include BOTH images and videos. If you need to handle them not being present at all, I’d consider doing this just inside the function body.

Without know what you’re doing in the function body it’s hard to say. Personally I’d probably do something more like:
def create_product(conn, %{"create_product" => product_params}) do
images = product_params["images"] || []
videos = product_params["videos"] || []
But again, it depends on what you’re doing. If each of those clauses is a wildly different flow then go ahead with the pattern you have. If you’re just using it to normalize the data or something then I think that can be accomplished more succinctly by working with the parameters more individually.
