DIW
I’m trying to take a float, add it to the array of floats in a model instance, and save it back to the database. I only want the array to have a max length of 90. Here is my code for that so far.
def add_price(model, %{"price" => price}) do
current_price = model.price
price_list =
case current_price do
nil -> [price]
90 > length(current_price) -> [current_price | price]
_ ->
prices = List.delete_at(current_price, 0)
[prices | price]
end
model.price = price_list
end
I’ve tried doing this a few ways, but I keep getting the error “Cannot invoke remote function :erlang.length/1 inside match.” How do I go about checking the length?

You cannot run
length/1inside a pattern match. You should move it to a guard:DIW
Thanks! That worked

Why not?

Because only a limited set of functions is callable in a guard, those are called guardsafe functions. This is a limitation of the BEAM to make some optimisations possible.
Basically it is, because the BEAM weren’t allowed to reorder clauses if functions in a guard were allowed to have side effects.
