Elixir - increment a field value in Ecto map

I am getting two maps to a function.

Map1 is a list of maps

Map2 is a single map

I have to Enum.each this Map1 and marge with Map2(Which is static) and then insert in to database

This is working fine for me

Map example before inserting in to Database

%{
  api_id: 1,
  category_id: 2,
  content_url: "SeC9UPNoND8",
  sub_category_id: 1
}
%{
  api_id: 1,
  category_id: 2,
  content_url: "4wb8AYt3ECM",
  sub_category_id: 1
}
%{
  api_id: 1,
  category_id: 2,
  content_url: "2TSdkYkapo8",
  sub_category_id: 1
}
  def store_in_db(Map1, Map2) do
    
    Enum.each(Map1, fn(data) -> 
      Map.merge(data, Map2)
        |> Contents.create_content
      end)

  end

But now i got one new field to be added which is an just an increment $i++. which must be stored in priority field. For example in Map1 list i have got 3 maps. So i need below output

%{
  api_id: 1,
  category_id: 2,
  content_url: "SeC9UPNoND8",
  priority: 1,
  sub_category_id: 1
}
%{
  api_id: 1,
  category_id: 2,
  content_url: "4wb8AYt3ECM",
  priority: 2,
  sub_category_id: 1
}
%{
  api_id: 1,
  category_id: 2,
  content_url: "2TSdkYkapo8",
  priority: 3,
  sub_category_id: 1
}

I have done this

  def store_in_db(Map1, Map2) do
    
    Enum.each(Map1, fn(data) -> 
      Map.merge(data, Map2)
        |> Map.merge(%{priority: 1})
        |> Contents.create_content
      end)

  end

In that i want to increment priority value. Can someone give me insight on how to achieve this

Not tested, but something like this…

BTW Did You name your variables from Erlang? It’s usual to start with lowercase in Elixir.

  def store_in_db(m1, m2) do
    m1
    |> Enum.with_index()
    |> Enum.each(fn({data, index}) -> 
      Map.merge(data, m2)
        |> Map.merge(%{priority: index})
        |> Contents.create_content
      end)
  end

You could also specify the offset as a parameter…

|> Enum.with_index(1)
