How to approach editing in layered approach from "Designing Elixir Systems with OTP"?

Throughout the book, the examples deal mostly with creating data. When the quiz runs, it always persists new answers.

Let’s say I want to add UI for creating quizzes, and it has ability to edit templates for the quiz. How would you design the core API for that function? I came up with something like this:

def edit_template(quiz, template, fields_to_update)

It is a little bit awkward to test, though. Because I need to get the template from a sequence of pipes like this:

quiz =
  Quiz.new
  |> Quiz.add_template(template_fields)

template = Quiz.get_template_by_name(name)

quiz =
  Quiz.edit_template(quiz, template, template_fields)

Is there a clearly better aproach? Or maybe dealing with mutable/nested data always will be a little awkward.

First Post!
