I have a nested map as such:
%{product: %{category: "45", code: nil}, date: "2021-04-01"}
I am trying to remove all items that do have an empty value.
I have tried it as follows:
def removeEmpty(%{} = map) do
Enum.into(
Enum.reject(map, fn {_k, v} ->
if is_map(v) do
removeEmpty(v)
end
is_nil(v)
end),
%{}
)
end
Alas my unit test fails because the result still has the empty value in it:
Assertion with == failed
code: assert result == %{product: %{category: "45"}, date: "2021-04-01"}
left: %{date: "2021-04-01", product: %{category: "45", code: nil}}
right: %{date: "2021-04-01", product: %{category: "45"}}
stacktrace:
test/map_helper_test.exs:23: (test)
It works for single level maps, but I need help on making this work for multi-level maps.

One issue is that here the result of
removeEmpty(v)is discarded. Data is immutable in Elixir, so that call would return a new value, not mutate the valuev. But you don’t capture the new value, so it is lost.You might try something like this instead at the simplest:

You have to write it as a transformation. If you use only a filter, it will of course doesn’t change the value if it’s a map.
