Hello, I am trying to figure out how to make the following elegantly in clojure.
I have a hash-map which has some key-value pairs and I would like to append to that hash-map a couple more key-value pairs IF some specific condition is met. For example, the create-map creates the main hash-map but i would like *to merge* the map with the value returned from create-key-value, if the condition inside that function is met. (defn create-key-value [value] (when (some-condition-true) {:extra-key "extra-value")) > (defn create-map [] {:foo "a" :bar "b"}) The final, merged, map should look like this *if* create-key-value returned the :extra-key {:foo "a", :bar "b", :extra-key "extra-value"} ...or if it didn't to return this: > {:foo "a", :bar "b"} I did find a proposed solution on a stackoverflow post<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8992997/initializing-elements-of-a-map-conditionally-in-clojure>, but I am not sure if that's the most elegant way. Thank you for your time. Regards, Ryan -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
