Iodata conveniences
Iodata and chardata can be cheaper than strings to build, but they're often not as nice to work with. Colonel
now provides two conveniences for working with iodata and chardata:
Colonel.Experimental.iodata_inspect/2
does whatKernel.inspect/2
does but returns the result as iodata instead of building one string from it.Colonel.Experimental.sigil_i/2
provides an~i
sigil for building iodata or chardata with a string interpolation syntax.
0.1.0 (2024-05-02)
Named Aliases for Operators
Operators look great inline, but there some cases where named functions work better:
- When piping function calls with
|>
, operators can be a bit strange. You either have to pipe into an anonymous function using the operator, or you have to use the fully-qualified name like|> Kernel.+(1)
. - When creating anonymous functions with the
&
syntax, you can wrap named functions without additional parentheses.
Colonel 0.1.0 introduces to Colonel.Experimental
a number of aliases for common operators:
Colonel.Experimental Function | Operator |
---|---|
add(left, right) | left + right |
and?(left, right) | left && right |
binary_concat(left, right) | left <> right |
divide(left, right) | left / right |
equal?(left, right) | left == right |
greater_than?(left, right) | left > right |
greater_than_or_equal?(left, right) | left >= right |
inequal?(left, right) | left != right |
less_than?(left, right) | left < right |
less_than_or_equal?(left, right) | left <= right |
list_concat(left, right) | left ++ right |
list_subtract(left, right) | left -- right |
multiply(left, right) | left * right |
negative(value) | -value |
not?(value) | !value |
or?(left, right) | left || right |
positive(value) | +value |
strictly_equal?(left, right) | left === right |
strictly_inequal?(left, right) | left !== right |
subtract(left, right) | left - right |
Recursive Anonymous Functions
Anonymous functions can't reference themselves without taking a function as an argument and being called with it. Colonel.Experimental.recursive/1
takes care of that boilerplate to make recursive anonymous functions.
