defmodule Access do
@moduledoc """
Key-based access to data structures via the `foo[bar]` syntax.
Elixir provides two syntaxes for accessing values. `user[:name]`
is used by dynamic structures, like maps and keywords, while
`user.name` is used by structs. The main difference is that
`user[:name]` won't raise if the key `:name` is missing but
`user.name` will raise if there is no `:name` key.
## Key-based lookups
Out of the box, Access works with `Keyword` and `Map`:
iex> keywords = [a: 1, b: 2]
iex> keywords[:a]
1
iex> map = %{a: 1, b: 2}
iex> map[:a]
1
iex> star_ratings = %{1.0 => "★", 1.5 => "★☆", 2.0 => "★★"}
iex> star_ratings[1.5]
"★☆"
Access can be combined with `Kernel.put_in/3` to put a value
in a given key:
iex> map = %{a: 1, b: 2}
iex> put_in map[:a], 3
%{a: 3, b: 2}
This syntax is very convenient as it can be nested arbitrarily:
iex> users = %{"john" => %{age: 27}, "meg" => %{age: 23}}
iex> put_in users["john"][:age], 28
%{"john" => %{age: 28}, "meg" => %{age: 23}}
Furthermore, Access transparently ignores `nil` values:
iex> keywords = [a: 1, b: 2]
iex> keywords[:c][:unknown]
nil
Since Access is a behaviour, it can be implemented to key-value
data structures. Access requires the key comparison to be
implemented using the `===` operator.
## Field-based lookups
The Access syntax (`foo[bar]`) cannot be used to access fields in
structs. That's by design, as Access is meant to be used for
dynamic key-value structures, like maps and keywords, and not
by static ones like structs.
However Elixir already provides a field-based lookup for structs.
Imagine a struct named `User` with name and age fields. The
following would raise:
user = %User{name: "john"}
user[:name]
** (UndefinedFunctionError) undefined function User.fetch/2
(User does not implement the Access behaviour)
Structs instead use the `user.name` syntax:
user.name
#=> "john"
The same `user.name` syntax can also be used by `Kernel.put_in/2`
to for updating structs fields:
put_in user.name, "mary"
%User{name: "mary"}
Differently from `user[:name]`, `user.name` cannot be extended by
the developers, and will be always restricted to only maps and
structs.
Summing up:
* `user[:name]` is used by dynamic structures, is extensible and
does not raise on missing keys
* `user.name` is used by static structures, it is not extensible
and it will raise on missing keys

Gets and updates the container's value for the given key, in a single pass.
The argument function `fun` must receive the value for the given `key` (or
`nil` if the key doesn't exist in `container`). It must return a tuple
containing the `get` value and the new value to be stored in the `container`.
This function returns a two-element tuple.
The first element is the `get` value, as returned by `fun`.
The second element is the container, updated with the value returned by `fun`.
