Is there a simple way in specter to collect all the structure satisfying a predicate ?
(./pull '[com.rpl/specter "1.0.0"])
(use 'com.rpl.specter)
(def data {:items [{:name "Washing machine"
:subparts [{:name "Ballast" :weight 1}
{:name "Hull" :weight 2}]}]})
(reduce + (select [(walker :weight) :weight] data))
;=> 3
(select [(walker :name) :name] data)
;=> ["Washing machine"]
How can we get all the value for :name, including ["Ballast" "Hull"] ?
Here's one way, using recursive-path and stay-then-continue to do the real work. (If you omit the final :name from the path argument to select, you'll get the full “item / part maps” rather than just the :name strings.)
(def data
{:items [{:name "Washing machine"
:subparts [{:name "Ballast" :weight 1}
{:name "Hull" :weight 2}]}]})
(specter/select
[(specter/recursive-path [] p
[(specter/walker :name) (specter/stay-then-continue [:subparts p])])
:name]
data)
;= ["Washing machine" "Ballast" "Hull"]
Update: In answer to the comment below, here's a version of the above the descends into arbitrary branches of the tree, as opposed to only descending into the :subparts branch of any given node, excluding :name (which is the key whose values in the tree we want to extract and should not itself be viewed as a branching off point):
(specter/select
[(specter/recursive-path [] p
[(specter/walker :name)
(specter/stay-then-continue
[(specter/filterer #(not= :name (key %)))
(specter/walker :name)
p])])
:name]
;; adding the key `:subparts` with the value [{:name "Foo"}]
;; to the "Washing machine" map to exercise the new descent strategy
(assoc-in data [:items 0 :subparts2] [{:name "Foo"}]))
;= ["Washing machine" "Ballast" "Hull" "Foo"]
The selected? selector can be used to collect structures for which another selector matches something within the structure
From the examples at https://github.com/nathanmarz/specter/wiki/List-of-Navigators#selected
=> (select [ALL (selected? [(must :a) even?])] [{:a 0} {:a 1} {:a 2} {:a 3}])
[{:a 0} {:a 2}]
I think you could iterate on map recursively using clojure.walk package. On each step, you may check the current value for a predicate and push it into an atom to collect the result.
