Hello guys, can you please help turn this map into a pure map. Some of the members of the map are still structs. %{ callback_query: nil, channel_post: nil, chosen_inline_result: nil, edited_message: nil, inline_query: nil, message: %Nadia.Model.Message{ audio: nil, caption: nil,…

Here is example working code: # First of all minimal definition in order to make code compillable defmodule Nadia.Model.Chat do defstruct [:first_name, :id, :last_name, :photo, :title, :type, :username] end defmodule Nadia.Model.User do defstruct [:first_name, :id, :last_name, :username] end …

Hello, Welcome to the forum This may help you from_struct(struct) View Source from_struct( atom () | struct ()) :: map () Converts a struct to map. It accepts the struct module or a struct itself and simply removes the __struct__ field from the given struct or from a new struct generated from t…

I actually did that for the outer map. It was a struct, however that function does not turn inner struct into maps…

You need to implement the nesting on your own. But that is a lot more expensive, as it needs to reconstruct the maps from scratch

Wouldn’t s/he be able to use variable_with_struct |> Enum.each |> Map.from_struct Like this? Enum — Elixir v1.20.2 Also if i am mistaken please correct me(still learning to think in elixir and the language)

No, Enum.each/2 returns :ok. Also you need to decide for each key in the map/struct if you want to convert it or not.

:waving_hand: Why do you want to convert these structs to maps? Maybe there’s an easier way to accomplish what you want … Personally, I don’t remember having problems with :nadia’s structs.

The simplest solution that I found is using Poison. struct = %{ callback_query: nil, channel_post: nil, chosen_inline_result: nil, edited_message: nil, inline_query: nil, message: %Nadia.Model.Message{ audio: nil, caption: nil, channel_chat_created: nil, chat: %Nadia.Mod…

Here is another take on the topic defmodule MapFromDeepStruct do def from_deep_struct(%{} = map), do: convert(map) defp convert(data) when is_struct(data) do data |> Map.from_struct() |> convert() end defp convert(data) when is_map(data) do for {key, value} <- data, reduce: %{} do…
