Can you give some brief example of how such a dynamic pattern matching can work at compile time? Form what I can think of, the following will give you runtime errors without any compile time warnings.
defmodule Env do
def get_env("VAR_1"), do: "..."
def get_env("VAR_2"), do: "..."
end
defmodule SomeModule do
def something() do
Env.get_env("VAR_1") # works
Env.get_env("VAR_2") # works
Env.get_env("VAR_3") # runtime error with no compile time warnings
end
end
vs
defmodule Env do
use Mahaul,
VAR_1: [type: :str],
VAR_2: [type: :num]
end
defmodule SomeModule do
def something() do
Env.var_1() # works
Env.var_2() # works
Env.var_3() # compile time warnings for non-existing method call
end
end
