MultiDef—Define a function with multiple heads
Add the dependency {:multidef, "> 0.0.0"}
to mix.exs.
Use it like this:
defmodule Test do
import MultiDef
mdef fib do
0 -> 0
1 -> 1
n -> fib(n-1) + fib(n-1)
end
end
IO.puts Test.fib(20)
When clauses can be used:
defmodule Test do
import MultiDef
mdef fib do
0 -> 0
1 -> 1
n when n > 0 -> fib(n-1) + fib(n-1)
end
end
IO.puts Test.fib(20)
Does not support default arguments.
Does not enforce that all heads have the same arity (deliberately).
