Factor out condp and keyed functions into updatable structures

;; I have two primary goals: | |
;; 1.) ...{:foo (fn ...)}... should be defined outside of the | |
;; function-map in a way that allows you to update :foo's (fn ...) | |
;; (perhaps a ref, an atom?) | |
;; 2.) The cases for condp: "fred", "ethel" should live in a structure | |
;; that can be updated as well. For instance, if I want to add "lucy" | |
;; (handle-lucy a b c d) to the condp I'd like to be able to do that | |
;; by using a separate structure to hold all of the cases for the | |
;; condp. The trouble is that placing them in a map or a vector, for | |
;; instance, means the variables a b message and d are not available | |
;; within the context of that structure. | |
;; Summary: Help me refactor this to make :foo and :bar their own | |
;; functions which live in #'function-map that can be updated while | |
;; the program is running. In addition, help me find a way to take | |
;; the cases for the condp and put them into their own updatable | |
;; container. | |
;; Summary 2: If you think what I'm asking for is crazy, take a whack | |
;; at refactoring this however you see fit. | |
;; This is a shortened version of a function-map that I am struggling with refactoring | |
(def function-map | |
{:foo (fn [{:keys [a b message d]}] | |
(let [[command & args] (.split message " ")] | |
(condp = command | |
"fred" (handle-fred a b @d) | |
"ethel" (handle-ethel a b (first args) @d) | |
nil))) | |
:bar (fn [{:keys [a b c]}] | |
(do-something a b c))}) | |
