A map pattern will match any map that has the given keys and values. For example, %{"hello" => world}
will match any map that has the key "hello"
. An empty map therefore matches all maps.
A map pattern will match any map that has all the keys specified in the pattern. The values for the matching keys must also match. For example, %{"hello" => world}
will match any map that has the key "hello"
and assign the value to world
, while %{"hello" => "world"} will match any map that has the key
"hello"with value equals to
"world". An empty map pattern (
%{}`) will match all maps.
