Encoding a nested map?

[dharrigan]

Hi,

I hope you don't mind me reaching out via github issues, but I'm lost as to how to encode a javascript structure (below), into edn (as a vector of vectors, with each inner vector containing a key/map pair):

javascript:

{"foo/bar": {message: "wibble"}}

expected edn:

[[:foo/bar {:message "wibble"]]

Experimenting with your library, I've got close with:

const encoded = toEDNString(
    [[
        {key: "foo/bar"},
        [{key: "message"}, "wibble"]
    ]]
);

to give:

[[:foo/bar: [:message "wibble"}]]]

I've tried a few things, with no joy, even trying this:

const encoded = toEDNString(
    [[
        {key: "foo/bar"},
        toEDNStringFromSimpleObject({message: "wibble"})
    ]]
);

to give:

[[:foo/bar "{:message \"wibble\"}"]]

And finally:

const encoded = toEDNString(
    [[
        {key: "foo/bar"},
        {map: [{key: "message"}, "wibble"]}
    ]]
);

throws an error:

node_modules/edn-data/dist/generate.js:69
            .map(([k, v]) => `${exports.toEDNString(k)} ${exports.toEDNString(v)}`)
                 ^

TypeError: object is not iterable (cannot read property Symbol(Symbol.iterator))

Would you have any suggestions on how this might be done?

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

After some more experimentation, figured it out:

const encoded = toEDNString(
    [[
        {key: "foo/bar"}, {map: [[{key: "message"}, "wibble"]] }
    ]]
);

😃

Hey @dharrigan merry christmas :tada: and great you figured out a way to transform the data structure with edn-data!

It is awesome to see people actually using the library :slightly_smiling_face: Let me know if you run into other issues!

I am closing this for now if that is alright. Otherwise just reopen.
