Match statement with maps
Match statement can be used to match maps. Patterns on the left hand side in a match statement can have variable parts that can be captured. Useful for working directly with json
. Match semantics are open (may have fields other than those specified in the pattern).
import ballerina/io;
function execute(json j) {
match j {
// A `match` statement can be used to match maps.
// Patterns on the left hand side in a match statement can have variable
// parts that can be captured.
{command: "print", amount: var x} => {
if x is int {
io:println("Int: ", x);
}
}
_ => {
io:println("invalid command");
}
}
}
public function main() {
execute({command: "print", amount: 100, status: "pending"});
execute({command: "print", amount: 10});
execute({command: "subtract", amount: 100});
}
