I'm confused by what you're saying here - these are examples of passing a map, not of passing varargs.
If you want to pass a map, you'll need a set up like: (defmulti test-html :language) ;; :language here is a keyword being used as a function of one arg (the map) (defmethod test-html :html [the-map] (str (:data the-map) " will be transformed into html")) (defmethod test-html :java-fx [the-map] (str (:data the-map) " will be transformed into javafx")) Invoked like: (test-html {:language :html :data "hello"}) On Wednesday, January 11, 2017 at 4:56:47 PM UTC-6, david swift wrote: > > Just lastly, I've seen people use the following structure of data > (def test-html {:language ::html :data "hello"}) > and passing it as an argument to the mutlimethod, though not sure if it > would or could apply to my case but when I use it simply returns nil under > this condition > (transform test-html) > > But I can do the following and produce a correct output, again not sure if > it's to do my approach or not, or even if varargs doesn't allow it… > (transform {:language :html} "hello") > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
