What about this? First, use :title and :body keywords instead of "title" and "body" strings as keys in form-params. Then define this utility function:
(defn get-seq [m & kws] ((apply juxt kws) m)) which takes a map and one or more keywords (cannot be other types of key) and returns a seq (actually a vector) of the corresponding values, in order; do this (defn new-article [path timestamp title body] (Article. path title body timestamp)) so you can use apply. And then this: (defn save-article [path form-params timestamp] (ds/save! (apply new-article path timestamp (get-seq form-params :title :body)))) is neat and tidy and easily extensible to added form-params later (add them to the end of new-article's arg list and to the get-seq keyword list in the same order; pass them to the amended Article constructor appropriately). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
