I have defined these types of records for modelling a simple shopping cart:
; An item in the cart (defrecord Item [id name product quantity purchased]) ; The product that relates to the item in the cart (defrecord Product [id name description prices]) ; A price definition (defrecord Price [price tax-rate currency]) ; Sample items (def items [ (->Item 1 "Brogues" "P-123" 1 true) (->Item 2 "Underpants" "P-345" 1 false) (->Item 3 "Shirt" "P-678" 1 true) ]) ; Sample products (def products [ (->Product "P-123" "Brogues" "Men's Leather Slip on Brogues" (->Price 93.00 21 "EURO")) (->Product "P-345" "Underpants" "CK Y Fronts" (->Price 23.50 21 "EURO")) (->Product "P-678" "Shirt" "Slim Fit White Vest Shirt" (->Price 45.99 21 "EURO")) (->Product "P-1231" "Table" "Coffee Table" (->Price 375 21 "EURO")) (->Product "P-3451" "Chairs" "Set of Four(4) chairs" (->Price 200 21 "EURO")) (->Product "P-6781" "TableCloth" "Classic red and white checks 2m x 2m" (->Price 17.99 21 "EURO")) ]) My requirement is to combine data from the two collections such that I can show the detailed product information for any item, for example: (->Item 3 "Shirt" "Slim Fit White Vest Shirt" (->Price 45.99 21 "EURO") 1 true) When I tried to use merge-with union I had an error which surprised me since I thought records are also maps: user=> (merge-with union items products) ClassCastException user.Product cannot be cast to java.util.Map$Entry clojure.core/key (core.clj:1465) Although I will fight on, any tips from any of you that have done this before would be greatly helped.
