Hi, Ivan.
(defn set-item-name [data id newname]
(mapv #(if (not= (:id %) id) ; <- NB mapv keeps it a vector
% ; no-op
(assoc % :name newname))
data))
(dosync (commute items set-item-name 1 "foo"))
This really only makes sense if :id is *not* actually a primary key in your
data,
If, however, :id *is* a primary key, and most of the operations on the data
are only updating one element, you will want to follow Gary's advice and
change your data to
{1 {:id 1 :name ...}
2 {:id 2 :name ...}
...}
I would also like to validate your feeling that this shouldn't be a
one-liner; you can generalize 'set-item-name', and then if you do want to
change the data structure later, you only have to change the general
function.
