Anonymous functions in pipe chain

Aug 31, 2016

Insert anonymous functions into your pipe chains by defining and applying the function like so:

  def md5(str) do
    str
    |> (fn(s) -> :erlang.md5(s) end).()
    |> Base.encode16(case: :lower)
  end

Alternatively:

  def md5(str) do
    str
    |> (&(:erlang.md5(&1))).()
    |> Base.encode16(case: :lower)
  end
