hello everyone, I making practice on assoc functions so I wanted to create a sample database just using assoc functions to do the practice.

I checked it's quick docs but there is no explanation about how can I create a vector and put data into it. I left an example on top, my question is how can I create db-sample data by using assoc functions? (or maybe easier better options)

CodePudding user response：

In practice if you wanted to simulate a db it would first have to be an atom so you can update in place. And your "adding a person" would be something like:

(def db-sample (atom {:person [] :employees/developer-team []})

(swap! db-sample update :person #(conj % new-person))

Things can get tricky when your database is too nested - there are libraries for this such as specter. But keeping databases relatively flat is also good practice IMHO.
