Comprehension Product Search

You're going to create a Products module that mimics searching a list of products.

Products.all_items/0

Create a Products.all_items/0 function that uses comprehensions to generate variations of items.

items should be a map with the following fields:

  • name: a string of either "computer", "phone" or "tablet"
  • price: A random integer between 1 and 100.

Using these values above, all_items/0 should generate 300 unique items.

[
  %{name: "computer", price: 1},
  %{name: "computer", price: 2},
  %{name: "computer", price: 3}
  ...
] = Products.all_items()

Products.search/2

Given a list of items and a keyword list of filters, use comprehensions to filter the list of items that match the given filters.

  • min: The product price must be greater than or equal to this value.
  • max: The product must be less than or equal to this value.
  • name: The product name must be equal to this value.
all_items = Products.all_items()

[
  %{name: "computer", price: 10},
  %{name: "computer", price: 11},
  %{name: "computer", price: 12},
  %{name: "computer", price: 13},
  %{name: "computer", price: 14},
  %{name: "computer", price: 15},
] = Products.search(all_items, [min: 10, max: 15, name: "computer"])

If a filter is not provided, then do not filter based on that value.

[
  %{name: "computer", price: 10},
  %{name: "phone", price: 10},
  %{name: "tablet", price: 10},
] = Products.search(all_items, [min: 10, max: 10])
Solution Example
defmodule Products do
  def all_items do
    for name <- ["computer", "phone", "tablet"], price <- 1..100 do
      %{name: name, price: price}
    end
  end

  def search(items, filters) do
    name = Keyword.get(filters, :name)
    min = Keyword.get(filters, :min)
    max = Keyword.get(filters, :max)

    for item <- items,
        !name || item.name == name,
        !max || item.price <= max,
        !min || min <= item.price do
      item
    end
  end
end
defmodule Products do
  def all_items do
  end

  def search(items, filters) do
  end
end
