Introducing Traversal in Funx for Enhanced Domain Logic
This article introduces the concept of Traversal within the Funx library for Elixir, illustrating its necessity when managing multiple foci in transaction systems. The author explains how traditional methods may fall short in handling domain logic for various payment types (credit card, check) and how Traversals offer a more elegant solution by allowing extraction and sharing of validation logic. Through examples, Koski illustrates how Traversals can replace cumbersome patterns in function heads, leading to cleaner, reusable, and more maintainable code, ultimately demonstrating the benefits of functional programming paradigms in transactional contexts.
