Get field names of a struct
Hello,
Is there a way to get the list of fields with only the struct module?
iex> something(Date)
[:calendar, :year, :day, :month]
I tried this, but it doesn’t work if @enforce_keys are defined:
iex(4)> Map.keys(%Date{})
** (ArgumentError) the following keys must also be given when building struct Date: [:year, :month, :day]
(elixir) expanding struct: Date.__struct__/1
iex:4: (file)
At first glance it does not seem that any function is created for this either:

This seems to work:
iex(2)> Date.__struct__() |> Map.keys()
[:__struct__, :calendar, :day, :month, :year]

This seems to work for any struct:
struct(Foo, %{}) |> Map.from_struct() |> Map.keys()
