TaggedTuple
A library to work with tagged tuples.
Provides functions to work with chains of tags for nested tuples.
Some of the supported operations are: add/remove tag chain to a core value, converting a tuple to list or to map and back. The latter one is useful for converting tuples to/from JSON representation.
iex> use TaggedTuple
...> core_value = 12
...> :tag --- core_value
{:tag, 12}
...> tagged_tuple = :a --- :tag --- :chain --- core_value
{:a, {:tag, {:chain, 12}}}
...> match?(:a --- :tag --- _tail, tagged_tuple)
true
iex> {chain, value} = TaggedTuple.split({:a, {:tag, {:chain, 2}}})
...> chain == {:a, {:tag, :chain}}
...> value == 2
iex> TaggedTuple.tag(2, {:a, {:tag, :chain}})
{:a, {:tag, {:chain, 2}}}
iex> TaggedTuple.to_map({:a, {:tag, {:chain, 2}}})
%{a: %{tag: %{chain: 2}}}
iex> TaggedTuple.from_map(%{a: %{tag: %{chain: 2}}})
{:a, {:tag, {:chain, 2}}}

Super great work, man. I like the tagged_tuple library a lot, already used it in a small hobby project as a test!
One thing that might be worth mentioning: would you consider making the custom syntax (the 3 dashes: ---) optional and injectable through use or a configuration setting? Not critical but I’d like to be able to not inject a custom Elixir syntax in my projects.

Sure. tagged_tuple is to operate with sum types. Which are one of the ways to making impossible states impossible in the app. Here is a good article about these Better domain modeling in Elixir with sum types
Here is an example of ShipmentWeight sum type that can be persisted with Ecto.
And this is generic Domo/tagged_tuple_ecto_type.ex at master · IvanRublev/Domo · GitHub to do so for any tagged tuple.

Well, you can just do not use use TaggedTuple and instead just require TaggedTuple.

Is it possible to see a snippet demonstrating where TaggedTuple can typically be useful?
