Enum.flat_map

You're seeing just the function flat_map, go back to Enum module for more information.

flat_map(enumerable, fun)

Specs

flat_map(t(), (element() -> t())) :: list()

Maps the given fun over enumerable and flattens the result.

This function returns a new enumerable built by appending the result of invoking fun on each element of enumerable together; conceptually, this is similar to a combination of map/2 and concat/1.

Examples

iex> Enum.flat_map([:a, :b, :c], fn x -> [x, x] end)
[:a, :a, :b, :b, :c, :c]

iex> Enum.flat_map([{1, 3}, {4, 6}], fn {x, y} -> x..y end)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

iex> Enum.flat_map([:a, :b, :c], fn x -> [[x]] end)
[[:a], [:b], [:c]]
