Clojure: Convert hash-maps key strings to keywords?

Question

I\'m pulling data from Redis using Aleph:

(apply hash-map @(@r [:hgetall (key-medication id)]))

The problem is this data comes back with string

Answer 1

There is a handy function called keyword that converts Strings into the appropriate keywords:

(keyword "foo")
=> :foo

So it's just a case of transforming all the keys in your map using this function.

I'd probably use a list comprehension with destructuring to do this, something like:

(into {} 
  (for [[k v] my-map] 
    [(keyword k) v]))
