# Using When Clauses In A With Construct
|
||||
|
||||
Because Elixir's `with` construct supports the full power of the language's
|
||||
pattern matching, we can use `when` clauses to further narrow down our
|
||||
matches.
|
||||
|
||||
For instance, if we want to match against the response to an API request,
|
||||
but only for response status codes in the 2xx range, we can do something
|
||||
like the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
with %{status_code: code, body: body}
|
||||
when code >= 200 && code < 300 <- HTTPoison.get!(url),
|
||||
{:ok, decoded_body} <- Poison.decode(body) do
|
||||
{:ok, decoded_body}
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See the [docs for
|
||||
`with`](https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Kernel.SpecialForms.html#with/1) for more
|
||||
details.
