In the “Defining an update action” section
artist = Tunez.Music.get_artist_by_id!("an-artist-id")
should be:
{:ok, artist} = Tunez.Music.get_artist_by_id!("an-artist-id")
Otherwise the next line will fail with an error about resource ID
Hi there!
In this case, no it shouldn’t - the bang version of a function (ie. get_artist_by_id! vs. get_artist_by_id) will return the object by itself, not as part of an ok or error tuple.
I’ll check and see if we need a note clarifying this…

I would caution against it given that this is basic Elixir. If that warrants an explanation then what about explaining pattern matching and “let it crash” ? Those are the reason why we have bang functions.
This looks like a rabbit hole to me.
