This is just an Erlang question, but it'd be something like:

{Props} =3D Doc,
case proplists:get_value(created_at, Props) of
    ValueICareAbout ->
        % Do stuff
    _ ->
        ok
end

There are a few examples in the test suites that should give you a
decent look at writing Erlang functions.
