View Source Ash.Query (ash v2.14.18)
Utilities around constructing/manipulating ash queries.
Ash queries are used for read actions and loads, and ultimately map to queries to a resource's data layer.
Queries are run by calling read
on an API that contains the resource in question
Examples:
MyApp.Post
|> Ash.Query.filter(likes > 10)
|> Ash.Query.sort([:title])
|> MyApp.Api.read!()
MyApp.Author
|> Ash.Query.aggregate(:published_post_count, :posts, query: [filter: [published: true]])
|> Ash.Query.sort(published_post_count: :desc)
|> Ash.Query.limit(10)
|> MyApp.Api.read!()
MyApp.Author
|> Ash.Query.load([:post_count, :comment_count])
|> Ash.Query.load(posts: [:comments])
|> MyApp.Api.read!()

Functions
accessing(query, types \\ [:attributes, :relationships, :calculations, :aggregates])
View SourceReturns a list of attributes, aggregates, relationships, and calculations that are being loaded
Provide a list of field types to narrow down the returned results.
@spec after_action( t(), (t(), [Ash.Resource.record()] -> {:ok, [Ash.Resource.record()]} | {:ok, [Ash.Resource.record()], [Ash.Notifier.Notification.t()]} | {:error, term()}) ) :: t()
Adds an aggregation to the query.
Aggregations are made available on the aggregates
field of the records returned
The filter option accepts either a filter or a keyword list of options to supply to build a limiting query for that aggregate. See the DSL docs for each aggregate type in the Resource DSL docs for more information.
Options:
- query: The query over the destination resource to use as a base for aggregation
- default: The default value to use if the aggregate returns nil
- filterable?: Wether or not this aggregate may be referenced in filters
- type: The type of the aggregate
- constraints: Type constraints for the aggregate's type
- implementation: An implementation used when the aggregate kind is custom
- read_action: The read action to use on the destination resource
- authorize?: Wether or not to authorize access to this aggregate
@spec aggregate( t() | Ash.Resource.t(), atom(), Ash.Query.Aggregate.kind(), atom() | [atom()], t() | Keyword.t() | nil ) :: t()
aggregate(query, name, kind, relationship, agg_query, default \\ nil, filterable? \\ true, type \\ nil, constraints \\ [], implementation \\ nil, uniq? \\ false, read_action \\ nil, authorize? \\ true)
View SourceAdds an aggregation to the query.
Aggregations are made available on the aggregates
field of the records returned
The filter option accepts either a filter or a keyword list of options to supply to build a limiting query for that aggregate. See the DSL docs for each aggregate type in the Resource DSL docs for more information.
@spec build(Ash.Resource.t(), Ash.Api.t() | nil, Keyword.t()) :: t()
Builds a query from a keyword list.
This is used by certain query constructs like aggregates. It can also be used to manipulate a data structure before passing it to an ash query. It allows for building an entire query struct using only a keyword list.
For example:
Ash.Query.build(MyResource, filter: [name: "fred"], sort: [name: :asc], load: [:foo, :bar], offset: 10)
If you want to use the expression style filters, you can use expr/1
.
For example:
import Ash.Expr, only: [expr: 1]
Ash.Query.build(Myresource, filter: expr(name == "marge"))
Options
:filter
(term/0
) - A filter keyword, expression or %Ash.Filter{}:sort
(term/0
) - A sort list or keyword:distinct_sort
(term/0
) - A distinct_sort list or keyword:limit
(integer/0
) - A limit to apply:offset
(integer/0
) - An offset to apply:load
(term/0
) - A load statement to add to the query:select
(term/0
) - A select statement to add to the query:ensure_selected
(term/0
) - An ensure_selected statement to add to the query:aggregate
(term/0
) - A custom aggregate to add to the query. Can be{name, type, relationship}
or{name, type, relationship, build_opts}
:calculate
(term/0
) - A custom calculation to add to the query. Can be{name, module_and_opts}
or{name, module_and_opts, context}
:distinct
(list ofatom/0
) - A distinct clause to add to the query:context
(map/0
) - A map to merge into the query context
calculate(query, name, module_and_opts, type, context \\ %{}, constraints \\ [])
View SourceAdds a calculation to the query.
Calculations are made available on the calculations
field of the records returned
The module_and_opts
argument accepts either a module
or a {module, opts}
. For more information
on what that module should look like, see Ash.Calculation
.
Removes a result set previously with set_result/2
Return the underlying data layer query for an ash query
Remove an argument from the query
Ensure the the specified attributes are nil
in the query results.
@spec distinct(t() | Ash.Resource.t(), Ash.Sort.t()) :: t()
Get results distinct on the provided fields.
Takes a list of fields to distinct on. Each call is additive, so to remove the distinct
use
unset/2
.
Examples:
Ash.Query.distinct(query, [:first_name, :last_name])
Ash.Query.distinct(query, :email)
Set a sort to determine how distinct records are selected.
If none is set, any sort applied to the query will be used.
This is useful if you want to control how the distinct
records
are selected without affecting (necessarily, it may affect it if
there is no sort applied) the overall sort of the query
Ensures that the given attributes are selected.
The first call to select/2
will limit the fields to only the provided fields.
Use ensure_selected/2
to say "select this field (or these fields) without deselecting anything else".
See select/2
for more.
Determines if the filter statement of a query is equivalent to the provided expression.
This uses the satisfiability solver that is used when solving for policy authorizations. In complex scenarios, or when using
custom database expressions, (like fragments in ash_postgres), this function may return :maybe
. Use supserset_of?
to always return
a boolean.
Same as equivalent_to/2
but always returns a boolean. :maybe
returns false
.
Creates an Ash expression for evaluation later.
fetches the value of an argument provided to the query or :error
Attach a filter statement to the query.
The filter is applied as an "and" to any filters currently on the query.
For more information on writing filters, see: Ash.Filter
.
Attach a filter statement to the query labelled as user input.
Filters added as user input (or filters constructed with Ash.Filter.parse_input
)
will honor any field policies on resources by replacing any references to the field
with nil
in cases where the actor should not be able to see the given field.
This function does not expect the expression style filter (because an external source could never reasonably provide that). Instead, use the keyword/map style syntax. For example:
expr(name == "fred")
could be any of
- map syntax:
%{"name" => %{"eq" => "fred"}}
- keyword syntax:
[name: [eq: "fred"]]
See Ash.Filter
for more.
Creates a query for a given read action and prepares it.
Multitenancy is not validated until an action is called. This allows you to avoid specifying a tenant until just before calling the api action.
Arguments
Provide a map or keyword list of arguments for the read action
Opts
:actor
(term/0
) - set the actor, which can be used in anyAsh.Resource.Change
s configured on the action. (in thecontext
argument):authorize?
(boolean/0
) - set authorize?, which can be used in anyAsh.Resource.Change
s configured on the action. (in thecontext
argument):tracer
- A tracer to use. Will be carried over to the action. For more information seeAsh.Tracer
.:tenant
(term/0
) - set the tenant on the query
Gets the value of an argument provided to the query
Returns true if the value is one of the expression structs.
@spec limit(t() | Ash.Resource.t(), nil | integer()) :: t()
Limit the results returned from the query
@spec load( t() | Ash.Resource.t(), atom() | Ash.Query.Calculation.t() | [atom() | Ash.Query.Calculation.t()] | [{atom() | Ash.Query.Calculation.t(), term()}] ) :: t()
Loads relationships, calculations, or aggregates on the resource.
Currently, loading attributes has no effects, as all attributes are returned.
Before long, we will have the default list to load as the attributes, but if you say
load(query, [:attribute1])
, that will be the only field filled in. This will let
data layers make more intelligent "select" statements as well.
# Loading nested relationships
Ash.Query.load(query, [comments: [:author, :ratings]])
# Loading relationships with a query
Ash.Query.load(query, [comments: [author: author_query]])
load_calculation_as(query, calc_name, as_name, opts_or_args \\ %{}, opts \\ [])
View SourceAdds a resource calculation to the query as a custom calculation with the provided name.
Example:
Ash.Query.load_calculation_as(query, :calculation, :some_name, args: %{}, load_through: [:foo])
Adds a load statement to the result of an attribute or calculation.
Uses Ash.Type.load/5
to request that the type load nested data.
Returns true if the field/relationship or path to field/relationship is being loaded.
It accepts an atom or a list of atoms, which is treated for as a "path", i.e:
Resource |> Ash.Query.load(friends: [enemies: [:score]]) |> Ash.Query.loading?([:friends, :enemies, :score])
iex> true
Resource |> Ash.Query.load(friends: [enemies: [:score]]) |> Ash.Query.loading?([:friends, :score])
iex> false
Resource |> Ash.Query.load(friends: [enemies: [:score]]) |> Ash.Query.loading?(:friends)
iex> true
@spec lock(t() | Ash.Resource.t(), Ash.DataLayer.lock_type()) :: t()
Lock the query results.
This must be run while in a transaction, and is not supported by all data layers.
Create a new query
@spec offset(t() | Ash.Resource.t(), nil | integer()) :: t()
Skip the first n records
@spec put_context(t() | Ash.Resource.t(), atom(), term()) :: t()
Sets a specific context key to a specific value
See set_context/2
for more information.
Ensure that only the specified attributes are present in the results.
The first call to select/2
will replace the default behavior of selecting
all attributes. Subsequent calls to select/2
will combine the provided
fields unless the replace?
option is provided with a value of true
.
If a field has been deselected, selecting it again will override that (because a single list of fields is tracked for selection)
Primary key attributes are always selected and cannot be deselected.
When attempting to load a relationship (or manage it with Ash.Changeset.manage_relationship/3
),
if the source field is not selected on the query/provided data an error will be produced. If loading
a relationship with a query, an error is produced if the query does not select the destination field
of the relationship.
Use ensure_selected/2
if you wish to make sure a field has been selected, without deselecting any other fields.
Set the query's api, and any loaded query's api
Add an argument to the query, which can be used in filter templates on actions
Merge a map of arguments to the arguments list
@spec set_context(t() | Ash.Resource.t(), map() | nil) :: t()
Merge a map of values into the query context
Set the result of the action. This will prevent running the underlying datalayer behavior
@spec set_tenant(t() | Ash.Resource.t(), String.t()) :: t()
@spec sort(t() | Ash.Resource.t(), Ash.Sort.t(), opts :: Keyword.t()) :: t()
Sort the results based on attributes, aggregates or calculations.
Calculations are supported if they are defined with expressions, which can be done one of two ways.
- with the shorthand
calculate :calc, :type, expr(a + b)
- By defining
expression/2
in a custom calculation module
See the guide on calculations for more.
Takes a list of fields to sort on, or a keyword list/mixed keyword list of fields and sort directions.
The default sort direction is :asc
.
Examples:
Ash.Query.sort(query, [:foo, :bar])
Ash.Query.sort(query, [:foo, bar: :desc])
Ash.Query.sort(query, [foo: :desc, bar: :asc])
Options
prepend?
- set totrue
to put your sort at the front of the list of a sort is already specified
Determines if the provided expression would return data that is a suprset of the data returned by the filter on the query.
This uses the satisfiability solver that is used when solving for policy authorizations. In complex scenarios, or when using
custom database expressions, (like fragments in ash_postgres), this function may return :maybe
. Use subset_of?
to always return
a boolean.
Same as subset_of/2
but always returns a boolean. :maybe
returns false
.
