Runs an aggregate or aggregates over a resource query

If you pass an %Ash.Query.Aggregate{}, gotten from Ash.Query.Aggregate.new(), the query provided as the first argument to this function will not apply. For this reason, it is preferred that you pass in the tuple format, i.e

Prefer this: Api.aggregate(query, {:count_of_things, :count})

Over this: Api.aggregate(query, Ash.Query.Aggregate.new(...))

  • :domain (Ash.Domain) - The domain to use.

  • :timeout (timeout/0) - A positive integer, or :infinity. If none is provided, the timeout configured on the domain is used (which defaults to 30_000).

  • :tracer (one or a list of module that adopts Ash.Tracer) - A tracer that implements the Ash.Tracer behaviour. See that module for more.

  • :action (term/0) - The action to use, either an Action struct or the name of the action

  • :authorize? - If an actor option is provided (even if it is nil), authorization happens automatically. If not, this flag can be used to authorize with no user. Valid values are true, false, nil

  • :context (map/0) - Context to set on the query, changeset, or input

  • :tenant (value that implements the Ash.ToTenant protocol) - A tenant to set on the query or changeset

  • :actor (term/0) - If an actor is provided, it will be used in conjunction with the authorizers of a resource to authorize access

      | {:error, Ash.Changeset.t() | Ash.Error.t()}
      | {:notification, Ash.Notifier.Notification.t()}
    )

Creates many records.

Assumptions

We assume that the input is a list of changesets all for the same action, or a list of input maps for the same action with the :resource and :action option provided to illustrate which action it is for.

Performance/Feasibility

The performance of this operation depends on the data layer in question. Data layers like AshPostgres will choose reasonable batch sizes in an attempt to handle large bulk actions, but that does not mean that you can pass a list of 500k inputs and expect things to go off without a hitch (although it might). If you need to do large data processing, you should look into projects like GenStage and Broadway. With that said, if you want to do things like support CSV upload and you place some reasonable limits on the size this is a great tool. You'll need to test it yourself, YMMV.

Passing return_records?: true can significantly increase the time it takes to perform the operation, and can also make the operation completely unreasonable due to the memory requirement. If you want to do very large bulk creates and display all of the results, the suggestion is to annotate them with a "bulk_create_id" in the data layer, and then read the records with that bulk_create_id so that they can be retrieved later if necessary.

Changes/Validations

Changes will be applied in the order they are given on the actions as normal. Any change that exposes the bulk_change or bulk_validate callback will be applied on the entire list.

After Action Hooks

The following requirements must be met for after_action hooks to function properly. If they are not met, and an after_action hook being applied to a changeset in a change.

  1. return_records? must be set to true.
  2. The changeset must be setting the primary key as part of its changes, so that we know which result applies to which changeset.

It is possible to use after_action hooks with bulk_change/3, but you need to return the hooks along with the changesets. This allows for setting up after_action hooks that don't need access to the returned record, or after_action hooks that can operate on the entire list at once. See the documentation for that callback for more on how to do accomplish that.

Options

  • :upsert? (boolean/0) - If a conflict is found based on the primary key, the record is updated in the database (requires upsert support) The default value is false.

  • :upsert_identity (atom/0) - The identity to use when detecting conflicts for upsert?, e.g. upsert_identity: :full_name. By default, the primary key is used. Has no effect if upsert?: true is not provided

  • :select (list of atom/0) - A select statement to apply to records. Ignored if return_records? is not true.

  • :upsert_fields - The fields to upsert. If not set, the action's upsert_fields is used. Unlike singular create, bulk_create with upsert? requires that upsert_fields be specified explicitly in one of these two locations.

  • :skip_unknown_inputs - A list of inputs that, if provided, will be ignored if they are not recognized by the action.

  • :domain (Ash.Domain) - The domain to use.

  • :timeout (timeout/0) - A positive integer, or :infinity. If none is provided, the timeout configured on the domain is used (which defaults to 30_000).

  • :tracer (one or a list of module that adopts Ash.Tracer) - A tracer that implements the Ash.Tracer behaviour. See that module for more.

  • :authorize? - If an actor option is provided (even if it is nil), authorization happens automatically. If not, this flag can be used to authorize with no user. Valid values are true, false, nil

  • :context (map/0) - Context to set on the query, changeset, or input

  • :tenant (value that implements the Ash.ToTenant protocol) - A tenant to set on the query or changeset

  • :actor (term/0) - If an actor is provided, it will be used in conjunction with the authorizers of a resource to authorize access

  • :return_notifications? (boolean/0) - Use this if you're running ash actions in your own transaction and you want to manually handle sending notifications.
    If a transaction is ongoing, and this is false, notifications will be discarded, otherwise the return value is {:ok, result, notifications} (or {:ok, notifications})
    To send notifications later, use Ash.Notifier.notify(notifications). It sends any notifications that can be sent, and returns the rest. The default value is false.

  • :rollback_on_error? (boolean/0) - Whether or not to rollback the transaction on error, if the resource is in a transaction.
    If the action has transaction? false this option has no effect. If an error is returned from the data layer and the resource is in a transaction, the transaction is always rolled back, regardless. The default value is true.

  • :notification_metadata (term/0) - Metadata to be merged into the metadata field for all notifications sent from this operation. The default value is %{}.

  • :load (term/0) - A load statement to add onto the changeset

  • :read_action (atom/0) - The action to use when building the read query.

  • :assume_casted? (boolean/0) - Whether or not to cast attributes and arguments as input. This is an optimization for cases where the input is already casted and/or not in need of casting The default value is false.

  • :load (term/0) - A load statement to apply to records. Ignored if return_records? is not true.

  • :select (list of atom/0) - A select statement to apply to records. Ignored if return_records? is not true.

  • :authorize_query_with - If set to :error, instead of filtering unauthorized query results, unauthorized query results will raise an appropriate forbidden error Valid values are :filter, :error The default value is :filter.

  • :authorize_changeset_with - If set to :error, instead of filtering unauthorized changes, unauthorized changes will raise an appropriate forbidden error Valid values are :filter, :error The default value is :filter.

  • :context (map/0) - Context to set on each changeset

  • :sorted? (boolean/0) - Whether or not to sort results by their input position, in cases where return_records?: true was provided. The default value is false.

  • :return_records? (boolean/0) - Whether or not to return all of the records that were inserted. Defaults to false to account for large inserts. The default value is false.

  • :return_errors? (boolean/0) - Whether or not to return all of the errors that occur. Defaults to false to account for large inserts. The default value is false.

  • :batch_size (pos_integer/0) - The number of records to include in each batch. Defaults to the default_limit or max_page_size of the action, or 100.

  • :return_stream? (boolean/0) - If set to true, instead of an Ash.BulkResult, a mixed stream is returned.
    Potential elements:
    {:notification, notification} - if return_notifications? is set to true {:ok, record} - if return_records? is set to true {:error, error} - an error that occurred. May be changeset or an invidual error. The default value is false.

  • :stop_on_error? (boolean/0) - If true, the first encountered error will stop the action and be returned. Otherwise, errors will be skipped. The default value is false.

  • :notify? (boolean/0) - Whether or not to generate any notifications. If this is set to true then the data layer must return the results from each batch. This may be intensive for large bulk actions.
    Notifications will be automatically sent unless return_notifications? is set to true. The default value is false.

  • :transaction - Whether or not to wrap the entire execution in a transaction, each batch, or not at all.
    Keep in mind:
    before_transaction and after_transaction hooks attached to changesets will have to be run inside the transaction if you choose transaction: :all. Valid values are :all, :batch, false The default value is :batch.

  • :max_concurrency (non_neg_integer/0) - If set to a value greater than 0, up to that many tasks will be started to run batches asynchronously The default value is 0.

  • :skip_unknown_inputs - A list of inputs that, if provided, will be ignored if they are not recognized by the action.

  | {:ok, false, Exception.t()}
  | {:error, term()}

Returns whether or not the user can perform the action, or :maybe, returning any errors.

In cases with "runtime" checks (checks after the action), we may not be able to determine an answer, and so the value :maybe will be returned from can/2. The can? function assumes that :maybe means true. Keep in mind, this is just for doing things like "can they do this" in a UI, so assuming :maybe is true is fine. The actual action invocation will be properly checked regardless. If you have runtime checks, you may need to use can instead of can?, or configure what :maybe means.

  • :lock (term/0) - A lock statement to add onto the query

  • :return_query? (boolean/0) - If true, the query that was ultimately used is returned as a third tuple element.
    The query goes through many potential changes during a request, potentially adding authorization filters, or replacing relationships for other data layers with their corresponding ids. This option can be used to get the true query that was sent to the data layer. The default value is false.

  • :reuse_values? (boolean/0) - Whether calculations are allowed to reuse values that have already been loaded, or must refetch them from the data layer. The default value is false.

  • :domain (Ash.Domain) - The domain to use.

  • :timeout (timeout/0) - A positive integer, or :infinity. If none is provided, the timeout configured on the domain is used (which defaults to 30_000).

  • :tracer (one or a list of module that adopts Ash.Tracer) - A tracer that implements the Ash.Tracer behaviour. See that module for more.

  • :action (term/0) - The action to use, either an Action struct or the name of the action

  • :authorize? - If an actor option is provided (even if it is nil), authorization happens automatically. If not, this flag can be used to authorize with no user. Valid values are true, false, nil

  • :context (map/0) - Context to set on the query, changeset, or input

  • :tenant (value that implements the Ash.ToTenant protocol) - A tenant to set on the query or changeset

stream!(query, opts \\ [])

View Source
@spec stream!(query :: Ash.Query.t() | Ash.Resource.t(), opts :: Keyword.t()) ::
  Enumerable.t(Ash.Resource.record())

Streams the results of a query.

Strategies

There are three strategies supported, and the best one available is always chosen. They are, in order from best to worst:

  • :keyset
  • :offset
  • :full_read

By default, only :keyset is supported. If you want to allow worse strategies to be used, pass the worst one you wish to allow as the allow_stream_with option, i.e allow_stream_with: :full_read. If you wish to specify a specific strategy to use, pass stream_with: :strategy_name.

Keyset

This utilizes keyset pagination to accomplish this stream. The action must support keyset pagination. This is the most efficient way to stream a query, because it works by using filters which can benefit from indexes in the data layer.

Offset

This utilizes offset/limit to accomplish this stream. If the action supports offset pagination, that will be used. Otherwise, if the data layer supports limit/offset, then explicit limits/offsets will be used. This is a much less efficient way of streaming a resource than keyset. To use limit/offset to reliably stream, a sort must always be applied, and limit/offset in the data layer will generally require sorting the entire table to figure out what is in each batch.

Full Read

This reads the entire table into memory with no limit. This is, generally speaking, the least efficient.

Options

  • :batch_size (integer/0) - How many records to request in each query run. Defaults to the pagination limits on the resource, or 250.

  • :allow_stream_with - The 'worst' strategy allowed to be used to fetch records. See Ash.stream!/2 docs for more. Valid values are :keyset, :offset, :full_read The default value is :keyset.

  • :stream_with - The specific strategy to use to fetch records. See Ash.stream!/2 docs for more. Valid values are :keyset, :offset, :full_read

  • :page - Pagination options, see the pagination docs for more.

  • :load (term/0) - A load statement to add onto the query

  • :max_concurrency (non_neg_integer/0) - The maximum number of processes allowed to be started for parallel loading of relationships and calculations. Defaults to System.schedulers_online() * 2

  • :lock (term/0) - A lock statement to add onto the query

  • :return_query? (boolean/0) - If true, the query that was ultimately used is returned as a third tuple element.
    The query goes through many potential changes during a request, potentially adding authorization filters, or replacing relationships for other data layers with their corresponding ids. This option can be used to get the true query that was sent to the data layer. The default value is false.

  • :reuse_values? (boolean/0) - Whether calculations are allowed to reuse values that have already been loaded, or must refetch them from the data layer. The default value is false.

  • :domain (Ash.Domain) - The domain to use.

  • :timeout (timeout/0) - A positive integer, or :infinity. If none is provided, the timeout configured on the domain is used (which defaults to 30_000).

  • :tracer (one or a list of module that adopts Ash.Tracer) - A tracer that implements the Ash.Tracer behaviour. See that module for more.

  • :action (term/0) - The action to use, either an Action struct or the name of the action

  • :authorize? - If an actor option is provided (even if it is nil), authorization happens automatically. If not, this flag can be used to authorize with no user. Valid values are true, false, nil

  • :context (map/0) - Context to set on the query, changeset, or input

  • :tenant (value that implements the Ash.ToTenant protocol) - A tenant to set on the query or changeset

  • :actor (term/0) - If an actor is provided, it will be used in conjunction with the authorizers of a resource to authorize access

Update a record.

  • :params (map/0) - Parameters to supply, ignored if the input is a changeset, only used when an identifier is given.

  • :atomic_upgrade? (boolean/0) - If true the action will be done atomically if it can (and is configured to do so), ignoring the in memory transformations and validations. You should not generally need to disable this. The default value is true.

  • :domain (Ash.Domain) - The domain to use.

  • :timeout (timeout/0) - A positive integer, or :infinity. If none is provided, the timeout configured on the domain is used (which defaults to 30_000).

  • :tracer (one or a list of module that adopts Ash.Tracer) - A tracer that implements the Ash.Tracer behaviour. See that module for more.

  • :action (term/0) - The action to use, either an Action struct or the name of the action

  • :authorize? - If an actor option is provided (even if it is nil), authorization happens automatically. If not, this flag can be used to authorize with no user. Valid values are true, false, nil

  • :context (map/0) - Context to set on the query, changeset, or input

  • :tenant (value that implements the Ash.ToTenant protocol) - A tenant to set on the query or changeset

  • :actor (term/0) - If an actor is provided, it will be used in conjunction with the authorizers of a resource to authorize access

  • :return_notifications? (boolean/0) - Use this if you're running ash actions in your own transaction and you want to manually handle sending notifications.
    If a transaction is ongoing, and this is false, notifications will be discarded, otherwise the return value is {:ok, result, notifications} (or {:ok, notifications})
    To send notifications later, use Ash.Notifier.notify(notifications). It sends any notifications that can be sent, and returns the rest. The default value is false.

  • :rollback_on_error? (boolean/0) - Whether or not to rollback the transaction on error, if the resource is in a transaction.
    If the action has transaction? false this option has no effect. If an error is returned from the data layer and the resource is in a transaction, the transaction is always rolled back, regardless. The default value is true.

  • :notification_metadata (term/0) - Metadata to be merged into the metadata field for all notifications sent from this operation. The default value is %{}.

  • :load (term/0) - A load statement to add onto the changeset
