Calecto.Model
Provides a use
macro for adding Calendar support to Ecto timestamps.
It also takes an argument to define whether microseconds should be used for Ecto timestamps. It is recommended to set this to true unless a MySQL database older than 5.0 is used.
The macro can either be added in the Ecto models where schema definitions exist.
Example:
defmodule Weather do
use Ecto.Model
use Calecto.Model, usec: true
schema "weather" do
field :city, :string
timestamps
end
end
Usage with Phoenix
In Phoenix the file web/web.ex
contains a macro that is by default used in
all models. This means that you can simply add the use Calecto.Model
line
in that file once, and it will be used in all models.
Find the method defintion model
and add the use Calecto.Model
line under
use Ecto.Model
:
# web/web.ex
# ...
def model do
quote do
use Ecto.Model
use Calecto.Model, usec: true
end
end
