ecto_shorts v0.1.1 EctoShorts View Source

Ecto Shorts is a library created to help shorten ecto interactions and remove most of the related code.

The major limitation right now is this is restricted to functioning on 1 repo, in the future I would expect multi-repo support to expand

There are 2 main modules Actions and CommonChanges

Actions

EctoShorts.Actions allows for filters to be constructed from data such as

Actions.all(User, %{
  favorite_food: "curry",
  age: %{gte: 18, lte: 50},
  name: %{ilike: "steven"},
  preload: [:address],
  last: 5
})

which the equivelent would be

Repo.all from u in User,
  preload: [:address],
  limit: 5,
  where: u.favorite_food == "curry" and
         u.age >= 18 and u.age <= 50 and
         ilike(u.name, "%steven%")

CommonChanges

EctoShorts.CommonChanges is responsible for updating relations on schemas it allows you to update associations or create using changesets and handles choosing between put_assoc and cast_assoc

Actions.update(User, 1, %{friends: [%{id: 5, name: "Billy"}]})
Actions.update(User, 1, %{friends: [%{id: 5, name: "Bob"}]})

Another feature is you can update many to many relationship members using a id list of members

How to make user 1 friends with users 5, 6, 7

Actions.update(User, 1, %{friends: [%{id: 5}, %{id: 6}, %{id: 7}]})

Config

You can configure both the Repo and Error module via

config :ecto_shorts,
  repo: MyRepo,
  error_module: EctoShorts.Actions.Error
