View Source EctoShorts (ecto_shorts v2.4.0)

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

There are 2 main modules EctoShorts.Actions and EctoShorts.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
})copy

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%")copy

All actions can accept an optional argument of a keyword list that can be used to configure which Repo the Action should use.

Options

• :repo - A module that uses the Ecto.Repo Module.
• :replica - If you don't want to perform any reads against your Primary, you can specify a replica to read from.

See EctoShorts.CommonFilters for more info on filters

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"}]})copy

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}]})copy

Config

You can configure both the Repo and Error module via

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