base() :: ExAirtable.Config.Base.t()

A valid %ExAirtable.Config.Base{} config for your table.

Often this will end up being in the application configuration somewhere, for example:

# ... in your mix.config
config :my_app, Airtable.Base, %{
  id: "base id",
  api_key: "api key"
}

# ... in your table module
def base do
  struct(ExAirtable.Config.Base, Application.get_env(:my_all, Airtable.Base))
end

Specs

list_params() :: Keyword.t()

(Optional) A map of parameters that you wish to send to Airtable when either list/1 or list_async/1 is called.

You would define this if you want your local MyTable.list and ExAirtable.list(MyTable) functions to always return a filtered query from Airtable.

Examples

# To filter records by a boolean "Approved" field, and only return the "Name" and "Picture", your params might look like this:
def list_params do
  [
    filterByFormula: "{Approved}",
    fields: "Name",
    fields: "Picture"
  ]
end

See here for more details about the available Airtable List API options.

Specs

name() :: String.t()

The name of your table within Airtable

Specs

schema() :: map()

(Optional) A map converting Airtable field names to local schema field names.

This is handy for situations (passing attributes to ecto schemas, for example) where you may want different in-app field names than the fields you get from Airtable.

If you don't define this method, the default is to simply use Airtable field names as the schema.

Examples

# If you want atom field names for your schema map...
def schema do
  %{
    "Airtable Field Name" => :local_field_name,
    "Other Airtable Field" => :other_local_field
  }
end

iex> ExAirtable.Airtable.Record.to_schema(record, MyTable.schema)
%{airtable_id: "rec1234", local_field_name: "value", other_local_field: "other value"}

# If you want string field names for your schema map...
def schema do
  %{
    "Airtable Field Name" => "local_field_name",
    "Other Airtable Field" => "other_local_field"
  }
end

iex> ExAirtable.Airtable.Record.to_schema(record, MyTable.schema)
%{"airtable_id" => "rec1234", "local_field_name" => "value", "other_local_field" => "other value"}
