Ecto.Rut

Ecto Model shortcuts to make your life easier! 🎉

Tired of calling YourApp.Repo in your Ecto app for all CRUD operations? Sick of code repetitions? Want to create, find, update and delete model objects the old ruby-way? Fret no more, Ecto.Rut is here!

Installation

Add :ecto_rut as a dependency in your mix.exs file:

defp deps do
  [
    {:ecto_rut, "~> 1.0.1"}
  ]
end

and run:

$ mix deps.get

Phoenix Projects

If you have an app built in Phoenix Framework, just add use Ecto.Rut in the models method in web/web.ex:

# web/web.ex

def model do
  quote do
    use Ecto.Schema
    use Ecto.Rut

    # Other stuff...
  end
end

That's it! Ecto.Rut will automatically be loaded in all of your models. You can now relax!

Other Ecto Projects

If you're not using Phoenix or you don't want to use Ecto.Rut with all of your models (why wouldn't you!?), you'll have to manually add use Ecto.Rut:

defmodule YourApp.Post do
  use Ecto.Schema
  use Ecto.Rut

  # Schema, Changeset and other stuff...
end

Basic Usage

You can call normal Ecto.Repo methods directly on the Models:

Post.all
# instead of YourApp.Repo.all(Post)

Post.get(2)
# instead of YourApp.Repo.get(Post, 2)


# Other available methods:

Post.insert(title: "Awesome Post", slug: "awesome-post", category_id: 3)

Post.delete(bad_post)

Post.get_by(category: "elixir")

All methods (except all/0) also have their bang versions available, i.e. get!/1.

Roadmap

• Write Tests
• Write Documentation
• Cover all main Ecto.Repo methods
• Introduce new wrapper methods that accept direct arguments (Such as Post.delete_by_id(3))

Contributing

• Fork, Enhance, Send PR
• Lock issues with any bugs or feature requests
