EctoTimestamps

An elixir module that convert default utc timestamps to local timestamps in ecto.

Note: Ecto 2.0 and above is required.

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed as:

1. Add ecto_timestamps to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

  def deps do
    [{:ecto_timestamps, "~> 1.0.0"}]
  end

1. Ensure ecto_timestamps is started before your application:

  def application do
    [applications: [:ecto_timestamps]]
  end

Usage

Add a module attribute to your Ecto schema, for example:

  defmodule <ProjectName>.Model.Role do
    @timestamps_opts [
      autogenerate: {EctoTimestamps.Local, :autogenerate, [:sec]}
    ]
    schema "role" do
      field :name, :string
      timestamps
    end
  end

If you dont want to add @timestamps_opts module attribute in your every schema, you could create a module and use it.

  defmodule <ProjectName>.Model do
    defmacro __using__(_opts) do
      quote do
        import Ecto.Query
        use Ecto.Schema
        alias Ecto.Changeset
        alias <ProjectName>.Repo

        @timestamps_opts [
          autogenerate: {EctoTimestamps.Local, :autogenerate, [:sec]}
        ]
      end
    end
  end

And then use it in your Role schema

  defmodule <ProjectName>.Model.Role do
    use <ProjectName>.Model

    schema "role" do
      field :name, :string
      timestamps
    end
  end
