Ectoo

Ecto is powerful, but a relatively low-level abstraction in some respects. Not all simple things are easy to do.

This library aims to remedy that by building some convenient abstractions on top of Ecto.

Counting all records with Ecto:

require Ecto.Query
Ecto.Query.from m in MyModel, select: count(m.id)

Counting all records with Ectoo:

Ectoo.count(MyModel)

Ectoo does not aim to replace Ecto. Use Ectoo when you have simple needs, and Ecto for the rest.

Ectoo currently lets you do:

Ectoo.count(MyModel)
Ectoo.max(MyModel, :age)
Ectoo.min(MyModel, :age)
Ectoo.avg(MyModel, :age)
Ectoo.sum(MyModel, :age)

Installation

Add ectoo to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:ectoo, "> 0.0.0"},
  ]
end

Ensure ectoo is started before your application:

def application do
  [applications: [
    :ectoo,
  ]]
end

Development

mix deps.get
mix test

TODO

• Make count work with more complex queries (the PK extraction probably prevents it)
• Hex docs
• Handle composite primary keys?
• Moar?
