ExCatalog

A General E-commerce Catalog System

Think of this like an old school paper mail in catalog, we dont need all the fluff (extra db tables etc) as in in most ecommerce implementations, this is just a catalog, decoupled from inventory management with some options such as csv and pdf export, integer or binary primary key.

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding ex_catalog to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

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

Creating the Database Tables

The Database Tables can be created by running the mix alias.

mix install
