Features & Modules

🛠 FatEcto.Dynamics.FatBuildable – Dynamic Filtering Made Easy

Tired of writing repetitive query filters? The Whereable module lets you dynamically filter records using flexible conditions passed from your web or mobile clients—with little to no effort! And the best part? You stay in control. 🚀

Usage

defmodule FatEcto.Dynamics.MyApp.HospitalFilter do
  use FatEcto.Dynamics.FatBuildable,
    filterable_fields: %{
      "id" => ["$EQUAL", "$NOT_EQUAL"]
    },
    overrideable_fields: ["name", "phone"],
    ignoreable_fields_values: %{
      "name" => ["%%", "", [], nil],
      "phone" => ["%%", "", [], nil]
    }

  import Ecto.Query

  @impl true
  # You can implement override_whereable for your custom filters
  def override_whereable(_dynamics, "name", "$ILIKE", value) do
    dynamic([r], ilike(fragment("(?)::TEXT", r.name), ^value))
  end

  def override_whereable(dynamics, _, _, _), do: dynamics

  # You can do some custom processing if needed eg
  def after_whereable(dynamics) do
    if dynamics, do: dynamics, else: true
  end
end

Example Usage

Here are some practical examples of how to use FatEcto.Dynamics.MyApp.HospitalFilter to dynamically build queries:

Example 1: Basic Filtering by ID

# Filter hospitals with ID equal to 1
params = %{"id" => %{"$EQUAL" => 1}}
dynamics = FatEcto.Dynamics.MyApp.HospitalFilter.build(params)

# Use the dynamics in a query
import Ecto.Query
query = where(FatEcto.FatHospital, ^dynamics)

# Resulting query:
# from(h in FatEcto.FatHospital, where: h.id == 1)

Example 2: Case-Insensitive Name Search

# Filter hospitals with names containing "St. Mary"
params = %{"name" => %{"$ILIKE" => "%St. Mary%"}}
dynamics = FatEcto.Dynamics.MyApp.HospitalFilter.build(params)

# Use the dynamics in a query
import Ecto.Query
query = where(FatEcto.FatHospital, ^dynamics)

# Resulting query:
# from(h in FatEcto.FatHospital, where: ilike(fragment("(?)::TEXT", h.name), ^"%St. Mary%"))

Example 3: Combining Multiple Filters

# Filter hospitals with ID not equal to 2 AND name containing "General"
params = %{
  "id" => %{"$NOT_EQUAL" => 2},
  "name" => %{"$ILIKE" => "%General%"}
}
dynamics = FatEcto.Dynamics.MyApp.HospitalFilter.build(params)

# Use the dynamics in a query
import Ecto.Query
query = where(FatEcto.FatHospital, ^dynamics)

# Resulting query:
# from(h in FatEcto.FatHospital, where: h.id != 2 and ilike(fragment("(?)::TEXT", h.name), ^"%General%"))

Example 4: Ignoring Empty or Invalid Values

# Filter hospitals with a name, but ignore empty or invalid values
params = %{"name" => %{"$ILIKE" => "%%"}}  # Empty value is ignored
dynamics = FatEcto.Dynamics.MyApp.HospitalFilter.build(params)

# Use the dynamics in a query
import Ecto.Query
query = where(FatEcto.FatHospital, ^dynamics)

# Resulting query:
# from(h in FatEcto.FatHospital)  # No filtering applied for name

Example 5: Even Complex Nested conditions

# Filter hospitals with a name, but ignore empty or invalid values
params = %{
  "$OR" => [
    %{
      "name" => %{"$ILIKE" => "%John%"},
      "$OR" => %{"rating" => %{"$GT" => 18}, "location" => "New York"}
    },
    %{
      "start_date" => "2023-01-01",
      "$AND" => [
        %{"rating" => %{"$GT" => 4}},
        %{"email" => "fat_ecto@example.com"}
      ]
    }
  ]
}

dynamics = DoctorFilter.build(params)

# Resulting dynamic:
dynamic(
  [q],
  ((q.location == ^"New York" or q.rating > ^18) and ilike(fragment("(?)::TEXT", q.name), ^"%John%")) or
    (q.rating > ^4 and q.email == ^"fat_ecto@example.com" and q.start_date == ^"2023-01-01")
)

# You can now apply the result on where just like above examples

🔄 FatEcto.FatSortable – Effortless Sorting

Sorting should be simple—and with Sortable, it is! Your frontend can send sorting parameters, and FatEcto will seamlessly generate the right sorting queries, allowing you to build powerful, customizable sorting logic without breaking a sweat. 😎

Usage of FatSortable

defmodule Fat.SortQuery do
  import Ecto.Query
  use FatEcto.FatSortable,
    sortable_fields: %{"id" => "$ASC", "name" => ["$ASC", "$DESC"]},
    overrideable_fields: ["custom_field"]

  @impl true
  def override_sortable(query, field, operator) do
    case {field, operator} do
      {"custom_field", "$ASC"} ->
        from(q in query, order_by: [asc: fragment("?::jsonb->>'custom_field'", q)])
      _ ->
        query
    end
  end
end

📌 FatEcto.FatPaginator – Paginate Like a Pro

No more hassle with pagination! FatPaginator helps you paginate Ecto queries efficiently, keeping your APIs snappy and responsive.

Usage of FatPaginator

defmodule Fat.MyPaginator do
  use FatEcto.FatPaginator, repo: Fat.Repo
  # Add custom pagination functions here
end

🔍 FatEcto.FatDataSanitizer – Clean & Structured Data

Messy data? Not anymore! DataSanitizer helps you sanitize records and transform them into structured, clean views effortlessly. Keep your data tidy and consistent. 🎯

Usage of FatDataSanitizer

defmodule Fat.MySanitizer do
  use FatEcto.FatDataSanitizer
  # Define your custom sanitization functions here
end

⚡ FatEcto Utilities – Small Helpers, Big Impact

FatEcto also comes with a set of handy utility functions to streamline your workflow:

# Check if a map contains all required keys
FatEcto.Utils.Map.has_all_keys?(%{a: 1, b: 2}, [:a, :b])

# Ensure a map contains only allowed keys
FatEcto.Utils.Map.contain_only_allowed_keys?(%{a: 1, c: 3}, [:a, :b])
