Elixir Rivets — Data Model Framework

This project is still a "Work in Progress" and not ready for GA

Rivets is an opinionated framework for managing data models in Elixir.

Rivet is a series of helper libraries for elixir applications wanting help in their Rivets projects.

Library Contributors: Mark Erickson, Brandon Gillespie, Lyle Mantooth, Jake Wood

Look in module docs lib/mix/tasks/index.ex for command syntax

TODO

we need this somewhere global 😄 I use the latter logic in guards all the time.

make a default test for mapping tables that doesn't use '.id', and perhaps a --mapping flag or similar to note this
migrate should print what its doing
running 'mix rivet new model' prints 'creating' in _build folder even though it ends up in the right place, but this is odd. Also gets "model already exists..." error.

Model already exists in /.../src/_build/dev/lib/core/priv/rivet/migrations/migrations.exs, not adding

but it isn't in migrations.exs... so something is wrong
adding new model isn't added to parent index
running from within umbrella is hairy. Just run commands from within the sub-app, instead of top of umbrella, for now
configurable table prefixes in db schema
maturing command set (see mix rivet help)
tighter integration w/Ecto (see prior)
mix rivet migrate is silent, need to get it noisy like typical ecto.migrate
tests are currently going into path/model/model_test; should just be path/model_test
default model shouldn't create so many things

See rivet-ident for a project using the Rivets Framework.

You can bring the rivet-ident into YOUR project as a dependency (see notes on that project for more details)
