Arc.Ecto
========

Arc.Ecto provides an integration with [Arc](https://github.com/stavro/arc) and Ecto.

Installation
============

Add the latest stable release to your `mix.exs` file:

```elixir
defp deps do
[
{:arc_ecto, "~> 0.11.3"}
]
end
```

Then run `mix deps.get` in your shell to fetch the dependencies.

Usage
=====

### Add Arc.Ecto.Definition

Add a second using macro `use Arc.Ecto.Definition` to the top of your Arc definitions.

```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Avatar do
use Arc.Definition
use Arc.Ecto.Definition

# ...
end
```

This provides a set of functions to ease integration with Arc and Ecto. In particular:

* Definition of a custom Ecto Type responsible for storing the images.
* Url generation with a cache-busting timestamp query parameter

### Add a string column to your schema

Arc attachments should be stored in a string column, with a name indicative of the attachment.

```elixir
create table :users do
add :avatar, :string
end
```

### Add your attachment to your Ecto Schema

Add a using statement `use Arc.Ecto.Schema` to the top of your ecto schema, and specify the type of the column in your schema as `MyApp.Avatar.Type`.

Attachments can subsequently be passed to Arc's storage though a Changeset `cast_attachments/3` function, following the syntax of `cast/3`

```elixir
defmodule MyApp.User do
use MyApp.Web, :model
use Arc.Ecto.Schema

schema "users" do
field :name, :string
field :avatar, MyApp.Avatar.Type
end

@doc """
Creates a changeset based on the `data` and `params`.

If no params are provided, an invalid changeset is returned
with no validation performed.
"""
def changeset(user, params \\ :invalid) do
user
|> cast(params, [:name])
|> cast_attachments(params, [:avatar])
|> validate_required([:name, :avatar])
end
end
```

### Save your attachments as normal through your controller

```elixir
@doc """
Given params of:

%{
"id" => 1,
"user" => %{
"avatar" => %Plug.Upload{
content_type: "image/png",
filename: "selfie.png",
path: "/var/folders/q0/dg42x390000gp/T//plug-1434/multipart-765369-5"}
}
}

"""
def update(conn, %{"id" => id, "user" => user_params}) do
user = Repo.get(User, id)
changeset = User.changeset(user, user_params)

if changeset.valid? do
Repo.update(changeset)

conn
|> put_flash(:info, "User updated successfully.")
|> redirect(to: user_path(conn, :index))
else
render conn, "edit.html", user: user, changeset: changeset
end
end
```

### Retrieve the serialized url

Both public and signed urls will include the timestamp for cache busting, and are retrieved the exact same way as using Arc directly.

```elixir
user = Repo.get(User, 1)

# To receive a single rendition:
MyApp.Avatar.url({user.avatar, user}, :thumb)
#=> "https://bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/avatars/1/thumb.png?v=63601457477"

# To receive all renditions:
MyApp.Avatar.urls({user.avatar, user})
#=> %{original: "https://.../original.png?v=1234", thumb: "https://.../thumb.png?v=1234"}

# To receive a signed url:
MyApp.Avatar.url({user.avatar, user}, signed: true)
MyApp.Avatar.url({user.avatar, user}, :thumb, signed: true)
```
