# Atlas

Atlas is an Object Relational Mapper for Elixir. (Work in progress. Expect breaking changes)

[![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/chrismccord/atlas.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/chrismccord/atlas)

## Current Features
- Postgres Adapter
- Validations
- Persistence
- Schema definitions
- Model query builder
- Auto-generated 'accessor' functions for each field definition

## Roadmap
- Extend query builder to support joins
- Add model relationships, ie `belongs_to`, `has_many`, `has_many through:`
- Additional SQL adapters
- Schema migrations

## Example Usage:

```elixir
defmodule User do
use Atlas.Model

@table :users
@primary_key :id

field :id, :integer
field :email, :string
field :is_site_admin, :boolean
field :archived, :boolean
field :state, :string

validates_numericality_of :id
validates_presence_of :email
validates_length_of :email, within: 5..255
validates_format_of :email, with: %r/.*@.*/, message: "Email must be valid"
validates :lives_in_ohio

def lives_in_ohio(record) do
unless record.state == "OH", do: {:state, "You must live in Ohio"}
end

def admins do
where(archived: false) |> where(is_site_admin: true)
end

def admin_with_email(email) do
admins |> where(email: email)
end
end

iex> admin = Repo.first User.admin_with_email("[email protected]")
%User{id: 5, email: "[email protected]", archived: false, is_site_admin: true...}
```

## Query Builder

### Examples
```elixir
iex> User.where(email: "[email protected]")
|> User.where("state IS NOT NULL")
|> User.order(update_at: :asc)
|> Repo.all

[%User{id: 5, archived: true, is_site_admin: false...}, %User{id: 5, archived: true, is_site_admin: false...}]

iex> user = User.where(email: "[email protected]") |> Repo.first
%User{id: 5, archived: false, is_site_admin: false...}
iex> user.email
[email protected]

iex> User.where(archived: true)
|> User.order(updated_at: :desc)
|> Repo.first

%User{id: 5, archived: true, is_site_admin: false...}
```

#### Queries are composable
```elixir
defmodule UserSearch do
import User

def perform(options) do
is_admin = Keyword.get options, :is_site_admin, false
email = Keyword.get options, :email, nil
scope = User.scoped

scope = scope |> where(is_site_admin: is_admin)
if email, do: scope = scope |> where(email: email)

scope |> Repo.all
end
end

iex> UserSearch.perform(is_site_admin: true, email: "[email protected]")
[%User{email: "[email protected]"}]
```

## Persistence

Atlas uses the Repository pattern to decouple persistence from behavior, as well as allow multiple database connections
to different repositories for a robust and flexible persistence layer. When creating/updating/destroying data,
a list of behaviors must be included to run validation callbacks against for the Repo to proceed or halt with requested
actions via the `as:` option.

Examples

```elixir
defmodule User do
use Atlas.Model

@table :users
@primary_key :id

field :age, :integer
field :name, :string

validates_numericality_of :age, within: 1..150
validates_presence_of :name
end

defmodule Manager do
use Atlas.Validator

validates_numericality_of :age, greater_than_or_equal: 21, message: "managers must be at least 21"
end
```

```elixir
iex> Repo.create(User, [age: 12, name: "Dilbert"], as: User)
{:ok, %User{age: 12...}}

iex> user = Repo.first(User)
iex> Repo.update(user, [age: 18], as: [User, Manager])
{:error, %User{age: 18...}, ["managers must be at least 21"]}

iex> Repo.create(User, [age: 0, name: "Chris"], as: User)
{:error, %User{age: 0..}, ["age must be between 1 and 150"]}
```

## Accessors

Accessors for assigning and retrieving model attributes are automatically defined
from the shema field definitions.

By default, Accessors are simply pass-throughs to the raw record setter and getter
values; however, accessors can be overriden by the module for extended behavior
and transformations before writing to, or after reading from the database.
`assign` functions transform attributes when creating a new Struct via `Model.new` and
before running model callbacks such as validations.

Example attribute assignment:

```elixir
defmodule User do
use Atlas.Model
field :email, :string
field :name, :string

def assign(user, :email, value), do: user.update(email: String.downcase(value))
end

iex> User.assign(user, :email, "[email protected]")
User[email: "[email protected]"]

iex> User.new(email, "[email protected]")
User[email: "[email protected]"]
```

Example attribute retrieval:

```elixir
defmodule User do
use Atlas.Model
field :email, :string
field :name, :string

def email(user), do: user.email |> String.upcase
end

iex> user = User.new(email: "[email protected]")
iex> User.email(user)
[email protected]
```

### Auto-generated finders

`with_[field name]` functions are automatically generated for all defined fields.
For example, a User module with a `field :email, :string` definition would include a `User.with_email` function
that returns the first record matching that field from the database.

## Validation Support
```elixir
iex> user = User.new(email: "invalid")
%User{id: nil, email: "invalid", is_site_admin: nil...}

iex> User.validate user
{:error, %User{newsletter_updated_at: ...}, [email: "Email must be valid", email: "_ must be between 5 and 255 characters",
email: "_ must not be blank"]}

iex> User.full_error_messages user
["Email must be valid","email must be between 5 and 255 characters","email must not be blank","id must be a valid number"]

```

## Repo Configuration
Define at least one Repository in your project that uses Atlas.Repo with a supported adapter.
Your Repo simply needs to be provide `config` functions for `:dev`, `:test`, and `:prod` environments.
After defining your repo, start its process within your application.

```elixir
defmodule Repo do
use Atlas.Repo, adapter: Atlas.Adapters.Postgres

def config(:dev) do
[
database: "",
username: "",
password: "",
host: "",
pool: 5,
log_level: :debug
]
end

def config(:test) do
[
database: "",
username: "",
password: "",
host: "",
pool: 5,
log_level: :debug
]
end

def config(:prod) do
[
database: "",
username: "",
password: "",
host: "",
pool: 5,
log_level: :warn
]
end
end

Repo.start_link
```

## Testing

Testing requires a `lib/atlas/repos/dev_repo.ex` to exist. Here's an example:

```elixir
defmodule Repo do
use Atlas.Repo, adapter: Atlas.Adapters.Postgres

def config(:dev) do
[
database: "",
username: "",
password: "",
host: "localhost",
pool: 5,
log_level: :debug
]
end

def config(:test) do
[
database: "atlas_test",
username: "chris",
password: "",
host: "localhost",
pool: 5,
log_level: :debug
]
end

def config(:prod) do
[
database: "",
username: "",
password: "",
host: "",
pool: 5,
log_level: :warn
]
end
end
```
