# EctoCrdtTypes [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/ExpressApp/ecto_crdt_types.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/ExpressApp/ecto_crdt_types) [![Hex.pm](https://img.shields.io/hexpm/v/ecto_crdt_types.svg)](https://hex.pm/packages/ecto_crdt_types)

---

Libary provides support for saving CRDT data and values to db using Ecto.

It provides:
- changeset function `cast_crdt`,
- Ecto.Schema macro `crdt_field`
- custom Ecto types, with generic support of [lasp-lang/types](https://github.com/lasp-lang/types) library underneath.

Currently we actively use the following types from `lasp-lang`:
- :state_awset
- :state_lwwregistry

Other types have very basic support. So feel free to contribute!

## Installation

1. Add `ecto_crdt_types` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
[{:ecto_crdt_types, "~> 0.4.0"}]
end
```

2. Ensure `ecto_crdt_types` is started before your application:

```elixir
def application do
[applications: [:ecto_crdt_types]]
end
```

## Usage

Define Ecto schema and changeset:

```elixir
defmodule User do
use Ecto.Schema
import EctoCrdtTypes.Fields

alias EctoCrdtTypes.Types.State.AWSet

schema "users" do
field :name, :string
crdt_field :devices, AWSet
end

def changeset(model, params) do
params
|> cast(params, [:name])
|> cast_crdt([:devices])
end
end
```

Initialize new `User` changeset:

```elixir
iex> alias EctoCrdtTypes.Types.State.AWSet

iex> user =
%User{}
|> User.changeset(%{"name" => "My Name", "devices_crdt" => AWSet.new([]))
|> Repo.insert(user)
```
