Hello,
I am trying to build a many to many relationship between users and comments using this blog post https://medium.com/coletiv-stories/ecto-elixir-many-to-many-relationships-66403933f8c1.
I am uisng the second method after the title The right way — Use Ecto powers.
This can be found in the middle of the blog post.
I have the following problem
My code
def changeset(user, attrs) do
user
|> cast(attrs, [:username, :email, :password, :role, :confirmed, :attempts, :locked])
|> validate_required([:username, :email, :password, :role, :confirmed, :attempts, :locked])
end
def changeset_update_comments(%User{} = user, comment) do
user
|> cast(%{}, @required_fields)
# associate projects to the user
|> put_assoc(:comment, comment)
end
Also getting this error:
** (CompileError) lib/medium_graphql_api/accounts/user.ex:25: User.__struct__/0 is undefined, cannot expand struct User
lib/medium_graphql_api/accounts/user.ex:25: (module)
Elixir
What is the correct way to define my user struct?
Why is it undefined?
Why can’t I expand struct User?
The git with the full aplication is available here GitHub - wolfiton/medium_graphql_api at dao · GitHub
Thanks in advance

You can’t reference the current module like that you’ll need to reference
Userby it’s full namespace or by using__MODULE__.You could also alias the local module which will allow you to reference as you are now.
wolfiton
Thanks didn’t know that you can’t do it like this alias MediumGraphqlApi.Blog.Comment
I will try your suggestion and select the solution button of it works is that okay?
LostKobrakai
I wouldn’t match on the struct for changeset functions because sometimes you already have a changeset and you want to cast additional parameters into it.
Ecto.Changeset.castdoes accept both as first argument.wolfiton
How would be the best way to do it?
LostKobrakai
I just do
changeset(struct_or_changeset, params)and be fine.Ecto.Changeset.castwill already yell if I try to use the function with non supported input.wolfiton
So in this case I would create a single changset not a pattern match between changesets as i have now?
wolfiton
Something like this?:
Move everything into a single changeset?
Well it doesn’t yeld any errors, so probably this is what you ,meant by
wolfiton
Thank you everyone for helping me identify the problems and also propose new ways to write the same code better.
So thanks to @sjoconnor and @LostKobrakai
