I have an Event that has_one Number (the schema and migrations are shown simplified below). I can use put_assoc when inserting a number to associate a number with an event. However I would like to be able to disassociate the two (essentially remove the relationship) without deleting the Number or Event (so the number would end up with no event_id). Any ideas would be quite helpful.
defmodule App.Events.Event do
use Ecto.Schema
import Ecto.Changeset
schema "events" do
field :description, :string
field :name, :string
has_one :number, App.Events.Number
timestamps()
end
@doc false
def changeset(event, attrs) do
required_fields = [:name]
optional_fields = [:description]
event
|> cast(attrs, required_fields ++ optional_fields)
|> validate_required(required_fields)
end
end
defmodule App.Repo.Migrations.CreateEvents do
use Ecto.Migration
def change do
create table(:events) do
add :name, :string
add :description, :text
timestamps()
end
end
end
defmodule App.Events.Number do
use Ecto.Schema
import Ecto.Changeset
schema "numbers" do
field :description, :string
field :name, :string
field :phone_number, :string
belongs_to :event, App.Events.Event
timestamps()
end
@doc false
def changeset(number, attrs) do
required_fields = [:name, :phone_number]
optional_fields = [:description]
number
|> cast(attrs, required_fields ++ optional_fields)
|> validate_required(required_fields)
end
end
defmodule App.Repo.Migrations.CreateNumbers do
use Ecto.Migration
def change do
create table(:numbers) do
add :name, :string
add :description, :text
add :phone_number, :string, null: false
add :event_id, references(:events, on_delete: :delete_all)
timestamps()
end
end
end
