Hey
I want to introduce you a small utility that may help in writing dynamic queries ![]()
In a few words, this code:
blank_string? = fn string -> String.trim(string) == "" end
query = some_complex_query()
query =
if not is_binary(params[:some_field1]) or blank_string?.(params[:some_field1]) do
query
else
query |> where(some_field1: ^params[:some_field1])
end
query =
if is_nil(params[:some_field2]) do
query
else
query |> where(some_field2: ^params[:some_field2])
end
query |> Repo.all()
can be reorganzied to this:
blank_string? = fn string -> String.trim(string) == "" end
some_complex_query()
|> Composite.new(params)
|> Composite.param(:somefield1, &where(&1, some_field1: ^&2),
ignore?: &(not is_binary(&1) or blank_string?.(&1))
)
|> Composite.param(:some_field2, &where(&1, some_field2: ^&2))
|> Repo.all()
However, library can be used not only with Ecto.
For more complex example with joins check test file.
Currently, it is not published to hex and available only on Github

Aren’t Changesets used for parameter validations?
fuelen
For validation - yes, but this library is about optional application.
fuelen
One and a half years have passed, the library has version 0.4 and has better docs with examples.
Check it out here composite v0.6.0 — Documentation
fuelen
Published an article about the library
fuelen
Composite v0.7.0 is out
It adds
apply_tagged/1,3for detecting unchanged queries and fixes dependency ordering and strict nested params.
