Hi folks
TLDR; I have an idea explained at the end, but I am not sure that’s how I should be doing it in Ash.
I am trying to understand how my domains & resources should look like.
I have a domain Portofolio where I want to store Assets and the price of those Assets for a given date.
A simplified version of what I have is:
defmodule Portfolio.Asset do
attributes do
...
attribute :name, :string, allow_nil?: false
...
end
relationships do
belongs_to :user, Accounts.User, allow_nil?: false
has_many :snapshots, AssetSnapshot
end
end
defmodule Portfolio.AssetSnapshot do
attributes do
...
attribute :amount, :decimal, allow_nil?: false
create_timestamp :created_at
...
end
relationships do
belongs_to :asset, Portfolio.Asset, allow_nil?: false
end
end
With these resources I could “easily” get user.assets
and then for each asset a asset.last_snapshot
or even have a calculation in the Portfolio
for it. But at the moment that I need a bit more flexibility getting, for example, the last year snapshots I think it will get complicated.
I was thinking in adding an intermediary Snapshot
for the whole Portfolio and not for the asset that would be simply:
attributes do
...
date :date
...
end
relationships do
has_many :assets, Portfolio.Asset, allow_nil?: false
has_many :asset_snapshots, Porfolio.AssetSnapshot, allow_nil?: false
end
This way the Snapshot just saves the date and I can easily query there and create some calculations.
In the past I did something similar with a JSONB and I think I could get a similar behaviour here with a :map
but I am not sure that’s the Ash-way.
Any insight would be more than welcome!
