Hello,
Say I have a cut down version of my create action.
I would like to populate an attribute (:geom) by using accepted values (:latitude, :longitude)
attributes do
attribute :latitude, :float, allow_nil?: false
attribute :longitude, :float, allow_nil?: false
attribute :geom, :geometry, allow_nil?: false
end
actions do
defaults [:read]
create :create do
accept [:latitude, :longitude]
# I should be able to build a geometry 'point' field like so:
# "POINT(#{:longitude} #{:latitude})"
# but how to apply :geom to the changeset?
end
end
Can someone please describe the “Ash” way of doing this?
I have a few use case like this, even triggering an oban job to go off and get data from an external to enrich related fields
Thanks.

In this case a change would do the trick
camstuart
Thanks @barnabasJ !
You have put me on the right track. Turns out the creation of the geometry types was easier like so:
Although I believe AshGeo has it’s own DSL for coercing the postgis type, I found it easier to use the underlying library in this case.
But now I know how to intercept a changeset!
Thanks again
