I’m trying to pass jsonb data into postgres via ecto. I’d like to be able to take a valid JSON string, add it as a graphql argument, and see that json in my table.
migration
defmodule MyApp.CreateJsonTable do
use Ecto.Migration
def change do
create table(:geodata) do
add(:json, :map)
timestamps(type: :utc_datetime)
end
end
end
My understanding is that you need to define a struct for Poison for JSONB, and then decode into that when you insert.
defmodule Geodatajson do
use MyApp, :model
embedded_schema do
field(:latitude, :float)
field(:longitude, :float)
end
end
now the model:
defmodule MyApp.Geodata do
use MyApp, :model
alias MyApp.Repo
alias MyApp.Geodata
schema "geodata" do
embeds_one(:json, Geodatajson)
timestamps()
end
def changeset(struct, params \\ %{}) do
struct
|> cast(params, [:json])
end
def add_geodata(str) do
json = str |> Poison.decode!(as: Geodatajson)
data = %Geodata{json: json}
Repo.insert(data)
end
end
I try to pass in the data like this:
iex> MyApp.Geodata.add_geodata("{\"latitude\": 1.23, \"longitude\": 4.56}")
but the JSONB does not get decoded:
{:ok,
%MyApp.Geodata{
__meta__: #Ecto.Schema.Metadata<:loaded, "geodata">,
id: 26,
inserted_at: ~N[2018-04-28 13:28:42.346382],
json: %Geodatajson{
id: "3b22ef94-92eb-4c64-8174-9ce1cb88e8c5",
latitude: nil,
longitude: nil
},
updated_at: ~N[2018-04-28 13:28:42.346392]
}}
What can I do to get this data into postgres?

Since you’re using an embed, you need to use either cast_embed/3 or put_embed/4 in your changeset. You could also, not use an embed, in which case you’re schema would have
field :json, :mapinstead ofembeds_one :json, Geodatajsonand your changeset would work fine.
