Phoenix Form default values

Hey everyone,
I’m new to Elixir and Phoenix and I’m currently working on a very simple Phoenix application.
While working on the Form for Users to sing up, a problem came up.
At the moment users can set their own score, but should not be possible.
How can I set a default score for each new user that then gets written to the database?

User sign up would typically have two phases in a User Controller:

  • new prepares the information to be shown on the sign up page.
  • create takes the information entered on the sign up page and prepares it for insertion into the database.

So it would be Accounts.register_user(user_params) (under create) responsibility to set any “default” values. The score wouldn’t be in the user_params as the user can’t set it. But register_user would “know” what default score to set.
