I’m structuring an application using an umbrella app, as of now there are 2 apps
- web: handling auth and api endpoints
- backend (not really called backend) running application logic
both have ecto installed, what I wanted to do is to use ecto prefixes to separated the two apps but having a common database setting.
For example, in my root app I have
config :app, :database_url, System.get_env("DATABASE_URL") || "postgres://localhost/app"
and in my sub-apps I’ve tried with
config :app_backend, App.Backend.Repo,
adapter: Ecto.Adapters.Postgres,
url: Application.get_env(:app, :database_url)
however it always returns nil
, is there a way to solve this?
