I’m struggling trying to setup a many_to_many relationship for Tags. I’d like to create an action that updates the tags by providing the tag name and not the id . I’d like it to use existing tag records if they already exist with that name or create new ones if they don’t already exist. I have the relationship working but it keeps trying to re-create the same tags. Is there a way to get Ash to lookup existing tags using the name value?
Minimal version of my code:
defmodule Catalog.Tag do
...
attributes do
uuid_primary_key :id
attribute :name, :string do
allow_nil? false
end
end
identities do
identity :unique_tag, :name
end
end
defmodule Catalog.ProductTag do
...
attributes do
uuid_primary_key :id
end
identities do
identity :unique_product_tag, [:product_id, :tag_id]
end
relationships do
belongs_to(:product, Shopkeeper.Catalog.Product)
belongs_to(:tag, Shopkeeper.Catalog.Tag)
end
end
defmodule Catalog.Product do
...
actions do
...
update :set_tags do
accept([])
argument(:tags, {:array, :map}, allow_nil?: false)
change(
manage_relationship(
:tags,
on_lookup: :relate,
on_no_match: :create,
on_match: :ignore,
on_missing: :unrelate
)
)
end
end
relationships do
many_to_many(:tags, Catalog.Tag) do
through Catalog.ProductTag
source_attribute_on_join_resource :product_id
destination_attribute_on_join_resource :tag_id
end
end
end
When running these commands I get the following error:
iex(6)> {:ok, product} = Product.set_tags(product, [%{name: "My Tag"}])
iex(7)> {:ok, product} = Product.set_tags(product, [%{name: "My Tag"}])

I’d expect this to be a no-op instead as the tag has already been assigned.

You need to specify the
