It allows developers to compose queries without caring about Query above could also be written as: query = from q in query, select : q. cityīindings in Ecto are positional, and the names do not have to beĬonsistent between input and refinement queries. To further narrow down the above query, we again need to tell Ecto whatīindings to expect: query = from u in query, select : u. Must specify bindings again for each refinement query. age > 18īindings are not exposed from the query. In the query below u is aīinding and u.age is a field access using this binding. This isĭone inside from and join clauses. On the left-hand side of in we specify the query bindings. Queries are always composable thanks to its binding system. In any case, regardless if a schema has been given or not, Ecto
Implemented for both atoms (like User) and strings (like "users"). On the right-hand side of in, we passed the query itself.Īny value can be used on the right-hand side of in as long as it implements The difference is that, instead of passing a schema like User nameĬomposing queries uses the same syntax as creating a query. age > 18 # Extend the query query = from u in query, select : u. For example, the query above canĪctually be defined in two parts: # Create a query query = from u in User, where : u. Use is_nil/1 instead: from u in User, where : is_nil ( u.
This is done as a security measure to avoid attacks that attempt Nil comparison in filters, such as where and having, is forbiddenĪnd it will raise an error: # Raises if age is nil from u in User, where : u. Remember Ecto does not require them in order to write queries. age > ^ age )įor this reason, we will use schemas on the remaining examples but The select option in queries, as by default Ecto will retrieve allįields specified in the schema: age = "18" Repo. name )Īnother advantage of using schemas is that we no longer need to specify In such cases, Ecto will analyze your queries andĪutomatically cast the interpolated "age" when compared to the u.ageįield, as long as the age field is defined with type :integer in To avoid the repetition of always specifying the types, you may defineĪn Ecto.Schema. In the example above, Ecto will cast the age to type integer. age > type ( ^ age, :integer ), select : u. What is the expected type of the value being interpolated: age = "18" Repo. When interpolating values, you may want to explicitly tell Ecto height > ^ ( height_ft * 3.28 ), select : u.
Strings: "foo bar", ~s(this is a string).

You can find the full list of operations in .īesides the operations listed there, the following literals are > comparison operator and the literal 0: query = from u in "users", where : u.
Query below, for example, we use u.age to access a field, the In the example above, we are directly querying the "users" tableĮcto allows a limited set of expressions inside queries. name # Send the query to the repository Repo. Let's see a sample query: # Imports only from/2 of Ecto.Query import Ecto.Query, only : # Create a query query = from u in "users", where : u. The macro one will be explored in later sections. Most examples will use the keyword-based syntax, Ecto queries come in two flavors: keyword-basedĪnd macro-based. Queries are used to retrieve and manipulate data from a repository Settings View Source Ecto.Query (Ecto v3.8.4)
