TagsMultiTenant allows you to manage tags associated to your records.
It also allows you to specify various contexts
- Add
tags_multi_tenant
to your list of dependencies inmix.exs
:
def deps do
[{:tags_multi_tenant, "~> 0.1.16"}]
end
- Configure TagsMultiTenant to use your repo in
config/config.exs
:
# Options
# taggable_id - This field is default :integer, but you can set it as :uuid
config :tags_multi_tenant,
repo: ApplicationName.Repo,
taggable_id: :integer
- Install your dependencies:
mix deps.get
- Generate the migrations:
mix TagsMultiTenant.install
This will create two migration files, xxxxx_create_tag.exs and xxxxx_create_tagging.exs. You can leave these in the repo/migrations directory if you are:
* not using a multi-tenant database
* using a multi-tenant database, but prefer to leave the tagging in the 'public' schema
If you prefer to use the multi-tenant features, you will need to move the two migration files to the tenant_migrations
directory prior to applying the migrations.
- Run the migrations:
mix ecto.migrate
If you are using the Triplex package to manage multi-tenant migrations, you can use
mix triplex.migrate
to migrate these migrations.
Now, you can use the library in your models.
You should add the next line to your taggable model:
use TagsMultiTenant.TagAs, :tag_context_name
i.e.:
defmodule Post do
use Ecto.Schema
use TagsMultiTenant.TagAs, :categories
import Ecto.Changeset
schema "posts" do
field :title, :string
field :body, :boolean
timestamps()
end
def changeset(struct, params \\ %{}) do
struct
|> cast(params, [:title, :body])
|> validate_required([:title])
end
end
As you can see, we have included the context categories
Now we can use a set of metaprogrammed functions:
If you are using the plugin as a single tenant setup, the following functions will work.
Post.add_category(struct, tag)
- Passing a persisted struct will allow you to associate a new tag
Post.add_categories(struct, tags)
- Passing a persisted struct will allow you to associate a new list of tags
Post.add_category(tag)
- Add a Tag without associate it to a persisted struct, this allow you have tags availables in the context. Example using Post.categories
Post.remove_category(struct, tag)
- Will allow you to remove the relation struct - tag
, but the tag will persist.
Post.remove_category(tag)
- Will allow you to remove a tag in the context Post - category
. Tag and relations with Post will be deleted.
Post.rename_category(old_tag, new_tag)
- Will allow you to rename the tag name.
Post.categories_list(struct)
- List all associated tags with the given struct
Post.categories
- List all associated tags with the module
Post.categories_queryable
- Same as Post.categories
but it returns a queryable
instead of a list.
Post.tagged_with_category(tag)
- Search for all resources tagged with the given tag
Post.tagged_with_categories(tags)
- Search for all resources tagged with the given list tag
Post.tagged_with_query_category(queryable, tags)
- Allow to concatenate ecto queries and return the query.
Post.tagged_with_query_categories(queryable, tags)
- Same than previous function but allow to receive a list of tags
If you are using the plugin in a multi-tenant environment, then each function accepts 'opts' in order to pass the 'prefix' value to the database. Here is an example of passing tenant value as prefix.
Post.add_category(struct, tag, prefix: 'client_test')
- Passing a persisted struct will allow you to associate a new tag
If you want you can use directly:
