# Bylaw.Postgres
Postgres database validation adapter and checks for Bylaw.
This package owns `Bylaw.Db.Adapters.Postgres` and
`Bylaw.Db.Adapters.Postgres.Checks.*`. It also includes Ecto helper modules used
by the changeset constraint checks.
## Installation
Add `bylaw_postgres` to applications that want Postgres database-shape
validation:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:bylaw_postgres, "~> 0.1.0-alpha.1", only: [:dev, :test]}
]
end
```
`bylaw_postgres` depends on `bylaw_db`, `ecto_sql`, and `postgrex`; consuming
applications should already have an Ecto SQL repo and Postgres driver available.
## Usage
Most projects run database-shape checks from ExUnit after the test database has
been created and migrated:
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.BylawDbTest do
use ExUnit.Case, async: false
alias Bylaw.Db.Adapters.Postgres
@checks [
Bylaw.Db.Adapters.Postgres.Checks.MissingForeignKeyIndexes,
Bylaw.Db.Adapters.Postgres.Checks.MissingForeignKeyConstraints,
Bylaw.Db.Adapters.Postgres.Checks.ForeignKeyNullability,
Bylaw.Db.Adapters.Postgres.Checks.DuplicateIndexes
]
test "database structure satisfies Bylaw checks" do
assert :ok = Postgres.validate(MyApp.Repo, @checks)
end
end
```
`Postgres.validate/2` validates one repo per call. Pass `:dynamic_repo` to
`validate/3` when a specific dynamic repo should be inspected.
```elixir
test "tenant database structure satisfies Bylaw checks" do
assert :ok = Postgres.validate(MyApp.Repo, @checks, dynamic_repo: :tenant_one)
end
```
For multiple repos, make separate calls:
```elixir
test "database structure satisfies Bylaw checks" do
assert :ok = Postgres.validate(MyApp.Repo, @checks)
assert :ok = Postgres.validate(MyApp.AnalyticsRepo, @checks)
end
```
See each check module's documentation for its examples, notes, and options.
