# EctoNetwork
[](https://travis-ci.org/adam12/ecto_network)
Ecto types to support MACADDR and Network extensions provided by Postgrex.
Although this is primarily an Ecto library, it has a hard dependency on Postgrex
due to the types it is providing.
## Installation
1. Add `ecto_network` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[{:ecto_network, "~> 0.4.0"}]
end
```
2. Add Postgrex extensions for MACADDR and/or Network (INET, CIDR) to your Repo
config.
For Phoenix, you will want to update your environment-specific config files
(`config/dev.exs`, `config/test.exs`, `config/prod.exs`) and add the
extensions to the your Repo config.
```elixir
# Configure your database
config :your_app, YourApp.Repo,
adapter: Ecto.Adapters.Postgres,
extensions: [
{Postgrex.Extensions.MACADDR, nil},
{Postgrex.Extensions.Network, nil}
],
username: "",
password: "",
database: "yourapp_dev",
hostname: "localhost",
pool_size: 10
```
3. Create your migrations using the Postgres types as atoms.
```elixir
def change do
create table(:your_table) do
add :ip_address, :inet
add :mac_address, :macaddr
add :network, :cidr
end
end
```
4. Use the new types in your Ecto schemas.
```elixir
schema "your_table" do
field :ip_address, EctoNetwork.INET
field :mac_address, EctoNetwork.MACADDR
field :network, EctoNetwork.CIDR
end
```
