# Flexto
Configuration-driven Ecto Schemas.
## Usage
Example Schema:
```elixir
defmodule My.Schema do
use Ecto.Schema
import Flexto, only: [flex_schema: 1]
schema "my_table" do
field :name, :string # just normal schema things
flex_schema(:my_app) # boom! give me the stuff
end
end
```
Example configuration
```elixir
config :my_app, My.Schema,
belongs_to: [
foo: Foo, # belongs_to :foo, Foo
bar: {Bar, type: :integer}, # belongs_to :bar, Bar, type: :integer
],
field: [
foo: :string, # field :foo, :string
bar: {:integer, default: 4}, # field :foo, :integer, default: 4
],
has_one: [
foo: Foo, # has_one :foo, Foo
bar: {Bar, foreign_key: :the_bar_id}, # has_one :bar, Bar, foreign_key: :the_bar_id
]
has_many: [
foo: Foo, # has_many :foo, Foo
bar: {Bar, foreign_key: :the_bar_id}, # has_many :bar, Bar, foreign_key: :the_bar_id
]
many_to_many: [
foo: Foo, # many_to_many :foo, Foo
bar: {Bar, join_through: FooBar}, # many_to_many :bar, Bar, :join_through: FooBar
]
```
This one won't work very well because we define `foo` and `bar` 5
times each, but I think you get the point.
Reading of configuration is done during compile time. The relations
will be baked in during compilation, thus:
* Do not expect this to work in release config.
* You will need to rebuild all dependencies which use this macro
when you change their configuration.
