Hierarch helps you to build tree structure(hierarchy) for ecto models with ltree(Postgres).
## Installation
Add `hierarch` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:hierarch, "~> 0.2.0"}
]
end
```
Enable ltree extension:
```elixir
execute "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS ltree"
```
Add GIST index:
```elixir
create index(:catelogs, [:path], using: "GIST")
```
## Example
### Set `types` at config/config.exs or your environment config file
```elixir
config :my_app, MyApp.Repo,
adapter: Ecto.Adapters.Postgres,
types: Hierarch.Postgrex.Types
```
### Write a migration for this functionality
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Repo.Migrations.CreateCatelogs do
use Ecto.Migration
def change do
execute "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS ltree" # Enables Ltree action
create table(:catelogs, primary_key: false) do
add :id, :uuid, primary_key: true # the primary key is UUID
add :name, :string
add :path, :ltree
timestamps()
end
create index(:catelogs, [:path], using: "GIST") # Add GIST index to query
end
end
```
### Use Hierarch in your schema
Options:
- path_column (default: `:path`): the name of the database column which stores hierarchy data;
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Catelog do
use Ecto.Schema
use Hierarch
@primary_key {:id, :binary_id, autogenerate: true}
schema "catelogs" do
field :name, :string
field :path, Hierarch.Ecto.UUIDLTree # Set to `UUIDLTree` if the path is ltree type
timestamps()
end
end
```
### 🔢Use Hierarch with `bigint` or `integer` primary key, and custom path_column
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Repo.Migrations.CreateOrganizations do
use Ecto.Migration
def change do
execute "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS ltree" # Enables Ltree action
create table(:organizations) do
add :name, :string
add :ancestry, :ltree, null: false, default: ""
end
create index(:organizations, [:ancestry], using: "GIST")
end
end
```
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Organization do
@moduledoc false
use Ecto.Schema
use Hierarch, path_column: :ancestry # set path_column
schema "organizations" do
field :name, :string
field :ancestry, Hierarch.Ecto.LTree # Use LTree for bigint or integer primary key
end
end
```
## Usage
### `build_child_of/2`
Take the parent struct and attributes struct, return a child struct.
```elixir
parent = %Catelog{
id: "570526aa-e2f3-49a7-870a-c150d3bf6ac9",
name: "Top",
path: ""
}
catelog = Catelog.build_child_of(parent, %{name: "Top.Science"})
# %Catelog{
# id: nil,
# name: "Top.Science",
# path: "570526aa-e2f3-49a7-870a-c150d3bf6ac9"
# }
```
### `is_root?/1`
Detect a struct whether a root.
```elixir
catelog = %Catelog{
id: "570526aa-e2f3-49a7-870a-c150d3bf6ac9",
name: "Top",
path: ""
}
Catelog.is_root?(catelog) # true
```
### `parent/1`
Return the parent query expression of the given struct, return `nil` if it is the root.

Catelog.parent(catelog) |> Repo.one # nil
```
### `root/1`
