Forgotten `change` in update action leads to hours of troubleshooting and sadness

I forgot a change in front of a set_attribute in an update action and nothing really reacted to that except that the attribute wasn't set. Is there a flag I can set somewhere to have Spark or Ash or something crash loudly at me when I use keywords in wrong places? Sad code: ```elixir update :set_family do...

Server-side params for AshPhoenix Form

Sometimes I will have an AshPhoenix form to create or update a resource, and I want some of the fields to be provided from the server and not set or visible on the client. Sometimes these are coming from uploads, other times it's computed from other state. What is the best way to provide this data to validate and submit? So far I've been defining a form_params(socket, params) helper that injects/overrides various params before passing the result to validate/submit. This has worked OK but feels wrong, and today I ran into an issue of having to reverse-engineer how AshPhoenix expects unions to work. Appreciate any insight and guidance y'all can provide!...

Anonymous users with AshAuthentication

Context As a part of the app I'm currently building, there will be anonymous users as well as "authenticated" users that log in with email and password or other strategies. Authenticated users will create entities that can be shared through generating a public link. Anyone with the link will be able to view and comment on the entity created by the authenticated user. However, the comments still need to be tied to a user because only they should be able to do things like delete or edit sent comments. Question Does anyone have a recommended way to handle anonymous users? ...

Completely delete a resource

Hi everyone. If I fully want to delete a resource (tables and everything). What do I need to do? Do I just delete every mention of it in my code (it's resource module, code interfaces etc) and run codegen? Or is there a different way? Thank you

Solution:

You can do as you described, but then do mix ecto.gen.migration and add the ecto code there to drop the migration

Can not access to actor from token in create action

Hi sorry, I think I might be making a silly mistake somewhere. As you can see, I don’t have access to the actor in the create action — it’s always nil. However, I don’t have this issue in the read action, where I can access the actor without any problems. ```elixir create :register_with_password do description "Register a new user with a email and password."...

Solution:

i think i found it i am deleting it in my custom plug

How can show calculate as fields object in Swaggerui

Hi sorry, i made my calculate public and i can see in the example of Success Responses but inside fields object it just shows the attributes! and user has to change it by his hand and add the calculate name . if i change this manually in the fields object text aria it works! Is there a way to show calculate as fields inside this text aria as default? or i should change the AshJsonApiRouter? Thank you in advance...

Solution:

But it does look like that open api schema is wrong. Issue/PR welcome 🙂

Json API for `request_password_reset_token` auth

Hi, sorry; I'm trying to create an endpoint for request_password_reset_token so that the user can send a password reset request. But the issue I'm facing seems to be that the structure isn't compatible with what the JSON API expects, and as a result, it throws an error. I wanted to know if there's a way to do this at this stage without changing the action itself? ```elixir post :request_password_reset_token do route "/reset_request"...

Solution:

So you need to use route ...
