Is there a way to detect running in "seed data" mode?
I added a custom GenServer that doesn't need to start when installing seed data using:

How might an Ash application know that it was invoked in a utility mode and not completely start itself?...Solution:
Its not an Ash specific thing though

You can create in a
before_action hook and use that to update the recordOptimistic updates / syncing with AshEvents
hello! I am prototyping a new project using Ash, AshEvents, and AshStateMachine. It fulfills all of the requirements, save a big one: we need our application to support mutations when the client is offline, with eventual consistency.
this leads to two problems:
- is there any way to export / separately compile ash resource definitions in some way to be run on a client for optimistic edits, without duplicating the transitions / actions?
- when a client returns online, is there a way to retroactively add events to the event log and then replay them? i.e. if an online client performs action A, then the offline client performs B, then the online client performs C, we'd like to generate the resource state in the order of A -> B -> C rather than A -> C -> B once the client syncs. It's not entirely clear from the documentation what happens during replay if the event log now contains events where applying them causes errors, such as illegal state transitions....

Error when using before_action hook to set required relationship attribute
I'm using a before action to lookup and set the
:state_id by the state's name or code.
However, the change doesn't seem to be running as I never see the Logger.debugs and I get changeset errors that :state_id is required.

Hey there!
I'm trying out ash_sqlite on a toy project, and I'm encountering an issue which seems to boil down to querying a calculation defined as inline elixir code.
Here is the error (full stacktrace in the next post), followed by some relevant code. Happy to add more context if required....
Solution:
You can't filter on calculations that don't define an expression
Counting Related Records with a Virtual Field in a Multi-Tenant app
In a multi-tenant application, when retrieving records from the database using a read action, is there a way to define a virtual field that counts the number of records in the database?
For example, something like:

I'm considering using
ash_geo, but noticed it doesn't use the same patterns extensions like ash_money for installing postgres extensions and types. I know it's not owned by the ash-project org, but wanted to see what people thing about giving it an overhaul to have a nicer installation experience and follow current extension patterns.How do cleanly do action accepts for resources with a lot of attributes without `:*`?
With
:* being deprecated in the future major version of Ash. Will you have to put all attributes in the accepts for the actions need to support all attributes?
The answer very well may be you just have to list all the attributes in the action. But wanted to check....Solution:
