Testing liveviews requiring users to be logged in.

I'm only using the magic link strategy and I'm following the test setup from tunez to configure my tests. However, I'm getting this error - ** (KeyError) key :token not found in: %{selected: [:id, :role, :email, :updated_at, :inserted_at, :organization_id]} when I try to create a user and sign it in for the test. this is the test: ...

Solution:

Solved the issue. registration is disabled, so I had do create a user with a regular create action. then to sign in I had to perform the following incantation: ``` strategy = AshAuthentication.Info.strategy!(MyApp.Accounts.User, :magic_link) {:ok, token} = AshAuthentication.Strategy.MagicLink.request_token_for(strategy, user)...

Zipper replace and Rewrite

I'm playing around with igniter trying to figure this out. Not sure if on the right track. :thinkies: Let's say I got to a change block and I Sourceror.Zipper.replace replaced the third argument with a module that I will also create. I was thinking of doing like a git diff, which I think diff_and_yes? function does. But I can't figure out how does this relate to rewrite/source. ...

Solution:

You can use Igniter.do_or_dry_run

Shared Validations

Where are shared validations typically stored? For example, say I have a User resource that has an email that has format and length requirements. Say there was a second resource where I wanted to share those same validations. Where would I store that? Normally I would put it in the MyApp.Accounts.User.Validations.Email module, but I'm not sure if that's appropriate to share across resources as a validation. The only alternative I can think of is having something like `MyApp.Accounts.Shared...

Solution:

There's no hard rule, but for me it's typically just MyApp.Domain.Validations...

Best way to run bulk ops in a transaction

I’m new to Ash, and I have a fairly simple code problem. I need to delete all the records for a resource for a given user and then bulk create new ones of the same resource for the same user. I want these two bulk operations to be in a transaction so they’re rolled back on error. I’ve been able to do this in a generic action by using bulk_destroy followed by bulk_create. However, I’ve not been able to figure out how to do this in a multi-step way by using callbacks (to delete first) which seems like it would be the Ash way. Am I missing something or is a generic action the way to go?...

Does `mix ash.codegen` generate drop migrations for deleted resources

I'm removing a couple resources and after deleting them mix ash.codegen says everything is up-to-date

Solution:

it does not, you'll have to do your own migrations for that currently

AshGraphQL bulk upsert

I wanted to expose a bulk action on graphql, and there are no available options in create macro, My main concern is argument type generation, if not for that, I could write a custom handler, Is there a better way to handle this?

Solution:

Currently there is no builtin way

manage_relationship: Get changes in related records

My Invoice resource has many Items. Every item calculates its total in a change. I want to calculate the sum of those totals in the invoice but cannot find a way to read the full items, only the input.

Reactor persistence and user tasks

I have a fairly involved saga I want to implement that I have currently as adhoc liveviews but that I want to make a bit more robust. Reactor seems fairly good for this (although I don't really need rollbacks). This saga includes both automated tasks (call some APIs, generate some data) and user-led steps, where the user has to interact with some stuff. Is this something that reactor would be good for? Would you create a model that stores the current step in the DB and then restarts from the nex...

How to model context based multitenancy?

What would be the best approach to load the tenant info into the user when working with context base multitenancy? - If I use global? true I can log in without knowing the tenant, but I'm not sure what the best strategy to fetch the tenant into after - or during - sign in, given the current_user has no tenant data - If I use global? false I need the tenant info before sign in, which can be work. I just need to figure it out how to build the magic link with the tenant subdomain - probably a phoenix question though. Should I define my user resource as?...

Solution:

Yes you should likely do that 🙂
