AshPhoenix checkboxes acting wonky

My form (slightly abbreviated): ``` <.form for={@form} id="storefront-form"...

Solution:

Had claude check my input components against a fresh phx.new core components and now it all works. Thank you for that (in hindsight) obvious place to look. I have been debugging like crazy lol.

Membership FilterCheck

Hello lovely people 👋 I’ve been working on a custom SpaceMemberFilter policy check (using Ash.Policy.FilterCheck) with a goal to authorize access if the actor is a member of the space associated with a given resource (optionally filtered by actor’s role in given space). I took inspiration from Ash.Policy.Check.RelatesToActorVia, but instead of comparing to a single actor ID, I need to check whether the resource’s space_id is in the list of the actor’s valid space memberships....

Currently, the query returns nothing when there is no user logged in. But I would like it to return an authentication error.

AshAi tool calling

I have a weird case where most of the fields are arrays, and when the ai triggers a tool call it checks equality instead of inclusive-ity, is there a way to combat this. it's using the underlying filter option so I think it know that the attribute is an array but it's using equality [:eq] instead...

Tenant registration on sign-in.

Can someone point me in the right direction to implement the below flow for GitHub-only auth? Case 1: User exists and belongs to an org -> User is signed in via GitHub ...

Solution:

If not, then you can just put something in the router for if the user is signed in but has no organization_id they get sent to a different page

Prevent accessing route if logged in

Is it possible to prevent a user from accessing a page if already logged in? I remember vanilla Phoenix having something like :redirect_if_user_authenticated but I can't find the Ash way to achieve this....

Solution:

You could do it at the router level, but you could also add a policy on the action

Confusion with before_transaction timing and doing changes before manage_relationship

Hello, I am basically trying to use the data from a third party API call to create a related resource in manage_relationship. Reading the doc I decided that it would make sense to call the API in a before_transaction hook. The docs is stating the following execution order for a create action: ```...

Solution:

Changes/validations run and then when you call the action before_transaction hooks are the first hooks to run

Conversion of strings with just whitespace when storing in postgres

We are moving data from old systems to a new system and noted that one entry had a tax number of " ". Now, that is not a valid tax number, but we realized that the corresponding DB row has a value of null instead. Is this the default behaviour for strings that contain only whitespace? Is there an option to disable this behaviour and what are the caveats if we do?...
