usage-rules.md for AI-assisted developement

This is a really great pattern! I deleted my mix.lock to make sure all of my Ash dependencies were updated to the latest version and pickup those sweet sweet usage rules. I'm really glad to see how the Elixir community is making great strides with regards to AI-assisted development. Didn't quite have the chance to see it in action yet, but I do love the idea!...

G on hexdocs

TIL from Wojtek's Rapid Prototyping in Elixir talk that pressing g on hexdocs enables searching packages he also said:

you kinda have to know what you're looking for, that is going to change perhaps, stay tuned

I think he is hinting on some AI suggestion feature. 😄 ...

Notifications don't send for bulk actions by default

When you do a single record action, notifications are published by default. However, when you do bulk actions, notifications are not published by default. If you want notifications published for bulk actions, you have to add bulk_options: [notify?: true] To avoid putting it on all call sites, you can set this as a default option on your Domain's code interface function opts....

Setting the default foreign key type in Ash!

The default foreign key type is :uuid, and you can change it with attribute_type on a relationship, eg.

belongs_to :class, MyApp.Characters.Class, attribute_type: :integer

belongs_to :class, MyApp.Characters.Class, attribute_type: :integer

Comparing Durations....

Wasn't today but have been working on adding :duration, Ash.Type.Duration to Ash as want it for my AshNeo4j datalayer, etc., and learned that while Durations can be added and subtracted, they aren't so easy to compare, particularly when larger inability to compare weeks and months without a reference instant. So we don't have a comparator on Durations, although durations small enough to convert to timeout (with Kernel to_timeout) can be. That said durations are really useful in expressions, in Ash we've added support so they can be added/subtracted from temporal types DateTime|Date|Time|NaiveDateTime which uses the respective shift, (subtract also uses Duration.negate()), with the result the same temporal type. Durations can be added and subtracted with result in duration. Durations can also be negated....

TIL that liveviews can share their assigns with nested liveviews

But only if the nested liveview isn't sticky! This is an optimization technique and shouldn't be relied on, but it's still pretty neat I think. https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix_live_view/1.0.9/Phoenix.Component.html#assign_new/3-when-connected...
