Using ex_money_sql with Ash

I'm hoping to use the

Money

Money

type defined in the

ex_money

ex_money

library as an attribute in Ash resources. This library has a companion,

ex_money_sql

ex_money_sql

that creates a Postgres migration and creates a custom type:

  def up do
    execute("CREATE TYPE public.money_with_currency AS (currency_code varchar, amount numeric);")
  end

  def up do
    execute("CREATE TYPE public.money_with_currency AS (currency_code varchar, amount numeric);")
  end

In the documentation, there's a

Money

Money

struct, a

:money_with_currency

:money_with_currency

, a

Money.Ecto.Composite.Type

Money.Ecto.Composite.Type

all used in various places. I'm very new to Elixir, Ash, and Ecto so it's all a bit confusing.

I'm assuming I need a Custom Ash Type (right?), but not sure which identifiers mean what - for example, the existing examples for an Ash custom type all use an atom like

:map

:map

:string

:string

for

storage_type

storage_type

, but it isn't clear to me how they get defined, and if Ash would be able to see custom types in Postgres. Should I bypass the

_sql

_sql

library and roll my own

:map

:map

-based solution?
