Our ElixirDrip project allows users to safely store their media, and eventually share it with other users. Therefore, we need to have a way to represent users and media as database tables.
To help developers with this, Ecto has the schema construct. Its purpose is to establish a mapping between any information stored in the database and its representation in Elixir data structures.
Let's define the schema to represent the users' media:
$ cat apps/elixir_drip/lib/elixir_drip/storage/media.exdefmodule ElixirDrip.Storage.Media do use Ecto.Schema schema "storage_media" do field :user_id, :id field :file_name, :string field :full_path, :string field :file_size, :integer field :metadata, :map, default: %{} field :encryption_key, :string ...
