ActiveMemory v0.3.1

View Source ActiveMemory (ActiveMemory v0.3.1)

Bring the power of in memory storage with ETS and Mnesia to your Elixir application.

ActiveMemory provides a simple interface and configuration which abstracts the ETS and Mnesia specifics and provides a common interface called a Store.

example-setup

 Example setup

  1. Define a Table with attributes.
  2. Define a Store with configuration settings or accept the defaults (most applications should be fine with defaults).
  3. Add the Store to your application supervision tree.

Your app is ready!

Example Mnesia (default table type) Table:

defmodule Test.Support.People.Person do
  use ActiveMemory.Table,
    options: [index: [:last, :cylon?]]

  attributes do
    field :email
    field :first
    field :last
    field :hair_color
    field :age
    field :cylon?
  end
end

Example ETS Table:

defmodule Test.Support.People.Person do
  use ActiveMemory.Table,
    options: [index: [:last, :cylon?]],
    type: :ets

  attributes do
    field :email
    field :first
    field :last
    field :hair_color
    field :age
    field :cylon?
  end
end

Example Store:

defmodule MyApp.People.Store do
use ActiveMemory.Store,
  table: MyApp.People.Person,
  before_init: [function: [arg1, arg2]]
end

Add the Store to your application supervision tree:

defmodule MyApp.Application do
# code..
def start(_type, _args) do
  children = [
    # other children
    MyApp.People.Store,
    # other children
  ]
  # code..
end
