ChangesetHelpers
This library provides a set of helper functions to work with Ecto Changesets.
put_assoc(changeset, keys, value)
Puts the given nested association in the changeset through a given list of field names.
ChangesetHelpers.put_assoc(account_changeset, [:user, :config, :address], address_changeset)
Instead of giving a Changeset or a schema as the third argument, a function may also be given in order to modify the nested changeset in one go.
ChangesetHelpers.put_assoc(account_changeset, [:user, :articles],
&(Enum.concat(&1, [%Article{} |> Ecto.Changeset.change()])))
In the code above, we change a new empty Article, and add the changeset into the articles association (typically done when we want to add a new row of form inputs to add an entity into a form handling a nested collection of entities).
change_assoc(struct_or_changeset, keys, changes \\ %{})
Returns the nested association in a changeset. This function will first look into the changes and then fails back on data wrapped in a changeset.
Changes may be added to the given changeset through the third argument.
A tuple is returned containing the modified root changeset and the changeset of the association.
{account_changeset, address_changeset} =
change_assoc(account_changeset, [:user, :user_config, :address], %{street: "Foo street"})
fetch_field(changeset, keys)
Fetches the given nested field from changes or from the data.
{:changes, street} =
ChangesetHelpers.fetch_field(account_changeset, [:user, :config, :address, :street])
fetch_field!(changeset, keys)
Same as fetch_field/2
but returns the value or raises if the given nested key was not found.
street = ChangesetHelpers.fetch_field!(account_changeset, [:user, :config, :address, :street])
fetch_change(changeset, keys)
Fetches the given nested field from changes or from the data.
{:ok, street} =
ChangesetHelpers.fetch_change(account_changeset, [:user, :config, :address, :street])
fetch_change!(changeset, keys)
Same as fetch_change/2
but returns the value or raises if the given nested key was not found.
street = ChangesetHelpers.fetch_change!(account_changeset, [:user, :config, :address, :street])
diff_field(changeset1, changeset2, keys)
This function allows checking if a given field is different in two changesets.
{street_changed, street1, street2} =
diff_field(account_changeset, new_account_changeset, [:user, :user_config, :address, :street])
add_error(changeset, keys, message, extra \\ [])
Adds an error to the nested changeset.
ChangesetHelpers.add_error(account_changeset, [:user, :articles, :error_key], "Some error")
