OeditusCredo.Check.Warning.DirectStructUpdate (OeditusCredo v0.6.0)

Basics

This check has a base priority of normal and works with any version of Elixir.

Explanation

Use changesets instead of direct struct updates for data validation.

Direct struct updates bypass validation and can lead to invalid data in the database.

Bad:

user = %User{user | email: new_email}
Map.put(user, :email, new_email)

Good:

user
|> User.changeset(%{email: new_email})
|> Repo.update()
