EctoTypes

A small collection of types I've reused across more than one project.

Token

A simple token that can be used in a url as a surrogate key. Includes a 10-bit checksum to avoid even querying the database if invalid. Stored in the database as a native UUID field for query/index performance and overall reduction in storage space.

U.S. Phone Number

Handles the phone number format used in the United States and Canada. Expects input as a binary but stores data as a bigint for query/index performance and overall reduction in storage space.

U.S. Postal Code

Soon.

Installation

Not currently available via hex but accessible through github by adding ecto_types to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
