Launch of Drops.Relation for Simplifying Database Relations in Elixir

Source: solnic.dev

Type: Post

Drops.Relation is a new library added to the Elixir Drops suite that bridges the gap between Ecto and application-level data handling. It automates the creation of Ecto schemas through introspection of database tables, and offers a query API that emphasizes simplicity and powerful composition. The library significantly reduces boilerplate code, allowing developers to define database relations and queries more efficiently. Key features include automatic schema inference for database entities, familiar Ecto repository functions made more accessible, and advanced query composition capabilities. Users can define reusable query functions with the library's macros, and future releases are set to enhance its functionality further. The library is designed to make application development faster and maintenance easier, and is currently in its early stages, welcoming community feedback.
