Understanding Ecto Named Bindings in Elixir Queries

The article by Bartosz Górka dives into the importance of creating reusable and maintainable queries in Elixir using Ecto. It begins by emphasizing the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle and introduces dynamic queries as a way to reduce repetitive SQL code. The article explains the limitations of positional bindings in query building, such as the risk of confusing the order when dealing with large queries. To address this, it introduces named bindings, demonstrating how they can make the code more readable and easier to maintain by removing the need to know variable positions. The article concludes by encouraging the use of named bindings and refers to the Ecto.Query module documentation for further reading.
