Needle - Universal foreign keys, shared data fields, virtual and configurable schemas for Ecto
When using a relational DB (such an Ecto schema with a Postgres table), usually a foreign key field has to be pre-defined with a reference pointing to a specific field in a specific table.Elixir Programming Language Forum
Needle is one of several libraries we're releasing. Beyond creating extensions for Bonfire (like misinformation labeling or metadata extraction for scientific publications), we often need to build foundational functionality. We package these into reusable libraries for the wider Elixir ecosystem.
When using a relational DB (such an Ecto schema with a Postgres table), usually a foreign key field has to be pre-defined with a reference pointing to a specific field in a specific table.
2/6
A simple example would be a blogging app, which might have a post table with author field that references the user table.
A social network, by contrast, usually requires a graph of objects, meaning objects need to be able to refer to other objects by their ID without knowing their type.
A simple example would be likes, you might have a likes table with liked_post_id field that references the post table.
