EctoTrail

EctoTrail allows to store changeset changes into a separate audit_log table.

Installation and usage

1. Add ecto_trail to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

  def deps do
    [{:ecto_trail, "~> 0.4.0"}]
  end

1. Ensure ecto_trail is started before your application:

  def application do
    [extra_applications: [:ecto_trail]]
  end

1. Add a migration that creates audit_log table to priv/repo/migrations folder:

  defmodule EctoTrail.TestRepo.Migrations.CreateAuditLogTable do
    @moduledoc false
    use Ecto.Migration

    def change do
      create table(:audit_log, primary_key: false) do
        add :id, :uuid, primary_key: true
        add :actor_id, :string, null: false
        add :resource, :string, null: false
        add :resource_id, :string, null: false
        add :changeset, :map, null: false

        timestamps([type: :utc_datetime, updated_at: false])
      end
    end
  end

1. Use EctoTrail in your repo:

  defmodule MyApp.Repo do
    use Ecto.Repo, otp_app: :my_app
    use EctoTrail
  end

1. Configure table name which is used to store audit log (in config.ex):

  config :ecto_trail, table_name: "audit_log"

1. Use logging functions instead of defaults. See EctoTrail module docs.
