Exercise: Create Schemas in Ecto
Practice how to create an Ecto schema from scratch in this challenge.
We'll cover the following
Problem statement
Sometimes, an album can be published several different times. For example, it might have its original release on CD, later come out on vinyl, and later have a remastered version. We want to add a new table to our music database to store these different releases.
The table will be called releases
and will have the following columns:
id
(primary key)title
(string)release_date
(date)format
(string)
We also want a has_many
relationship between albums
and releases
, and a reciprocal belongs_to
relationship between releases
and albums
.
Code challenge
Use Ecto’s schema API to create a schema for the releases
table. It should have the correct data types for each column and define the correct association with albums
.
