defmodule AshObjectIds do
@moduledoc """
An extension for working with object IDs.
Object IDs are identifiers that are prefixed with the resource they identify.
A more detailed explanation can be found in the ["Designing APIs for
humans"](https://dev.to/stripe/designing-apis-for-humans-object-ids-3o5a) blog post.
This library provides an implementation for Ash:
defmodule App.Blog.Post do
use Ash.Resource,
domain: App.Blog,
data_layer: Ash.DataLayer.AshPostgres,
extensions: [AshObjectIds]
object_id do
prefix "p"
end
attributes do
uuid_primary_key(:id)
# ... other attributes
end
end
`AshObjectIds` replaces the `:id` primary key with an object ID (prefixed by "p").
The underlying UUID implementation will be used, so it works with both UUID
and UUIDv7. The IDs are stored as regular UUIDs in the database. Externally,
the UUIDs are encoded as "{prefix}_{base58(uuid)}".
Each resource will have a generated `<resource>.ObjectId` module which is the
`Ash.Type` for that ID. This can then be used with `belongs_to` relationships:
relationships do
belongs_to :post, App.Blog.Post, attribute_type: App.Blog.Post.ObjectId
end
