Overview
Ecto is Elixir’s database wrapper and query generator providing a composable API for database interactions with strong compile-time guarantees.
Getting Started
Before diving into Ecto development, get up and running:
- Initial Setup - Install Elixir, Ecto, PostgreSQL, configure database connection
- Quick Start - Your first schema, basic queries, essential patterns
These foundational tutorials (0-30% coverage) prepare you for comprehensive Ecto learning.
What You’ll Learn
- Schemas - Define database tables as Elixir structs
- Queries - Compose type-safe database queries with Ecto.Query
- Changesets - Validate and transform data before database operations
- Associations - Model relationships between tables (belongs_to, has_many, many_to_many)
- Migrations - Version control database schema changes
- Transactions - Ensure data consistency with Ecto.Multi
