User Changeset

Create a User schemaless changeset that validates a user.

A user struct should have the following fields.

• username (required) a 3-12 character string.
• password (required) a 12-50 character string.
• age an integer.
• birthdate a date.
• terms_and_conditions (required) a boolean which must be true.

Example Solution

defmodule User do
  defstruct [:username, :password, :age, :birthdate, :terms_and_conditions]

  @types %{
    username: :string,
    password: :string,
    age: :integer,
    birthdate: :date,
    terms_and_conditions: :boolean
  }

  def changeset(%__MODULE__{} = user, params) do
    {user, @types}
    |> Ecto.Changeset.cast(params, Map.keys(@types))
    |> Ecto.Changeset.validate_required([:username, :password])
    |> Ecto.Changeset.validate_length(:username, min: 3, max: 12)
    |> Ecto.Changeset.validate_length(:password, min: 12, max: 50)
    |> Ecto.Changeset.validate_acceptance(:terms_and_conditions)
  end

  def new(params) do
    %__MODULE__{}
    |> changeset(params)
    |> Ecto.Changeset.apply_action(:update)
  end
end

defmodule User do

Sign Up Form

You’re going to create a SignUp application that validates user data with a sign up form. Create a sign up form with appropriate form fields for the User changeset.

$ mix phx.new sign_up

Use the User changeset to provide error feedback on each of the form inputs :username, :password, :age, :birthdate, and :terms_and_conditions.
