How to use "case-when" in Ecto Queries in elixir?
Like the comment said, you can use fragment/1
:
query = from t in <Model>, select: fragment("SUM(CASE WHEN status = ? THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)", 2)
If you want to specify the table, this works for me:
query = from t in <Model>, select: fragment("SUM(CASE WHEN ? = ? THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)", t.status, 2)
You can also leverage on macros to extend Ecto query language:
defmacro case_when(condition, do: then_expr, else: else_expr) do
quote do
fragment(
"CASE WHEN ? THEN ? ELSE ? END",
unquote(condition),
unquote(then_expr),
unquote(else_expr)
)
end
end
Then use it like this:
query = from t in <Model>,
select: case_when t.status == 2
do 1
else 0
end
