| 221 | + |
| 222 | +## Code Patterns & Examples |
| 223 | + |
| 224 | +### Ash Resource Pattern (SQLite) |
| 225 | + |
| 226 | +```elixir |
| 227 | +defmodule App.Portfolio.Transaction do |
| 228 | + use Ash.Resource, |
| 229 | + domain: App.Portfolio, |
| 230 | + data_layer: AshSqlite.DataLayer |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | + sqlite do |
| 233 | + table "transactions" |
| 234 | + repo App.Repo |
| 235 | + end |
| 236 | + |
| 237 | + attributes do |
| 238 | + uuid_primary_key :id |
| 239 | + attribute :type, :atom, allow_nil?: false |
| 240 | + attribute :quantity, :decimal, allow_nil?: false |
| 241 | + attribute :price, :decimal, allow_nil?: false |
| 242 | + attribute :date, :date, allow_nil?: false |
| 243 | + create_timestamp :inserted_at |
| 244 | + update_timestamp :updated_at |
| 245 | + end |
| 246 | + |
| 247 | + relationships do |
| 248 | + belongs_to :account, App.Portfolio.Account |
| 249 | + belongs_to :asset, App.Portfolio.Asset |
| 250 | + end |
| 251 | + |
| 252 | + # No user auth needed for local-only app initially |
| 253 | + policies do |
| 254 | + policy action_type(:*) do |
| 255 | + authorize_if always() |
| 256 | + end |
| 257 | + end |
| 258 | + |
| 259 | + calculations do |
| 260 | + calculate :total_value, :decimal, expr(quantity * price) |
| 261 | + end |
| 262 | +end |
| 263 | +``` |
| 264 | + |
| 265 | +### Local Market Data Caching |
| 266 | + |
| 267 | +```elixir |
| 268 | +defmodule App.MarketData.LocalCache do |
| 269 | + use GenServer |
| 270 | + |
| 271 | + # ETS table for hot price data |
| 272 | + def init(_) do |
| 273 | + :ets.new(:price_cache, [:set, :public, :named_table]) |
| 274 | + {:ok, %{last_update: nil}} |
| 275 | + end |
| 276 | + |
| 277 | + def get_price(symbol) do |
| 278 | + case :ets.lookup(:price_cache, symbol) do |
| 279 | + [{^symbol, price, timestamp}] -> {:ok, price, timestamp} |
| 280 | + [] -> fetch_and_cache_price(symbol) |
| 281 | + end |
| 282 | + end |
| 283 | + |
| 284 | + defp fetch_and_cache_price(symbol) do |
| 285 | + # Fetch from SQLite or external API |
| 286 | + # Cache in ETS for quick access |
| 287 | + end |
| 288 | +end |
| 289 | +``` |
| 290 | + |
| 291 | +### SQLite Configuration Pattern |
| 292 | + |
| 293 | +```elixir |
| 294 | +# config/config.exs |
| 295 | +config :app, App.Repo, |
| 296 | + database: "app_data.db", |
| 297 | + pool_size: 5, |
| 298 | + # Enable WAL mode for better concurrency |
| 299 | + pragma: [ |
| 300 | + journal_mode: :wal, |
| 301 | + synchronous: :normal, |
| 302 | + temp_store: :memory, |
| 303 | + mmap_size: 268_435_456, # 256MB |
| 304 | + cache_size: -64000 # 64MB cache |
| 305 | + ] |
| 306 | +``` |
| 307 | + |
| 308 | +## Common Decision Points & Guidance |
| 309 | + |
| 310 | +### When to Use SQLite vs In-Memory Storage |
| 311 | + |
| 312 | +- **Use SQLite**: Persistent data (transactions, accounts, settings), historical market data |
| 313 | +- **Use ETS**: Hot cache data (current prices), session state, calculated metrics |
| 314 | +- **Use GenServer State**: Temporary calculations, streaming data processing |
| 315 | + |
| 316 | +### Database Design Decisions (SQLite Specific) |
| 317 | + |
| 318 | +- **Use TEXT for JSON**: Store flexible metadata as JSON TEXT fields |
| 319 | +- **Use DECIMAL as TEXT**: Store financial amounts as text to avoid floating point errors |
| 320 | +- **Use Composite Indexes**: For common query patterns (user_id + date ranges) |
| 321 | +- **Use FOREIGN KEY Constraints**: Enable foreign key enforcement for data integrity |
| 322 | +- **Avoid Deep Nesting**: Keep table structure flat for SQLite performance |
| 323 | + |
| 324 | +### Caching Strategy (Local-First) |
| 325 | + |
| 326 | +- **ETS Tables**: Current prices, user preferences, calculated portfolio metrics |
| 327 | +- **SQLite**: Historical data, transactions, persistent settings |
| 328 | +- **File System**: Large datasets (CSV exports, backup files) |
| 329 | +- **Memory**: Temporary calculations, streaming operations |
| 330 | + |
| 331 | +### Local Data Management |
| 332 | + |
| 333 | +- **Single Database File**: Keep all data in one SQLite file for portability |
| 334 | +- **Backup Strategy**: Simple file copy with timestamp rotation |
| 335 | +- **Migration Strategy**: Version-controlled schema changes with rollback capability |
| 336 | +- **Import/Export**: Standard formats (CSV, JSON) for data interchange |
| 337 | + |
| 338 | +### Error Handling Patterns |
| 339 | + |
| 340 | +- **Use Ash Changesets**: For validation errors |
| 341 | +- **Use Phoenix ErrorView**: For HTTP error responses |
| 342 | +- **Use Telemetry**: For monitoring and alerting |
| 343 | +- **Use Circuit Breakers**: For external API failures |
| 344 | + |
| 345 | +## Key Libraries & Dependencies |
