AshPostgres supports all the capabilities of an Ash data layer. AshPostgres is the primary Ash data layer.

Custom Predicates:

- `AshPostgres.Predicates.Trigram`

## DSL

See the DSL documentation in `AshPostgres.DataLayer` for DSL documentation

## Usage

Add `ash_postgres` to your `mix.exs` file.

```elixir
{:ash_postgres, "~> 1.3.6"}
```

To use this data layer, you need to chage your Ecto Repo's from `use Ecto.Repo`,
to `use AshPostgres.Repo`. because AshPostgres adds functionality to Ecto Repos.

Then, configure each of your `Ash.Resource` resources by adding `use Ash.Resource, data_layer: AshPostgres.DataLayer` like so:

```elixir
defmodule MyApp.SomeResource do
  use Ash.Resource, data_layer: AshPostgres.DataLayer

  postgres do
    repo MyApp.Repo
    table "table_name"
  end

  attributes do
    # ... Attribute definitions
  end
end
```

## Generating Migrations

See the documentation for `Mix.Tasks.AshPostgres.GenerateMigrations` for how to generate
migrations from your resources
