EctoCastIntToString is a simple library that enables ecto casting from number to string.

The package can be installed by adding :ecto_cast_to_string to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:ecto_cast_to_string, "~> 0.1.0"}]
end

As expected, EctoCastToString depends upon Ecto to work.

Simply set the type of the column you would like to have casted to string.

defmodule MyModel
  schema "my_model" do
    # Integer
    field :number_string, EctoCastToString.Number

    timestamps()
  end
end
