Foreign key name

[michaelkub]

Hello everyone ,

Is it possible to provide foreign key name ?

As I saw it is autogenerated by the following pattern:
Symbol: fmt.Sprintf("%s_%s_%s", owner.Name, ref.Name, e.Name)
but sometimes it is required to provide own name

Hey @michaelkub! It's great to hear from you 😃

There's no way to configure it in the schema atm, but I can add it to the edge annotation later today and tag you. If you're looking for a workaround, you can use a migration-hook to change the foreign-key symbol and remove this workaround after we add this option.

client.Schema.Create(
    ctx,
    schema.WithHooks(func(next schema.Creator) schema.Creator {
        return schema.CreateFunc(func(ctx context.Context, tables ...*schema.Table) error {
            tables[i].ForeignKeys[j].Symbol = "<symbol>"
            return next.Create(ctx, tables...)
        })
    }),
)

BTW, I'd be happy to share with you my work on the new migration API. Feel free to join our Ent Slack channel and ping me privately if you're interested 🙏
