EctoStorage

What is it?

EctoStorage is meant to provide robust object storage capabilities for Ecto schemas. It's heavily inspired by Rails's ActiveStorage while still trying to follow Ecto patterns like avoiding the record_id, record_type polymorphism pattern.

To that end it (currently) uses a Ledger approach, where polymorphism is achieved by adding a foreign key from the main table (e.g. Post) to the attachments ledger table. Then all attachment records point to the ledger table, using it as a sort of constrained join table.
