Named associations?
Hi, is there a way to have named association, please? Akin to Rails/ActiveRecord as: option. Something like this:
many_to_many :users, as: :members
I just can’t find it anywhere. Which leads me to believe it’s probably done some other way? Thank you.

many_to_many :members, YourApp.User, join_through: "classes_users" should do it for you.
You can then do: YourApp.Repo.preload(class, :members) and you will get the users as values in a members key.

If I’m not mistaken this is already possible. You pick a name and then specify how this is sourced:
many_to_many :tags, MyApp.Tag, join_through: "posts_tags"

You can freely choose how you name the many_to_many field on a schema. There’s some defaults based on field name, but all of them can be also manually set to match how things are named in the db.
