Repositories by default support URLs. For example, the configuration above could be rewritten to:
config :my_app, Repo,
url: "ecto://postgres:postgres@localhost/ecto_simple"The schema can be of any value and the path represents the database name. The URL will be used generate the relevant Repo configuration values, such as :database, :username, :password, :hostname and :port. These values take precedence over those already specified in the Repo’s configuration.
URL can include query parameters to override shared and adapter-specific options, like ssl, timeout and pool_size. The following example shows how to pass these configuration values:
config :my_app, Repo,
url: "ecto://postgres:postgres@localhost/ecto_simple?ssl=true&pool_size=10"
