Hi, do you have a blog post explaining how to start using ex-money step by step :

• create the table with the field money :
  mix phx.gen.Live Products Product products description:text shop_id:references:shops price:money
• update all the forms (create, update, list, show) generated by phx.gen.Live

Its a good suggestion, but no, I don't have any material published beyond what's in the ex_money and ex_money_sql repos.

In particular I know that it would be very helpful to have some content discussing UI/UX approaches. It's not an area I work in very much but will probably dive into this year.

For the database creation to store an ex_money then you need to add ex_money_sql as a dependency since it includes database functionality for ex_money. See the README on how to create the composite type money_with_currency migration for Postgres and on how to define a schema that uses the [Money.Ecto.Composite.Type]https://hexdocs.pm/ex_money_sql/Money.Ecto.Composite.Type.html).

Hope that helps a bit - feel free to ask questions here or on the forum.
