Ecto Query "ago" and "from_now"

Ecto.Query has 2 very useful functions for Datetime querying. Here's ago/2:

from p in Post, where: p.published_at > ago(3, "month")
Elixir

And here's from_now/2

from a in Account, where: a.expires_at < from_now(3, "month")
Elixir

And finally this is the list of intervals that it's supported:

  • year
  • month
  • week
  • day
  • hour
  • minute
  • second
  • millisecond
  • microsecond
