# `Storehouse.Ecto.File`
[🔗](https://github.com/hattoriai/storehouse/blob/v0.1.0/lib/storehouse/ecto/file.ex#L2)

An Ecto type for a stored file (`Storehouse.File`) in a record's column:
a map (`jsonb` in PostgreSQL) of its key, URL, name, type, size,
checksum, width and height. No table of files: the record has its file.

    schema "users" do
      field :avatar, Storehouse.Ecto.File
      field :photos, {:array, Storehouse.Ecto.File}, default: []
    end

    # The migration
    add :avatar, :map
    add :photos, {:array, :map}, default: []

It casts a `Storehouse.File` only, never a map of a form's params: a
file's key comes from Storehouse, never from a browser, so that no one
puts another's file in their record. Put files with
`Storehouse.Ecto.put_file/4`.
