Support for encrypted columns?

[ndbroadbent]

I was wondering if there is anything like the https://github.com/attr-encrypted/attr_encrypted gem for Crystal/Lucky?

If not, it would be really awesome if this could be a project under the luckyframework GitHub organization!

(I'm going through the Gemfile for my Rails app and figuring out what I will need to port. I'm super impressed with Lucky and all the Crystal shards I can find!)

Hey @ndbroadbent. That's a great idea. I don't believe there is anything there yet, but it is possible to add custom types to Avram (Lucky's ORM). I'm going to move this to the Avram repo since it fits there a bit better.

Here is an example of a custom Email type in the Avram repo https://github.com/luckyframework/avram/blob/master/spec/support/custom_email.cr

It may be tricky to implement this based on just that example so if you need some help feel free to post here or in the chat room https://gitter.im/luckyframework/Lobby

@ndbroadbent I need this myself and asked @paulcsmith for help to build something. I have now something that at least encrypts and decrypt a string. Haven't yet tested it in models but I will do it as soon as possible and fix any issue with that.

Hopefully, it will solve your issue by using it.

the lib/class is: https://github.com/microgit-com/lucky_encrypted

Update: tested and should work. Enjoy!
