No doubt you could write your own code to create a custom Ecto type. The point of this small and focused library is to do the metaprogramming for you so don’t need to write that code every time you need to create an Enum in Ecto. With EctoEnum, you just need to write a few lines of code to have a StatusEnum, DayOfWeekEnum, etc… Also, this library actually has tests and is used by many other devs. That’s the point of having libraries and sharing packages, so we can focus on other work.
