Ecto Postgres tsrange data type

README.md

A simple Ecto custom type for the Postgres tsrange type.

Based on: http://pedroassumpcao.ghost.io/using-postgres-range-data-type-in-ecto/ and elixir-ecto/postgrex#27

tsrange.ex

defmodule Postgrex.Extension.TSRange do

No it's not.
Also to those stumbling upon this, it's outdated. Ecto.DateTime is deprecated.
Here is a more up-to-date version: https://gist.github.com/jgautsch/85bda57d53ada9f2d0106b3d4a379472

FYI here's a repo implementing tsrange and tstzrange columns, as well as examples of how to query for overlapping ranges: https://github.com/jgautsch/ecto_time_ranges
