Are custom :db.types officially supported yet?

[Thomas Heller]

Hey,

is there support for custom :db.types in Datomic yet? I asked this a while
back and the answer was "yes, sometime in the future". With Fressian out is
there now an official way to get this done?

I'd especially like to add monetary values (currency + bigdec) and some geo
data (while lat/lon is enough for now, paths would be nice too).

Regards,

Hi Thomas,

Fressian and Datomic were designed from day one to eventually support this
use case. That said, the path from today to there is not trivial. We will
do this eventually, but to be clear, it is not on the short-term path.

Regards,
Stu

Is there any further movement on custom :db.types?

The naive view would be that adding extra transactions with {:db/ident
:db.type/my-custom-tag :fressian/tag :my.custom/tag} is all that would be
needed. I don't expect that is really the case though. It would be handy to
be able to add custom types, even if they were just the existing composite
Fressian types (list, map, set).
