Elixir absinthe-basics
This document discusses GraphQL and Absinthe, a GraphQL toolkit for Elixir. It provides an overview of GraphQL, describing it as a query language for APIs that allows requesting specific data fields and includes type systems. It then discusses building a sample Todo application using Absinthe to manage todo data, including designing a schema, queries, and mutations. It also briefly mentions additional GraphQL features like variables, unions, interfaces, and subscriptions that can be implemented, as well as organizing code, authentication, and performance tuning.

- 2. GraphQL ● A querylanguage for your API – Ask for what you need, get exactly that. – Get many resources in a single request – Describe what is possible with a type system – Move faster with powerful developer tools – Bring your own data an code – Evolve your API without versions http://graphql.org/
- 3. GraphQL as Specification –Language – Type System – Introspection – Validation – Execution – Response http://facebook.github.io/graphql/October2016/
- 4. GraphQL ● Why? – REST(REpresentational State Transfer) ● What is on the response? ● What if we need more info ● What if we don’t need all the info ● Validations – GraphQL ● Give the developer a query language to interact with the server ● Provides validation of data by default ● Handle relationships ● Give proper error messages ● What you ask is what you expect ● Single point of entrance
