A Journey Through Migrating an Elixir App to the Ash Framework

The author details their experience transitioning an Elixir project to the Ash Framework, highlighting the framework's capabilities for managing domain resources. Starting with an introduction to Ash, which simplifies the definition and management of resources through attributes and actions, the author illustrates the migration of a personal project called TaskApp. Using the Igniter tool to set up Ash, the migration included converting existing Ecto schemas into Ash resources and adapting the context module functions. The process involved creating domains and resources methodically while addressing challenges in testing and data handling. Through troubleshooting, they refined their forms and LiveViews for better compatibility with AshPhoenix. The overall migration was successful and recommended as a learning experience, despite not yielding significant advantages for the simple project.
