Structuring GraphQL APIs in Elixir with Absinthe

Source: meraj-gearhead.ca

Type: Post

The article presents an architecture for structuring GraphQL APIs in Elixir by using the Absinthe library alongside the Phoenix framework. The objective is to provide a layout that suits practical, real-world applications by refactoring and rewriting code examples from the book 'Craft GraphQL APIs in Elixir with Absinthe'. The author explains the domain model used and how to reorganize the GraphQL concepts of queries, mutations, and subscriptions for improved clarity and project scalability. The article includes examples of restructured API code and introduces authentication, authorization, and Dataloader to avoid N+1 query problems. A GitHub repository is provided for the complete source code, demonstrating how to organize the codebase, implement unit tests, and follow specific conventions for a clean, easily navigable, and extensible structure.
