Absinthe is the GraphQL toolkit for Elixir, an implementation of the GraphQL specification built to suit the language's capabilities and idiomatic style. If you're new to GraphQL, we suggest you read up a bit on GraphQL's foundational principles before you dive into Absinthe. Absinthe's functionality generally falls into two broad areas. Defines the structure of data entities and the relationships between, as well as the available queries, mutations, and subscriptions, using an elegant collection of declarative macros. Absinthe schemas are defined using easy-to-read macros that build and verify their structure at compile-time, preventing runtime errors and increasing performance. The entire query processing pipeline is configurable. Add, swap out, or remove the parser, individual validations, or resolution logic at will, even on a per-document basis. Absinthe includes a number of advanced resolution features.

Features

  • Complete implementation of the GraphQL Working Draft
  • Extensibility based on small parts that do one thing well
  • An idiomatic, readable, and comfortable API for Elixir developers
  • Detailed error messages and documentation
  • A focus on robustness and production-level performance
  • Absinthe goes far beyond GraphQL specification basics
