Hey there.

I want to try out GraphQL in Elixir for a small project,
and there seem to be two competing implementations for Elixir.

http://graphql-elixir.org/ and http://absinthe-graphql.org/.

Both recently active and with equal amounts of GH stars.

Does anyone have experience with either, and can comment on the differences?

Thanks for letting me know. The audio isn’t THAT bad, and more than made up for the content.

I was in your audience for this one and I can confirm that you sounded just fine :slight_smile:

It’s back up!

Still sounds like crap though. Ah well :frowning:

Yeah they took it down to do further process. Unfortunately it is still not up yet. Mine was not the only one affected. Definitely frustrating.

Is the talk up now?

I’ve just finished the elixir fountain Ep where you talked about this and interested to see it. I think I read in another thread it was recorded through a piece of cheese, so the audio caused it to be torn from us?

Maybe little off topic but there is interesting project https://scaphold.io/ GraphQL as service. Could be nice alternative to Firebase. They are using https://www.rethinkdb.com/ as database.

We found a version of GraphIQL the other day that made setting headers easy, we hope to add that soon. With that capability it should be easy to set JWT headers or other header based authentication methods.

@collegeimprovements if you are using jwt, you can manually add the auth header including the token in graphiql and assuming it’s valid, you should be able to reach your secure endpoints as well.

Thanks guys, I’ll start out with Absinthe then I guess.

I use guardian and I have absinthe in a little area as a test in my big server, although I have the guardian token given to the client and they pass it back with each request, so it is done very manually, not 'plug’y.
