Bringing the Absinthe tutorial up to date

I cannot tell You for documentation, but I can tell You data loader is covered in this resource

This is a good complement to the book on Absinthe

I was interested in GraphQL before Absinthe, so I started to do it with node.js first.

I do understand these are paid resources, and might suit all needs, but You can start by learning dataloader as an independant tool…

https://github.com/graphql/dataloader

Starting by this will help You understand how to integrate it with Absinthe later.

If You have all your context queries ready, this will help You build a batch of queries, to execute as one.

Dataloader is a great tool

Thanks,
I come from nodejs so I have some familiarity with those topics the resources are great.

Also i already have that course.

What i was asking is to make a joint effort and bring the Absinthe official tutorial up to date so everyone can use it.

I will build a series on how this is done here

Part 2 is out

Nice guide. ^^

I found a typo in Section 1. You forgot the x of phoenix in the bottom link to Phoenix page. So the link doesn’t work.

Thanks @Kurisu good catch, I updated the article.

Part 3 is out

Clear and easy to understand as always.

About this part of the posts migration file I have a question.

# posts  table
      add :body, :string # Create the body column in the posts table

Will the “body” column store string of more than 255 characters length? If so, before running the migration I would suggest to change its type to :text

# posts  table
      add :body, :text # Create the body column in the posts table

This will allow to store post with unlimited length body in the database. The Post schema however is ok with the type :string for the body field.

But maybe you want to make this change in your next article. That is also fine.

Thanks @Kurisu for the appreciation on my work and follow up on this series.
@kurisu can you comment directly on the article page, so I can credit you for this update ragrding body :text?

I agree with @Kurisu

add :body, :text

it’s the correct.
