Create api by GraphQL, Absinthe and elixir for chat app
hi again, I am learning GraphQL with Elixir this days, it is looking so funny. I have a question about chat app with this api. For chat app we will need rest api for instance ?

If you’re using GraphQL, then you should probably look for Absinthe and read how to implement real-time using subscriptions.
In my opinion, I prefer to use REST api for a chat app since its easier to build and get started.

I misunderstood, if you’re gonna build a chat app and you’re using phoenix, then you can leverage phoenix channels.

Because it is more reactive than REST, or GraphQL api.
Phoenix channels are something You should try, if You don’t know what it is…
