How should a Rest/GraphQL data source be used in Phoenix?

[dogweather]

I’ve discovered Strapi as an amazing tool for defining, populating, and serving a REST or GraphQL data source:

To access and use this data in Phoenix, what are some options? Is there an Ecto adapter that will expose it as a repo alongside a Postgres repo? Or alternatively, a higher level abstraction for the entities that can be retrieved? Maybe an Ash data layer?

EDIT: Some options I’m finding as I look:

• Overkill to use Ecto Schema to map external JSON to structs?
• Nestru
• params

I’d use a combination of:

• GraphQL client: GitHub - team-telnyx/brains: Brains is a GraphQL client in Elixir or GitHub - uesteibar/neuron: A GraphQL client for Elixir or GitHub - balexand/gql: Simple GraphQL client for Elixir.
• Query string builder: GitHub - billperegoy/graphql_builder: Library to build GraphQL queries and mutations from Elixir structs or GitHub - bonfire-networks/grumble: An Elixir DSL for generating GraphQL queries

Rest - Ecto embedded schemas + jason + (poison or your preferred http lib). I think that’s a decent combination.
