Great article Ryan!
What do you think of this code? It’s similar to yours but I pattern match on a valid changeset in the function instead of doing a extra
caseinside the function.https://gist.github.com/hl/2ff2e3e8ef71bb8b45e8fa52eabbcb53#file-user-ex-L30-L31

Also since you are using Guardian you can build your
context.exlike thishttps://gist.github.com/hl/6372b3e376ff6a25fa80d39db73e6ab4

Thanks!

Ah ya! That’s nice. I assume you have used Guardian.Plug.LoadResource in the router pipeline right? Much cleaner. Thanks for sharing!

Ryan, thanks a lot for these three awesome posts. I’ve enjoyed them a lot and definitely posts like yours are very valuable for the Elixir community
In this last one i’ve been able to catch a couple of typos (what an honour!!): in
mix.exsandweb/plugs/context.exyou usePhoenixGraphQLinstead ofMyAppas you do everywhere else.Have an amazing 2017, you deserve it!!
ryanswapp
Thanks for catching those!
I’ll get them fixed.
I hope you have a wonderful 2017 too!
