To start your Phoenix server:
- Ensure you have Postgres running locally
- Install dependencies with
mix deps.get - Create and migrate your database with
mix ecto.setup - Start Phoenix endpoint with
mix phx.server
Graphiql explorer is available at localhost:4000/graphiql
For this project I used Absinthe, which is a popular GraphQL implementation for Elixir on top of Phoenix, which I am sure that you have heard about.
I have previous experience with this stack so I was able to prototype together something pretty quickly. I backed the API with Postgres and secured it with JWT via a library called Guardian.
