To create a Customer resource using the Ash DSL and the Ash framework in an Elixir application with PostgreSQL as the data layer, you'll need to follow these steps. I'll break down each step and provide code examples as needed.
Make sure you have Elixir and PostgreSQL installed on your system. Then, create a new Elixir project using Mix:
mix new your_customer_app
cd your_customer_appAdd the required dependencies to your mix.exs file:
defp deps do
[
{:ash, "~> 0.3"},
{:ash_postgres, "~> 0.3"},
{:ash_graphql, "~> 0.3"},
{:ecto_sql, "~> 3.7"},
{:absinthe, "~> 1.6"},
{:absinthe_plug, "~> 1.6"},
# Add other dependencies as needed
]
endNow, fetch the dependencies:
mix deps.getCreate a new Ash resource for the Customer entity. In your project's lib/your_customer_app/resources directory, create a file named customer_resource.ex:
defmodule YourCustomerApp.Resources.CustomerResource do
use Ash.Resource
attributes do
field :first_name, :string
field :last_name, :string
field :email, :string
validate_length(:first_name, min: 2, max: 50)
validate_length(:last_name, min: 2, max: 50)
validate_format(:email, ~r/^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$/, message: "Invalid email format")
validate_unique(:email)
end
data_layer Ash.Postgres.DataLayer
actions do
create
update
delete
end
api do
actions([:create, :update, :delete])
end
graphql do
type YourCustomerApp.GraphQL.Types.CustomerType
end
endGenerate an Ecto migration for the Customer table:
mix ecto.gen.migration create_customersOpen the generated migration file in priv/repo/migrations and define the up and down functions to create and drop the customers table with the required fields.
defmodule YourCustomerApp.Repo.Migrations.CreateCustomers do
use Ecto.Migration
def up do
create table(:customers) do
add :first_name, :string
add :last_name, :string
add :email, :string, unique: true
timestamps()
end
create(unique_index(:customers, [:email]))
end
def down do
drop table(:customers)
end
endRun the migration:
mix ecto.migrateIn your application's configuration (config/config.exs), add the Ash configuration:
config :your_customer_app, YourCustomerApp.Ash.Repo,
data_layer: Ash.Postgres.DataLayerNow, configure GraphQL in the same file:
config :your_customer_app, YourCustomerAppWeb.Schema,
# ...
:modules, [YourCustomerAppWeb.Schema.Types.CustomerType]Define a GraphQL type for the Customer in lib/your_customer_app_web/schema/types/customer_type.ex:
defmodule YourCustomerAppWeb.Schema.Types.CustomerType do
use Absinthe.Schema.Notation
alias YourCustomerApp.Resources.CustomerResource
object do
field :id, :id
field :first_name, :string
field :last_name, :string
field :email, :string
interfaces([Ash.GraphQL.Interfaces.Node])
end
endIn your GraphQL schema file (lib/your_customer_app_web/schema.ex), define the queries and mutations for Customer:
defmodule YourCustomerAppWeb.Schema do
use Absinthe.Schema
alias YourCustomerApp.Resources.CustomerResource
query do
field :customer, CustomerResource.get_action(:read)
end
mutation do
field :create_customer, CustomerResource.get_action(:create)
field :update_customer, CustomerResource.get_action(:update)
field :delete_customer, CustomerResource.get_action(:delete)
end
# ...
endYou should now have a Customer resource configured with Ash, Ecto, and GraphQL. To run your application:
mix phx.serverYou can use GraphQL queries and mutations to interact with the Customer resource using your API. Make sure to replace YourCustomerApp with your actual application module names and adjust the code accordingly for your project structure.
