Hello! I have been using AJAX in the front end of my phoenix app to give flickerless updates when text is edited and rendered (see AJAX code below). The fields of data in the Ajax code are available in the reply to Phoenix in params, e.g., params["title"]. I would like to use the api server more…

[image] jxxcarlson: I’m seeing this at lines 26-31 – were you in the graphQL branch? I’m seeing that too, but that is the forward for Absinthe.Plug.GraphiQL, which is the introspection helper path, but I’m not seeing a forward for forward "/graphql", Absinthe.Plug, schema: NoteApi.Schema, whi…

Well the Drab library for Elixir would let Elixir control the page for the same flickerless updates. Absinthe for Elixir would let you use GraphQL instead of AJAX, which would be MUCH more uniform to use and faster to process as well. Or for still doing it as you are I would transfer the data in a…

[image] jxxcarlson: Thanks! I will start off by investigating GraphQL A quick short, GraphQL is a json-like query language developed by facebook, you send the query to the server and the server fulfills it and send back json in the exact format the client wants it in based on the query. Abs…

re GraphQL – excellent! I hate my AJAX code. It is totally Rube Goldberg. I’ll check out Absinthe as well.

[image] jxxcarlson: re GraphQL – excellent! I hate my AJAX code. It is totally Rube Goldberg. I’ll check out Absinthe as well. There is even an absinthe over phoenix sockets library out around somewhere too for even faster speed. There are a ton of javascript libraries to work with GraphQL…

Stupid simple is what I need:-) I’ll take a look at these others as well – I haven’t used sockets yet, but speed is important in this instance – real time editing / rendering of math/science text.

I’ve run into some trouble getting absinthe to work on my app. The error message in the logs is [debug] ** (Phoenix.Router.NoRouteError) no route found for POST /graphql (LookupPhoenix.Router) (lookup_phoenix) web/router.ex:1: LookupPhoenix.Router.match_route/4 (lookup_phoenix) web/router.…

Do you have this on github somewhere? The reason is that no route found for POST /graphql really implies that your forward "/graphql", Absinthe.Plug.... line is not in your main router (this is not an absinthe issue, purely routing setup, normal Phoenix stuff).

Let me fiddle with it a bit – if I fail, I will push my graphQL branch to GitHub

Well, my experiment didn’t work – here is the github link: https://github.com/jxxcarlson/ns_umbrella The code is in the graphQL branch — look in apps/lookupPhoenix the forward code is at https://github.com/jxxcarlson/ns_umbrella/blob/graphQL/apps/lookup_phoenix/web/router.ex#L30 Thanks!
