Create a GraphQL API with React and Phoenix 2

Since the early 2000s, REST APIs have been widely used for data querying and mutation, but GraphQL has emerged as a more efficient alternative due to its specificity in resource access. This tutorial explores building a GraphQL API using Phoenix, an Elixir-based web server, and Absinthe, a GraphQL library for Elixir. It guides readers through setting up an environment with Elixir, Docker, and PostgreSQL, and constructing a GraphQL schema and context for data management. The tutorial also covers integrating a React frontend with Apollo Client to query and mutate data from the GraphQL API. By the end, users can effectively create and connect their GraphQL API with a React app, leveraging Docker for database management and exploring the capabilities of Elixir in building robust applications.
