Installation
def deps do
[{:neuron, "~> 5.0.0"}]
end
JSON library
Neuron defaults to using Jason for JSON encoding and decoding. To use Jason, add it to your deps
{:jason, "~> 1.1"}
It is also possible to customize which JSON library that is used
Neuron.Config.set(json_library: AnotherJSONLibrary)
Connection
Neuron defaults to using HTTP(S) protocol with HTTPoison for Connecting to GraphQL endpoint. You can however customize that behaviour, by providing custom library, which should implement Neuron.Connection behaviour:
defmodule MyConnection do
@behaviour Neuron.Connection
@impl Neuron.Connection
def call(body, options) do
IO.inspect("NEURON CALLED")
Neuron.Connection.Http.call(body, options)
end
end
Then set it up in config:
Neuron.Config.set(connection_module: MyConnection)
Usage
iex> Neuron.Config.set(url: "https://example.com/graph")
iex> Neuron.query("""
{
films {
count
}
}
""")
# Response will be:
{:ok, %Neuron.Response{body: %{"data" => %{"films" => %{ "count": 123 }}}, status_code: 200, headers: []}}
# You can also run mutations
iex> Neuron.query("""
mutation createUser($name: String!) {
createUser(name: $name) {
id
name
}
}
""",
%{name: "uesteibar"}
)
# You can also set url and headers as shown below
iex> Neuron.query("""
mutation createUser($name: String!) {
createUser(name: $name) {
id
name
}
}
""",
%{name: "uesteibar"},
url: "https://example.com/graph",
headers: [authorization: "Bearer <token>"]
)
Overriding HTTP Timeout
HTTPoison
default timeout is 5000ms, in case we need to handle longer timeout, using default Neuron.Connection
module, we could set connection_opts
which will be passed to HTTPoison
. So to override timeout to 15000ms, we could do:
iex> Neuron.Config.set(url: "https://example.com/graph", connection_opts: [recv_timeout: 15_000])
iex> Neuron.query("""
{
films {
count
}
}
""")
We can also set the timeout for a single request by passing the connection_opts
to Neuron.query/3
instead:
iex> Neuron.query("...", %{}, connection_opts: [recv_timeout: 15_000])

Contributing
Pull requests are always welcome =)
The project uses standard-changelog to update the Changelog with each commit message and upgrade the package version.
For that reason every contribution should have a title and body that follows the conventional commits standard conventions (e.g. feat(connection): Make it smarter than Jarvis
).
To make this process easier, you can do the following:
Install commitizen
and cz-conventional-changelog
globally
npm i -g commitizen cz-conventional-changelog
Save cz-conventional-changelog
as default
echo '{ "path": "cz-conventional-changelog" }' > ~/.czrc
Instead of git commit
, you can now run
git cz
and follow the instructions to generate the commit message.
