[](https://travis-ci.org/absinthe-graphql/absinthe_plug)
[Plug](https://hex.pm/packages/plug) support for [Absinthe](https://hex.pm/packages/absinthe),
the GraphQL toolkit for Elixir.
Please see the website at [http://absinthe-graphql.org](http://absinthe-graphql.org).
## Installation
Install from [Hex.pm](https://hex.pm/packages/absinthe_plug):
```elixir
def deps do
[{:absinthe_plug, "~> 1.3.0-rc.0"}]
end
```
If using Elixir < 1.4 (or manually managing applications), make sure to add it
to your `applications` configuration in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def application do
[applications: [:absinthe_plug]]
end
```
`Absinthe.Plug` also requires a JSON codec. Poison works out of the box.
```elixir
def deps do
[
<<<<<<< HEAD
...,
=======
{:absinthe_plug, "~> 1.2.3"},
>>>>>>> master
{:poison, "~> 1.3.0"}
]
end
```
## Usage
Basic Usage:
```elixir
plug Plug.Parsers,
parsers: [:urlencoded, :multipart, :json, Absinthe.Plug.Parser],
pass: ["*/*"],
json_decoder: Poison
plug Absinthe.Plug,
schema: MyApp.Schema
If you want only `Absinthe.Plug` to serve a particular route, configure your
router like:
plug Plug.Parsers,
parsers: [:urlencoded, :multipart, :json, Absinthe.Plug.Parser],
pass: ["*/*"],
json_decoder: Poison
forward "/api", Absinthe.Plug,
schema: MyApp.Schema
For more information, see the API documentation for `Absinthe.Plug`.
## GraphiQL
To add support for a GraphiQL interface, add a configuration for
`Absinthe.Plug.GraphiQL`:
```elixir
forward "/graphiql",
Absinthe.Plug.GraphiQL,
schema: MyApp.Schema,
```
See the API documentation for `Absinthe.Plug.GraphiQL` for more information.
