## Installation
The package can be installed
by adding `astra` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:astra, "~> 0.1.0"}
]
end
```
To connect to Astra add something like the following to your `config.exs`.
For username and password authentication:
```elixir
config :astra,
id: System.get_env("ASTRA_ID"), #this is your astra cluster id
region: System.get_env("ASTRA_REGION"), #this is the region where your astra cluster is hosted
username: System.get_env("ASTRA_USERNAME"),
password: System.get_env("ASTRA_PASSWORD")
```
For static application tokens:
```elixir
config :astra,
id: System.get_env("ASTRA_ID"), #this is your astra cluster id
region: System.get_env("ASTRA_REGION"), #this is the region where your astra cluster is hosted
application_token: System.get_env("ASTRA_APPLICATION_TOKEN") # this is and application security token for your database
```
For non-astra stargate backends replace `id` and `region` in the config with the stargate url, example:
```elixir
config :astra,
url: https://my.stargate.endpoint/api/,
application_token: System.get_env("ASTRA_APPLICATION_TOKEN") # this is and application security token for your database
