Censer 🏺

Vaporize GraphQL queries into elegant Elixir patterns.

Censer is a development-time toolkit that bridges the gap between Absinthe and Igniter. It parses GraphQL query strings and automatically generates Elixir function heads with deep pattern-matching structures, ensuring your handlers match your data requirements exactly.

Why Censer?

When working with GraphQL in Elixir, you often find yourself manually writing nested map patterns to destructure API responses. This is error-prone and tedious. Censer automates this by:

1. Parsing your .graphql files using the robust Absinthe parser.
2. Generating idiomatic Elixir AST patterns, respecting aliases and nested structures.
3. Injecting code directly into your modules using Igniter's safe code-patching engine.
