What this skill does
Absinthe - Schema Design Comprehensive guide to designing GraphQL schemas with Absinthe in Elixir. Key Concepts Type Definitions Interfaces Unions Enums Input Objects Best Practices 1. Organize types by domain - Group related types in separate modules 2. Use nonnull sparingly - Only for truly required fields 3. Leverage interfaces - For shared fields across types 4. Define input objects - For complex mutation arguments 5. Use custom scalars - For dates, UUIDs, JSON, etc. Schema Organization Custom Scalars Anti-Patterns Avoid deeply nested types without pagination Don't expose database IDs directly without consideration Avoid circular dependencies in type definitions Don't skip field descriptions for documentation
