Ash Framework

Ash Framework is the game-changing toolkit for Elixir developers. With modular, plug-and-play building blocks, Ash slashes development time, effort, and complexity, letting you do more with less code. Design declarative, customizable domain models that are easy to maintain and optimized for performance. Shift your focus to what to build, instead of how, using Ash's intuitive design principles. Tackle bigger challenges and build scalable, future-proof web applications with confidence. Elevate your Elixir skills and revolutionize your workflow with Ash.

Discover a dynamic new way to build web applications with Elixir and Ash Framework. Ash enables you to structure and organize the code you write in a declarative programming style so you can build functionality more quickly and answer complex questions about data more easily.

Start with a Phoenix LiveView app and grow it into a fully functional system as you master Ash's core principles. You'll build the domain model for a music database throughout the book. As you create this model, you'll learn how to define resources with ease, connect them through adaptable relationships, and enrich your models with calculated attributes and aggregates to make your data work smarter. Secure your app with seamless authentication and authorization policies that integrate cleanly across APIs and user interfaces. Skip the busywork by generating REST and GraphQL APIs from your resources, freeing you to focus on building standout features. From dynamic search and nested forms to pubsub and real-time updates, you'll explore practical, real-world scenarios at every turn.

Coauthored by the creator of Ash, this book is packed with insider knowledge, best practices, and actionable guidance to get you started fast. By the end, you'll have the skills and confidence to create applications that grow with your needs.
