What is Ash?
Ash Framework is a declarative, resource-oriented application development framework for Elixir. A resource can model anything, like a database table, an external API, or even custom code. Ash provides a rich, and extensive set of tools for interacting with and building on top of these resources. By modeling your application as a set of resources, other tools know exactly how to use them, allowing extensions like AshGraphql and AshJsonApi to provide top tier APIs with minimal configuration. With filtering/sorting/pagination/calculations/aggregations, pub/sub, policy authorization, rich introspection, and much more built-in, and a comprehensive suite of tools to allow you to build your own extensions, the possibilities are endless.
Why do developers keep reinventing the wheel?
Every time you start a new app, are you rebuilding features that you've already built many times? Wouldn't it be great if you could just focus on the important parts of an app without reinventing ways to authenticate, add permissions, etc. Ash allows you to not only use patterns in existing extensions, it lets you extract your own patterns into custom extensions. So when you need to do it again in a new application, it's already done. Just wire it up!
A place for everything and everything in it's place
Ash helps keep things neat and organized by providing good patterns for structuring your application. Over time and with larger teams of different experience levels, patterns change and drift away from each-other across our applications. With that said, nothing in Ash depends on what folders or files you put things in, so you are free to experiment or make the choices that make sense to you.
Spaghetti belongs in the kitchen, not in your codebase. Ash provides the ability to keep all similar parts of your application consistent, making it easy to share an architectural vision while allowing escape hatches to do something different if needed.
Ash is more than it appears
Ash is more than just auto-generated API or an Admin UI. It’s a fully extensible DSL to model your domain, which creates a declarative, highly introspectable representation. This in turn can be used to derive anything you want.
Ash has built in extensions that allow you to generate Admin UIs or Phoenix LiveView Form helpers, saving a ton of boilerplate. Even going as far as fully swapping data layers, Ash lets you do something traditionally extremely difficult with ease.
"Through its declarative extensibility, Ash delivers more than you'd expect: Powerful APIs with filtering/sorting/pagination/calculations/aggregations, pub/sub, authorization, rich introspection, GraphQL... It's what empowers this solo developer to build an ambitious ERP!"
"I’m constantly blown away with the quality of work and support the Ash community has put into this project. It’s gotten to the point that I can’t imagine starting a new Elixir project that doesn’t use Ash."
"Ash is an incredibly powerful idea that gives Alembic a massive competitive advantage. It empowers us to build wildly ambitious applications for our clients with tiny teams, while consistently delivering the high level of quality that our customers have come to expect."
"Ash Framework enabled us to build a robust platform for delivering financial services using bitcoin. Ash proved itself to our team by handling innovative use cases with ease and it continues to evolve ahead of our growing list of needs."
"The more I’ve used Ash, the more blown away I am by how much I get out of it – and how little boilerplate I have to write. I’m yet to encounter a situation where I would need to fight the “Ash way” of doing things, but the framework still allows me to choose how I build my software."
