# Wellington Elixir Meetup GraphQL Lightning Talk
## Because I couldn't think of a snappier title
This is a very quick overview of what GraphQL is and what it's useful for. A lot of this info can be gleaned directly from the [Absinthe](https://absinthe-graphql.org/) documentation.
Things we're going to cover in this presentation:
* What the heck is GraphQL anyway?
* Setting it up with Phoenix
* Handling Queries
* Handling Mutations
* Handling Subscriptions
* Extra for experts
