Batch Insert Workshop

To start your project:

• Install dependencies with mix deps.get
• Create and migrate your database with mix ecto.create && mix ecto.migrate
• Optional: Install Node.js dependencies with cd assets && npm install
• Optional: Set up Github API Token: https://developer.github.com/v4/guides/forming-calls/#authenticating-with-graphql
• Copy .env_sample to .env; put the API token in the ENV var; run source .env
• Start Iex: iex -S mix

Instructions

1. Retrieve Unique Languages from JSON Payload.
2. Insert all Unique Languages in one query, returning values (hint: Repo.insert_all with on_conflict & returning clause)
3. Insert all Repos, and return all values from the Insert.
4. Loop back through the payload, mapping the IDs returned from Languages and Repos (Steps 2 & 3)
5. Insert these into the repo_languages table.
6. Write tests

Where to begin:

1. If you have a Github API Token set up (from Start your project section): You can run GithubApi.repos to fetch the first 10 repos. The file is located at lib/batch_insert_workshop/services/github_api.ex`

OR

2. If you don't have a token set up, you can get a sample payload from: GithubPayload.sample

Tables to use for Part 1

• Languages
• Repos
• Repo Languages
