Umbrella and Child Projects

Umbrella and Child Projects

Learn how to set up an umbrella app and a common graph storage area for the project.

Parts of the project

The project that we’ll be developing falls into two main pieces.

  • First, we’ll take an in-depth look at five separate Elixir graph packages (libgraph, bolt_sips, sparql_client, gremlex, and dlex), which we’ll explore with a set of dedicated apps, and we’ll use a *_graph pattern to name these.

  • Then, we’ll build some more apps for working across these packages, and we’ll distinguish those by naming them graph_*. We’ll also make use of a common library, which we’ll introduce here in Part I (also named with the graph_* pattern). Essentially we’re dealing here with two sets of apps plus a common library app. That’s a lot of apps that we’ll manage under a single umbrella app.

Let's set up our umbrella app and the common library app. We’ll gradually introduce the other apps as we move on. ...
