i’m following conventions in both parts. i use camel case variables in javascript and snake case in elixir.

to share data between elixir and javascript, you are going to use some form of api. this is the point where many transform then between camel case and snake case. if you’re going for absinthe/graphql for example, you will write your schema in elixir with camel case (field :first_name) and your queries from javascript can use camel case (firstName) and it gets automatically matched.

@Emily @manukall Absinthe has an adapter to convert snake_case to camelCase ( absinthe/guides/adapters.md at main · absinthe-graphql/absinthe · GitHub ). I’m using this adapter and it works very well

The schema has to be snake_case to adapter works.

My project is a phoenix (version 1.4.) framework using absinthe (version 1.4.13) and absinthe_plug (version 1.4.6). To set up an absithe adapter, go to config.exs file and add the line below

config :absinthe, adapter: Absinthe.Adapter.LanguageConventions
