How to use define_interface example in docs it's not clear
Show where you found the issue
I have followed the Get Started guide to build the Helpdesk app and then followed the Whats next section where we have a link to learn how to use Code interfaces.
While I perfectly understood how to use the
define_for
define_for
, because it builds on top of the Helpdesk app, I wasn't able to grasp how to use the
define_interface
define_interface
, because the example for it doesn't build on top of the Helpdesk app.
Share the problematic documentation
define_for and define_interface
Notice how we included a specific Api module using define_for above. Without this, no functions will be defined in the resource. This is because you might want to define the interface for multiple resources in a single module. While we encourage the use of define_for Api , it is not the only way to do it. You could also do something like this:
defmodule MyApp.MyApi.Interface do require Ash.CodeInterface Ash.CodeInterface.define_interface(MyApp.MyApi, MyApp.Resource1) Ash.CodeInterface.define_interface(MyApp.MyApi, MyApp.Resource2)end
defmodule MyApp.MyApi.Interface do require Ash.CodeInterface Ash.CodeInterface.define_interface(MyApp.MyApi, MyApp.Resource1) Ash.CodeInterface.define_interface(MyApp.MyApi, MyApp.Resource2)end
And then call functions on MyApp.MyApi.Interface instead.
How can I use the above code example in the context of the Helpdesk app?
