config Absinthe.Relay causes warnings

[mkaput]

When configuring Absinthe.Relay (e.g. setting custom ID translator):

config Absinthe.Relay, MyApp.Schema,
  global_id_translator: MyApp.Schema.CustomIDTranslator

Mix yells with following warning:

You have configured application Absinthe.Relay in your configuration file,
but the application is not available.

This usually means one of:

  1. You have not added the application as a dependency in a mix.exs file.

  2. You are configuring an application that does not really exist.

Please ensure Absinthe.Relay exists or remove the configuration.

Would it be possible to remove it? Thanks! 😄

Ah, yeah Absinthe.Relay is using a non standard configuration pattern there, we should fix it. Honestly this ought to be set as like a module attribute on the schema or something and not in config.

ok, I changed my code to pass global_id_translator as use Absinthe.Schema argument and let it read the value from custom config parameter.

I assume it may be better then to reword this issue as deprecate config Absinthe.Relay, isn't it? If so, I'm leaving the state of the issue to you
