# Taking Ash Framework’s DSL on a Spin for RPC Fun

**[ElixirStatus](https://daily.dev/sources/elixirstatus)** · 6 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A hands-on walkthrough of building a custom DSL extension using Ash Framework's Spark library in Elixir. The author creates an AshRpc extension, generates code using Ash.Info.Manifest following the five-step pattern (generate, verify, walk, validate shape, persist), and extends the example to dispatch RPC calls to a remote BEAM node. The post covers writing the DSL section and entity definitions, manifest-based code generation with validation, and using Erlang's distributed node capabilities to execute remote actions, with full source code provided on GitHub.
