  • live_state

    The hex package for the server side of live state

  • We have switched to Elixir and Phoenix as our go to stack gradually over the last 5 years. We've found that LiveView in particular, with it's ability to avoid a separate front-end framework altogether, has let us deliver applications to clients in a significantly more productive way. We were a rails shop back in the day, and were able to build things very quickly. When the whole front-end framework thing got big, it slowed us down a lot because we were building two applications, essentially. Now that we are able to go fast again we (and our clients) are enjoying things a lot more.

    I should also say that if you do need to use a separate front-end for whatever reason, I've built a thing called LiveState: https://github.com/launchscout/live_state that lets you keep things far simpler and gives a "LiveView like" experience.

  • Phoenix

    Peace of mind from prototype to production

  • Sorry to hear this. Phoenix v1.7 changed how it structures files in disk and that broke quite some of the getting started material. However, the guides are always kept up to date, so you can give it a try: https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/overview.html

    You can also see the resources on this page listed by year: https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix/blob/main/guides... - the recent launched ones are most likely up to date.

  • pathex

    Fastest tool to access data in Elixir

  • Some times I miss being able to do updates in the way you described.

    Have you seen Pathex? https://github.com/hissssst/pathex
