167: Customizing mix phx.new?

Thinking Elixir Podcast ·

2023/09/05

We've all run "mix phx.new", but have you ever thought to customize what that does? We talk with Victor Björklund who explains how we can create customized Phoenix project generators and why we might want to. We also discuss customizing the phoenix generators for our already generated projects. We explore the idea of supporting 3rd-party maintained generators and what that might look like. A fun discussion sure to “generate” ideas for your project! Show Notes online -

166: Filtering, ordering and pagination via Flop

Thinking Elixir Podcast ·

2023/08/29

Most of us have created our own filtering, sorting and pagination code before in one project after the other. Mathias Polligkeit got tired of doing that too and created the flop library to wrap it all into a portable and reusable solution. We talk with Mathias to learn what it can do and are pleased to learn it's surpassed our own solutions. He also created a flop_phoenix package with heex components to help build filter forms and tables. A fun look into an interesting library! Show Notes online -

158: From Ruby to Elixir with Steve Bussey

Thinking Elixir Podcast ·

2023/07/04

A challenge for many people learning Elixir is the change in the mental model. Coming from OOP to Functional changes how we reason about our applications and the old way doesn't always map over cleanly. Also, Elixir is capable of doing a lot more than other languages and frameworks can and this means learning how to build a “normal” application may change. We talk with Steve Bussey about his new book “From Ruby to Elixir” that aims to help people bridge that gap. While the title says “Ruby”, we

Dialyzer is something that eventually everyone hears about in the Elixir community. It's a static code analysis tool that has both fans and detractors, and with good reasons on both sides! We talk with Noah Betzen about how he brought Dialyzer to several mature Elixir projects. He wanted the benefits of finding and fixing bugs and to prevent new problems from being added. He shared tools, strategies and other resources for how to get started without stopping everything to fix all the existing

Thinking Elixir Podcast ·

2023/06/20

When their React app stuttered and slowed with the hundreds of items they needed to display, Tim Gremore tried it out as a LiveView rendered page and found they could scale to thousands without issue.
