PhoenixFromScratch

A sandbox for figuring out how to create a new Elixir/Phoenix project.

This is a place for me to learn how to create a new Phoenix project from scratch and add important tooling/features on top of the vanilla project. The goal is to utilize as much built-in Elixir/Phoenix tooling as possible, adding outside dependencies only as necessary.

See the docs dir for more details on various aspects of a basic Elixir/Phoenix application.

Getting Started

• Install asdf
• Use asdf to install the version of the following specified in .tool-versions:
  • Erlang
  • Elixir
• Run docker-compose up from the root of this project to create the local dev database
• Run mix deps.get to retrieve dependencies
• With the Docker database container still running, run mix ecto.setup to setup the local database
• Run iex -S mix phx.server to start the local server
• Visit localhost to confirm the server is running

TODO

• Basic project setup
• Docker for local Postgres
• First migration
• Display table data (choose library)
• Accounts: admin, user
• Admin login/authentication
• [] Add an API endpoint
• [] Cloud provider
• [] Terraform
• Formatting; mix format.credo
• [] Docker deployments
