inertia_phoenix VS Express

Maintained by Devato

yea it was a godsend that fit exactly what I wanted. I don't want to build an API and I don't want nodejs as my backend. It just injects props for me and then I can do all the cool phoenix things like use channels (i make heavy use of websocket backed svelte stores).

Express: A lightweight framework for building web applications.

Now, we will create API using expressjs. When we created application using --ssr flag, the Angular CLI already took care of installing expressjs for us.

Starting off strong with Express.js, the cool kid on the block for building web apps. It's lightweight, flexible, and doesn't throw a tantrum when you ask it to scale. With Express, you can handle HTTP requests like a pro, play around with middleware, set up routes without breaking a sweat, and render views that make your app look stunning. Big names like Netflix and Uber are already on board, and if it's good enough for them, it's definitely worth a peek.
