Phoenix 1.7 is View-less

1. Phoenix

   1 124 22,065 9.7 Elixir

   Peace of mind from prototype to production

   

   I don't think that 1.7 is going to really have bandit fully supported on launch: https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix/pull/5071

   Once it is supported though, I will be on that for sure.

2. InfluxDB

3. bandit

   2 6 1,780 9.1 Elixir

   Bandit is a pure Elixir HTTP server for Plug & WebSock applications (by mtrudel)

   

   Could even switch over to Bandit which was on a recent Thinking Elixir podcast

   > In recent performance tests, Bandit's HTTP/1.x engine is up to 5x faster than Cowboy depending on the number of concurrent requests. When comparing HTTP/2 performance, Bandit is up to 2.3x faster than Cowboy

4. elixir-ls

   3 15 1,601 9.5 Elixir

   A frontend-independent IDE "smartness" server for Elixir. Implements the "Language Server Protocol" standard and provides debugger support via the "Debug Adapter Protocol"

   

   Elixir-ls provides Language Server Protocol support as well as VS Code Debug Protocol support which gives extra powers to VS Code, NeoVim, Emacs, and the like

5. phoenix_live_view

   4 32 6,463 9.7 Elixir

   Rich, real-time user experiences with server-rendered HTML

   

   Some of the 1.7 stuff has an alert banner that pops up when the connection is broken. I think that could really help.

   However I haven't put that in our app as I have seen other issues of flakey connection reconnect issues, and I would hate to make any of those more visible with a flashing notice.

6. eqwalizer

   5 11 524 9.3 Scala

   A type-checker for Erlang

   

   While it's not static-typing, compile-time type checking for Erlang have come a long way: Eqwalizer works pretty well - but I may be biased since my employer sponsors the project.

7. FunkyABX

   6 3 0 7.8 Elixir

   Audio blind tests

   

   All web frameworks fail with forms one way or the other :)

   I think one point would be the docs, to outline the basic cases, best practices. Maybe something tying the form helpers and changeset.

   I have a side project [0] with a form which have inputs dependant of others and a dynamic section (assoc).

   I struggled a bit with the data, checking what I would get inside a changeset struct, until I "discovered" get_field and put_change.

   For the assoc I was also a bit lost until I read an article using a delete virtual field. In the end I made it work but I still not sure I used all the right changeset functions.

   To LiveView credits this app has been used all over the world and got very good feedback, nobody mentioned any lag issue etc (well, someone with a crappy connexion in Istanbul once got an incomplete uploaded file without getting an error).

   Programming Phoenix LiveView Book Code & Solutions to "Give it a try"s

   

   LiveView is evolving into a great piece of tech, but as others have noted elsewhere in the comments one of the challenging parts with LiveView right now (and to an extent Phoenix) is the outdated books & tutorials.

   Bruce Tate and Sophie DeBenedetto have been authoring the book “Programming Phoenix LiveView” (https://pragprog.com/titles/liveview/programming-phoenix-liv...) which has the potential to be a great source for people that want to really dive into LiveView. The challenge though is they have not updated it to support the changes introduced in 0.18.0 which makes it really hard to start using the book when a new Phoenix application “mix phx.new dev_app” looks different than what’s in their book and some of their code breaks with the default installed versions of included plugs.

   While I wish the book would receive an update sooner that brings it back to a compatible state (meaning there are no issues following along with the book), the good news is they have committed to having the book be updated when LiveView hits 1.0.

    9 7 341 3.9 Haskell

    Erlang backend for the PureScript compiler

    

    You've been able to write PureScript that compiles to Erlang and has perfect interop for years, via `purerl`[0]. Using it with Elixir is as simple as adding `purerlex` as a compiler and having your PureScript code automatically compile when `mix` compiles things, and off you go.

    In terms of the typing itself, it's exactly what you get in all of PureScript, strict static typing with no `any` or the like. Using `Pinto`, the de facto OTP layer in PureScript your processes are typed, i.e. their `info` messages & state are typed, which means that they are all much more like strongly typed state machines than anything else.

    You can see an example of a basic `gen_server` here:

    https://pastebin.com/UTEfz7Wg

    The differences aren't very big in terms of what you'd expect to be doing. One small thing to note is that the `GenServer.call` expects a closure to be passed instead of having the split between `gen_server:call` & `handle_call`, removing the need for synchronizing two places for your messages being sent and handled.
