React to LiveView for Performance [audio]

  • I’ve been using Elixir, Phoenix, and LiveView exclusively for about 7-8 months now and it’s been so much fun. Can’t recommend it enough.

  • Whenever I see examples of LiveView being used it all works seamlessly but the UI always looks very simple, like basic forms, links and buttons. How does one build more custom/complex UI controls with it?

  • I’ve been wanting to use LiveView so bad, it’s just incredibly hard to justify to a team when React is working just fine :(

  • A list of 100 items in react stuttered? Sounds like PEBKAC, not with react.

  • Would it make sense to task elixir and liveview to work only as a BFF with a separate backend?

    Does it not being typed affect productivity?

    If anyone with experience can chime in, that'd be very appreciated!

  • Is it possible to get on Phoenix nested controllers? Like in remix.run, where for each route segment we get one controller/view. It’s really generalised version of layouts.

    When I was looking into Phoenix all routes, no matter how nested, had to resolve to single controller. That meant that controller for path `/user/settings/privacy` was also responsible for getting data to display users sidebar.
