Working on the Nerves project, the Embedded framework for Elixir, has given me an increased appreciation for how Frank Hunleth and his collaborators through the years have structured things. And while I’ve found crossing into the Linux-heavy part of it difficult and frustrating there has been reasonable steps to take all the way from building the application layer in Elixir all the way back to fighting the bootloader. I’ll try to detail how a Nerves system is built up in this post.

In my last post I explained how Phoenix responds to an incoming HTTP request by transforming a %Plug.Conn{}.

In the follow-up, I take things further and show you what happens if the request is served by a LiveView.

Article refers to another recently published blog post and talks about two advanced things you can do while inserting records with ecto

• using ecto queries to get values for specific fields
• using placeholders to reduce the amount of data passed through the query

For some compliance work, we needed a way to log all actions a user makes in our application’s live view admin interface. Looking under the hood of the LiveView __using__ macro, and then in part mimicking and in part extending those approaches, allowed us to do it in very few lines of code. https://bego.dev/blog/audit-live-view
