There are several ways to organize your Phoenix LiveView templates, and regular Phoenix views can still play a part in that. Let’s explore how templates are rendered, and some tips on where to place your template and when.

With the recent support for AlpineJS in LiveView, the two work hand in glove together. And without having to fence-off your JS code with phx-update=ignore. In this post we explore integrating Phoenix LiveView with JavaScript and AlpineJS.

Thinking in processes is already difficult; writing automated tests for those processes shouldn’t make it worse. Elixir provides the necessary tooling to ensure your processes are rock solid. This article explains how to use them.
