This is part of the Phoenix LiveView series, but nothing in this tutorial is related to LiveView.

It goes over how to get comment counts for each podcast (or blog post, etc) and show them on the listing page.

Here’s the last part of my Headless CMS fun with Phoenix LiveView and Airtable series, where we implement an ETS cache for the content, which synchronizes periodically, and broadcasts changes to the live views.

Happy coding!

4th video in the series about building cryptocurrency trading bot in Elixir - this time PubSub broadcasting

We will focus on getting PubSub up and running so we will be able to scale naive strategy to multiple traders as well as other processes in the future.

The site for the Reactor Podcast is finished and launched! Now, it’s time to look at what’s left to finish up the screencasts—adding a comment system!

This video shows what the finished site looks like and then go over what it will take to build out the commenting system. It’s more of a walk-through than a screencast.

I’ve recently released a new version of Vapor that includes a new DSL. This DSL which should make it even easier to create runtime configuration plans.

The documentation around downloading a file from a Google Drive account is a bit spread out, so i figured i could make a mini tutorial on how to do this.

New blog post unveiling the thorny path to Tyyppi — the library bringing erland types to elixir runtime as first class citizens.

Generated Types II — Down the Rabbit Hole.

It’s kinda sequel to Generated Types in which I started a journey into using erlang types in elixir runtime.

Deploy a release on GCP compute engine with Mix, docker, and GCP Compute Engine.

Just as OOP DI enables you to replace dependent objects, definject enables you to replace dependent function calls.

One of the trickiest parts of getting Elixir services into production is the deployment. Common approaches include using Docker to generate containers that you can then deploy to AWS/Google/Azure, a Kubernetes cluster, or running the creation of the deployment locally (mix releases) and then publishing the finalised version to the target machine. For my website https://pedroassuncao.com i decided to go with a simpler approach…

Latest episode of Elixir Wizards is out today! Check it out here: https://smartlogic.io/podcast/elixir-wizards/s4e10-taarnskov/

Welcome Tyyppi library that allows dealing with types in runtime, including but not limited to:

• runtime check if this term is of that type with Tyyppi.of?/2, e. g. Tyyppi.of?(GenServer.on_start(), :ok) (it’s apparently not :))
• apply the function providing its spec so that it returns {:ok, result} if and only if all the arguments and the result meet the specs, and {:error, {:arity | :args | :result, value}} otherwise
• create a typed struct with generated complete detailed t() :: %…{…} type definition, type checks on upserts, and a possibility to cast values on upserts to the expected type (TBD).

I wrote up my thoughts on how library authors can use telemetry more effectively.

Phoenix LiveView is great for things like forms with validations. But for a new user form, you’ll probably want to log the user in as soon as they create an account.

This is a walk-through of how you can add user auth to a LiveView app using login tokens. The same strategy also works for logging in with “magic” forgot password links.

This is episode #13 of a Phoenix LiveView series.

This time we’re upgrading LiveView from version 0.8.1 to 0.12.1 (with future proofing for v0.13), and getting both the main app and the throwaway /foo route working again.
