Part 4 of the Simple Phoenix LiveView App series. This episode covers three things:

• Pass connection info to our socket in endpoint.ex
• Set up CSRF tokens for use with LiveView via sockets
• Convert the embedded ~L template in our LiveView render function to a separate .leex file

Have just merged in a great PR by @marick into phoenix_integration, which much improves form testing. Am going to leave it in master for a week before pushing to hex, so let me/us know if there is any feedback. This bumps the version to 0.8.0

In this post of Real World Phoenix I discover how easy it can be to incorporate Phoenix Presence inside LiveView

Made this little thing, if anyone finds it useful

ABNF in, parser out https://github.com/princemaple/abnf_parsec

• Brevity - flattens unnecessary nesting in parsed ABNF
• Easy to config and customzie
• Full test coverage

In my ongoing quest to convince people to stop using Application env so much, I decided to write about one of the patterns I use for making “stateful” libraries (libraries that provide processes, ets tables, etc.) more configurable and reusable.

Simple ping scan

The snippet below ping scans the network, and lists the target machine if it responds to ping.

Episode 11 of Elixir Wizards out today! Check it out: https://podcast.smartlogic.io/s3e11-lumen

https://hexdocs.pm/date_time_parser

https://github.com/taxjar/date_time_parser

Changelog:

• No longer converts to UTC. Converting to UTC too early could be bad. Options still available.
• No longer assumes date or time. No information is better than bad information. Options still available.
• Added bang variants
• Added parse/2 that will return best match.
• Fixed bugs
• Calling it stable.

In this episode of ElixirMix, we talk with Evadne Wu about the Packmatic library. Packmatic supports zipping streams on the fly for improved performance and UX. We cover streams, Zip64, supporting a public library, and much more!

Podcast Episode

Walk through monitoring the Erlang VM with the metrics automatically shown in AppSignal’s Magic Dashboard - https://blog.appsignal.com/2020/02/04/elixir-monitoring-erlangvm-with-magic-dashboards.html

GenRMQ is a set of behaviours meant to be used to create RabbitMQ consumers and publishers.

Changelog:

• Add telemetry support - https://github.com/meltwater/gen_rmq#telemetry
• Refactor consumer settings
• Give the possibility to override all metadata fields

Enhancements

• Ignore the incompleteCode flag and instead always use the criteria used when incompleteCode was set.

  name prefix	exact name	ResolveResult	valid
  ❌	N/A	❌	N/A
  ✅	❌	✅	❌
  ✅	✅	✅	✅

  This extends #1617 to more cases.

  • Qualified calls (Process.flag(…), etc)
  • Type specs (@spec foo(…))
  • Aliases (alias Foo…)
  • Module Attributes (@attribute)
  • Variables (foo)
  • Protocol reserved module attributes (@protocol and @for)

Bug Fixes

• Fix debugger evaluator for Elixir >= 1.9.2. Ports elixir-lang/elixir@7002554.

Installation Instructions

Trans, the small library for embedded translations in Elixir schemas has been updated to 2.2.0.

The main change in this new version is that Trans.Translator.translate/3 can now receive a string, allowing us to use the output of Gettext.get_locale/0. For example, we can now write:

Trans.Translator.translate(Article, :title, Gettext.get_locale())

This release also removes Faker as a dependency, updates ExDoc and removes support for Elixir versions older than 1.6 (which are not officially supported by the core team anymore).

You can see the release notes on GitHub or fetch the new version from hex.pm.
