We have released a new version of ueberauth_vk. https://github.com/sobolevn/ueberauth_vk

This release is mainly a maintenance one. We have upgraded minimal elixir and dependencies versions.

Some minor bugs are also fixed.

I would love some feedback on the overall restructuring I did from JSON 1.0 to 1.1!

Do you have a Rails background?

Are you tired of looking at outdated or incomplete tutorials on how to build a JSON API using Elixir and Phoenix?

Then, read on my friend!

What we’ll do:

• Create a new API-only Phoenix application —skip HTML and JS stuff.
• Create a User schema module (model) and hash its password —because storing plain text passwords in the database is just wrong.
• Create a Users endpoint —so you can get a list of, create or delete users!
• CORS configuration —so you can use that frontend of yours that runs on another port / domain.
• Create a Sign in endpoint —using session based authentication.

I released a couchdb interface for elixir, it includes most basic things and support for subscribing to database changes

Easy each/map/reduce/map_reduce/filter methods for deeply nested Elixir terms like %{foo: 42, bar: [foo: :bar, baz: 3.14], baz: :foo} and more.

Today I published 7 erlang packages into hex.pm: https://hex.pm/users/cblage They are just forks of the original erlang packages made to build with mix. No functionality lost/changed:

https://hex.pm/packages/async - erlang -> mix

https://hex.pm/packages/cclock - erlang -> mix

https://hex.pm/packages/columbo - erlang -> mix

https://hex.pm/packages/gibreel - erlang -> mix

https://hex.pm/packages/jsondoc - erlang -> mix

https://hex.pm/packages/kill_bill - erlang -> mix

https://hex.pm/packages/narciso - erlang -> mix

I also published a fork of an elixir package that had been abandoned abandoned since 2014 with fixed bugs and misc improvements. Full credit to the original author: https://github.com/qhool/quaff

Documentation work is still work in progress.

I did this because I needed to use these dependencies in prod and all prod deps should come from hex.pm. dev, test, etc it’s fine to use git deps.

Now I need to get actually back to work… :P
