Just published phoenix_markdown to hex. Makes Markdown files first class templates in Phoenix. Uses Earmark to render.

This means you can place *.html.md files in your templates directories and use them directly from the controller, or as partials in other templates via render “some_markdown.html”.

Also means the Markdown conversions are compiled. Very fast at runtime.

While Postgres is the default Ecto database type, you can use MySQL databases as well. Beyond that, it is relatively easy to connect to an already existing MySQL database and take advantage of the power of Ecto with it.

In this post we discover how to connect to an already existing MySQL database and even deal with non-standard field types and funky primary keys.

Mix is an equivalent of Rake for running project tasks. But it’s much more than what you came to expect from Rake.

I just published part 2 of a story on writing a full site in Phoenix and Elm! This time, we’re focusing in on just making HTTP GET requests and learning the basics of Tasks and Commands. In future posts we’ll flesh this all out a bit more into a full-functioning API handler!

I’ve updated the Sequences library, that lazily computes sequences of useful mathematical numbers for you, like Fibonacchi, the Factorials, the Catalan numbers, and the Primes.

Now, it will also happily generate digits of pi for you, as well as some other small things.

I look forward to any feedback!

Swoosh 0.4 is out today. Highlights from this release:
