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Are you tired of looking at outdated or incomplete tutorials on how to build a JSON API using Elixir and Phoenix?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