Learn Elixir
& Phoenix

desc

There are many different ways to authorize API requests. In part 1 of this series we’ll setup an Elixir application to generate an API key we can use to authorize API requests with.

In this episode we’ll learn how to paginate JSON API results according to the JSON:API specification using the JaSerializer package.

In this episode we’ll update an existing JSON API to follow the JSON:API specification. To help us, we’ll use the the JaSerializer package.

This episode is a great introduction for anyone wanting to build a JSON API with Phoenix. We’ll build a simple read-only API for an existing Elixir application.

Here we’ll see how structs can be used to format data. We’ll start with an introduction to structs and then explore different ways to map external data to a struct, including using the ExConstructor package.

In this episode we’ll use proactive caching with Cachex. Proactive caching can help ensure there is never a cache miss since data is loaded when the application starts.

Here we look at how to use Cachex to create a cache in an Elixir application. We’ll start by seeing how to interact with Cachex and then we’ll implement a simple cache in our application.

Phoenix contexts guide developers towards writing better organized code. To see how they work, we’ll build a simple blog with comments. This is a great episode for anyone new to Phoenix or wanting to see how contexts work.
