In this episode we’ll look at how we can use a GenServer to schedule some recurring work. We’ll create a GenServer fetches the price of a Bitcoin at a regular interval.

Now that we’ve created our ‘Order History’ pages, we need to make sure only the respective customers are able to view their order history. We’ll use Plug to help us do this.

In this episode we’ll build on the foundation we setup in part 1. We’ll populate our ‘order history’ and ‘receipt’ pages with actual data and make them accessible to our customers.

In this episode we get started building an order history page. We’ll look at how our application is structured, how we can fetch data from an API to build our receipts, and how to structure that data.

In this episode we’ll learn how to identify security issues in Phoenix applications. We’ll be using Sobelow to help us identify different potential vulnerabilities.

In this episode we’ll look at one way to parse HTML with the Floki package. We’ll search an HTML page for the specific data we want and use Floki to get it.

Assigns allow you to set and access shared data in different contexts within Phoenix. In this episode we’ll explore how to use assigns in the connection, template, and socket.

In this episode we’ll learn how we can use feature flags to toggle different features of an application to different users. To do this we’ll be using the FunWithFlags package in an existing Elixir application.
