Contexts - a barrier too high for newbies?

[AstonJ]

@MikeAnthony

I guess for contexts to totally click for me I would have to see a project in a previous version compared against the latest version of phoenix with code to really see the overall benefit it is to me in my stage of development. I am at the dangerous point of thinking I get it but not sure what I got is right . I’ll keep looking and reading.

Have you seen this thread:

How would you explain Phoenix Contexts to a newbie?

If a newbie asked you about Phoenix Contexts, how would you explain the basics to them? Feel free to be as concise or in-depth as you like… In short: Phoenix Contexts are just dedicated modules that expose and group functionality.

So, authentication COULD BE the thing to make me leave Phoenix as IT IS the thing that keeps me periodically testing other languages/Frameworks hopping that there’s a new one as good as Phoenix but with Authentication.

There are a number of threads about built in auth.
