Controller and plug

Hi guys. I took a break on coding for a while and coming back to my code base I got confused (maybe I’m getting old ha).

So I have a plug code that works with a controller index.

The idea is that the company controller index will get a list of companies using the query select * from companies kinda deal. The plug is handling this list of companies.

My question is where do you specify that this plug belong to the company controller? Or did I accidentally made it run this query for every user request (irregardless to a specific controller)? Thank you for you time.

Here’s all the relevant code I can think of:

Controller:

defmodule FumigateWeb.CompanyController do
  use FumigateWeb, :controller

  alias Fumigate.Fragrance

  def index(conn, params) do
    params = Map.put(params, :page_size, 25)
    page = Fragrance.list_companies_paginate(params) 
    render(conn, "index.html", page: page) 
  end

Plug

defmodule Fumigate.Plug.CompanyList do
  import Plug.Conn
  alias Fumigate.Fragrance

  def init(opts), do: opts 

  def call(conn, _opts) do
    assign(conn, :companies, Fragrance.list_alphabetical_companies())
  end
end

Where are you referring to the plug?

That’s what I’m trying to figure out haha.

I figured it out. It’s… dead code replaced by a paginate library I’m using. >___>

Thank you for your time sir.
