Hello folks! I hope I can understandably describe my problem. As my learning curve, I am working on an online bookstore web application. I have two tables - Authors and Books (book belongs to author/author has many books); I came up with an idea to create many book authors associated with a new book. I’m trying to show what I mean in the mockup below. Is it possible to achieve it only with Elixir/Phoenix (maybe some simple JS code additionally)? If so, can someone explain how to do it? If there is a better way to do handle it, I would be grateful for any recommendation as I am quite new to such stuff. Thanks in advance!

Hey. Can you check if this does what you want?
Kapeusz
Yes, this is something I would like to achieve! I am looking at the article and just wonder if does it matter that my application is not a LiveView app? I am asking because I don’t know where I should write similar code to the code in
lib/tutorial_web/live/product_form_live.exand how different would it be. I’m sorry if this is a stupid question but I’m still a newbie. Thank you!andreaseriksson
Not really. If you want to dynamically add new fields, you can do that with JS.
I have done it with 2 different options
The backend part of the tutorial will be the same though.

Ohh, okay. I will give it a shot! Thanks!
