How to use Liveview Forms with nested schemas
I’m new in Phoenix Liveview and I’m trying to create a quiz app to studying and pratice that framework.
My app currently have three simple ecto schemas (using postgres as database):
Form schema:
schema "form" do
field :name, :string
has_many :questions, Question
timestamps(type: :utc_datetime)
end
Question schema:
schema "question" do
field :type, :string, default: "text"
field :title, :string
belongs_to :form, Form
has_many :item, Item
timestamps(type: :utc_datetime)
end
Item schema:
schema "item" do
field :type, :string, default: "text"
field :title, :string
belongs_to :question, Question
timestamps(type: :utc_datetime)
end
My idea with that schemas is build a simple app where students can acess forms and respond to questions to pratice they knowledgments in web development and related fields.
I have a LiveView questions.ex that lists the questions of a form:
defmodule QuizAppWeb.QuizLive.Questions do
use QuizAppWeb, :live_view
alias QuizApp.Quiz
alias QuizApp.Quiz.Form
alias QuizApp.Repo
def render(assigns) do
~H"""
<div class="grid grid-cols-1 gap-10">
<%= for question <- @form.questions do %>
<div class="bg-blue-200 rounded-2xl shadow-md p-4">
<h1 class="text-lg font-bold mb-2"><%= question.title %></h1>
<div class="bg-gray-300 shadow-md p-4">
<%= for item <- question.item do %>
<div class="p-2">
<input type="radio" id="{item.id}" name="#{item.id}-item" value="{item.id}" />
<label for="{item.id}"><%= item.title %></label>
</div>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
<.button phx-click="submit_answers">Enviar</.button>
</div>
"""
end
def mount(%{"form_id" => form_id} = _params, _session, socket) do
questions = Quiz.get_questions(form_id)
form = Repo.get(Form, form_id) |> Repo.preload(questions: :item)
changeset = Form.changeset(form, %{})
{:ok, assign(socket, questions: questions, form: form, changeset: changeset)}
end
def handle_event("submit_answers", %{"form_id" => _form_id} = _params, socket) do
{:noreply, socket}
end
end
The interface is like this:
I know, the design is not beautiful, but I’ll improve it soon ![]()
The liveview above does not work and I can’t receive the item that user choices. When I click in a item of second question, the items in firsts question unmark automatically.
What is a simple and efficient way to render and store the user answers of the form?
Thank you!

I think the first step would be to get things setup within a form component: phoenix form bindings
Right now it looks like when you click the Enviar button to trigger “submit_answers” you will not be getting the values in your inputs because they are not wrapped in a form. You can confirm this by inspecting the params passed in to your handle_event function.
If you are having issues fitting your form around your schema you should consider making a separate changeset that represents your form. That way you don’t have to marry your UI to your schema.

The changeset of the form should be based on the schema of the submitted data, not on the details about of the form. Most offen those are dynamic though, which can be problematic with changesets, which use atoms for fields - and you generally want to avoid creating atoms from user input in a system.
