I’m showing you how you can customise the phx.new generator to give you a new Phoenix project the way YOU want it. In this post I show you an example of how we can add Oban preinstalled and configured to new Phoenix projects.
Would love to hear what others think Is this crazy to do or can it make sense?
Nice article! I was working on a project around this called Vials. It sort of fell by the wayside when I started working again as I stopped calling mix phx.new
so much tho I oddly started up on it again this week. I haven’t pushed anything in a while and there is an error in one of the examples in the readme but as someone who has clearly thought a lot about this as well, I’d be interested to know what you think of this approach! It is a working state but needs some polish.
Wow, that looks really cool. It is a different approach than mine in the sense you are using macros to tweak the generators.
makes sense if you have a site or app factory doing the same pattern over and over (I guess its obviously a comment)
in other ecosystems such as Drupal for instance, they have an Installation Profile and a Distribution concept and platforms like Acquia and Aegir can manage these site/app factories
platforms like Pantheon allow Drupal distributions to have a git upstream, so you can keep a core distro updated from an upstream proprietary or open source community distribution PLUS maintain a custom code and config
so, THANKS
