Phoenix Form default values
Hey everyone,
I’m new to Elixir and Phoenix and I’m currently working on a very simple Phoenix application.
While working on the Form for Users to sing up, a problem came up.
At the moment users can set their own score, but should not be possible.
How can I set a default score for each new user that then gets written to the database?

User sign up would typically have two phases in a User Controller:
newprepares the information to be shown on the sign up page.createtakes the information entered on the sign up page and prepares it for insertion into the database.
So it would be Accounts.register_user(user_params) (under create) responsibility to set any “default” values. The score wouldn’t be in the user_params as the user can’t set it. But register_user would “know” what default score to set.

Thank you, I might try that later. For now I just removed the field and from the form and in the controller I simply merge the params with a map for the default values, which works great for me.
