Programming Phoenix LiveView Book Club!

Hello everyone! Looking forward to mastering Live View with you all!

Hello everyone. I have not started reading yet. Got the flu … Will do from the weekend if I fully recover by then

This is the plan I have regarding how I’ll proceed with the reading

• Will have a summary of a chapter once done, focusing on my thoughts, learnings and feeling about what I learned.

• Since I am treating this as part of mg deep dive into LV, I will dig elsewhere in the web on topics related to the chapters I just read (i.e related articles, discussions, tutorials) so we can dive deeper and have good supplement per chapter

• Aside from the ‘Pento’ app mentioned in the book, I will create a Playground like LV app where I will post snippets and share with y’all. Any aha moment Ot discoveries would be codified as snippets

That’s it. Also a reminder that there is an errata page on DevTalk and if you find any bugs or outdated information you know where to report and help the author.

I am looking forward to learning with you all. LiveView is a tech stack close to my heart and I am super excited to colearn it and brush up and strengthen my skills.

Hi all.. I’ve made my way through to the “your turn” section where the reader is invited to complete the game. While the book has been relatively accessible to a :noob like myself, generating my own code feels like a step beyond my sphere of confidence. If anyone feels like sharing code or tips, you’d have an audience of at least me

Hi! I have curiosity: what is done in book club?

There are no hard or fast rules Iván, tho we generally encourage people to post at least one update per chapter, and welcome others to join in with the conversation when they encounter anything of interest

Check out our latest book clubs here: bookclubs and here are our older ones book-club

Oh! All right, with your explanation and looking the past bookclubs I already understand the idea. I will try to participate

Thank you, @AstonJ!

Are you stuck where the author asks you to complete the code so that the time updates with each event trigger? If so, then in your mount/3 function add the time key with value time() like score and message. Then, inside the template, use @time instead of time(). Update the handle_event/3 func as well, doing the same as message and score for time.

Hope that helps.

Please Note: I intentionally left the instructions a little vague, so that you have some room to explore.

Sorry, just noticed there is a separate Your Turn section.

I’m a little bit confused. With the exercise part, I’m having difficulties with live_patch/3
I’m getting this error:

warning: Routes.live_path/2 is undefined (module Routes is not available or is yet to be defined)
  lib/pento_web/live/wrong_live.ex:46

I’m pulling the LiveView behaviour properly according to this post. still no luck.

Here’s the code if it helps.

Did you generated a fresh phoenix project?
Just copied you wrong_live.ex and ran it on my project and it worked fine

Edit: I forgot to mention that I already completed a few chapters, I think I skipped ahead a bit because I was curious on how to implement JS interop

Really liking it so far, but I wish it was possible to embed a LiveView on an existing “DeadView” to make it possible to slowly port some features to LiveView, maybe thats possible but I cant find a exact answer to this.

Yes, the pheonix project was generated fresh.
