What do I like about Phoenix and LiveView? Where do I start?!

  • Enjoyment working with an Elixir-based framework
  • Performance
  • Pretty much everything one needs out of the box without an over-bloated system(tests suite, server included, no need for JS, migrations)
  • It is aLIVE! LiveView is a stepping stone in how we build the web and what responsiveness actually means.
  • All books I have from PragProg are quality so I am sure this one will be as well!

I love the fact that LiveView allows developers to stay entirely in Elixir and still build rich web applications. Prior to learning Elixir, Phoenix, and LiveView I had 0 web experience, so the ability to learn a single language and framework rather than having to learn a backend and frontend language and framework made getting into web so much easier.

I am still dipping my toes on LiveView, but my very basic tests were pretty nice.
Also, Phoenix.Component is so nice to write composable components

I love Phoenix and LiveView since it makes what I thought was hard in other frameworks, like creating a functioning simple chat application, into something that is easy.

Also, not having to bother with JavaScript is an instant win :wink:

I appreciate being able to put together dynamic UI prototypes without too much context switchng.

Also I’m starting to appreciate Phoenix Channels more :smiley:

Stateful connections are much easier to reason about and work with when it comes to event handling, so thanks LiveView!

I know ten people already mentioned and I already have the book but I’ll still mention one thing I like about Phoenix LiveView is how seamless the development experience is, little context switch without as many trade offs as one would expect.

Thanks for mentioning these here.
