Using the Solid hex, which is a Liquid templating language implementation in Phoenix 1.6

How to I get a for loop working with a Phoenix generated list of structs, I am suspecting there is some format particular to Solid

You can see from that stacktrace it is suggesting rather strongly that it is calling get_in, which is not going to work on your struct unless you implement the Access behaviour.

You could read the docs/source for Solid.render or naively try turning your channels into maps to see if that works.

thanks @cmotl you are correct I think
https://github.com/edgurgel/solid/issues/96#issuecomment-962667419

currently not possible, maybe new feature for Solid

Open Question:
What patterns do work with Enumerables in Solid?

Can I make a non-Phoenix Context generator derived Ecto call and use that data structure to get working for loop?

Sorry, I have no knowledge of this Solid thing.

Did you try it using Map.from_struct/1? You can use whatever call you want/need to get the data how you need it.

I’ve never used the phoenix context generators apart from the initial “let’s see how they work”. Remeber “contexts aren’t a thing” :wink:
