Storing and viewing data on my forum

Hello I am new to coding, and thought I would work on a program creating a new patient form to store patient info! I am using the Pragmatic Studio tutorial on form create to create a new patient form. I also used a tailwindui template to get the visual for the form I wanted. Right now my form is empty, and I followed the tutorial to “programmatically create a patient in the database”. As far as I can see I have followed the instructions the best I could while doing my own thing by adding in tailwindui; however, my data is not showing up on localhost4000 when I add it programmatically to the database using an iex session and manually. Any suggestions on why my data is not pulling through?

my iex session looks like this

my context module looks like this

The Patients context.
“”"

And then I did Repo.insert(changeset) and it didn’t add it.

Hi there.
Without looking through your code yet, what sort of errors or messages are you seeing?

For example, when you visit http://localhost:4000 what kind of response do you see in the browser (I notice that you’ve written the address as localhost4000, omitting the colon, that would cause a particular type of problem)?

Another thing you could look at to get some information as to what might be a problem, is the response you get from Repo.insert/2 in your iex session - if you look at the documentation here: Ecto.Repo — Ecto v3.6.2 it says the return should be {:ok, struct} or {:error, changeset}
