Hey Elixir Forum,
I’ve written a ebook called the Phoenix LiveView Cookbook which I’ve written in the hopes of distilling the knowledge I’ve gained from using LiveView in production for almost 4 years.
I love LiveView but I also found it really hard to find resources on implementing common patterns found in the web which other frameworks seem to have more available.
I’ve built dozens of side projects and projects at my company where I’m a lead full stack engineer so hopefully I have something I can teach you!
I go through the initial ideas of LiveView, compare it to other frameworks like React and talk about pros and cons, before going through the basics of form validation, nested forms, testing LiveView and components and then dive into recipes like server-side analytics, keeping users in sync in real-time and a bunch more.
The book released today but I’ve already had some really love reception from early readers and I figured this sub might benefit from it.
