We are running ecto 3 with paginator in production right now without any issues

I know it’s compatible. But the dependency needs to be updated in the package so that it works without overrides. And there are pther smaller changes to Paginator which I’d like to submit if it’s not too disruptive to the rest of the code.

I have been using Webpack for asset management because it’s a requirement to not have external dependencies (deploy to corporate intranet).
It generates a JS file per action, I don’t like to inline JS or CSS so based on this article I have set up something similar.
https://blog.diacode.com/page-specific-javascript-in-phoenix-framework-pt-2
Also, I’m generating additional JS files at compile time, based on phoenix_jsroutes
routes.jsroutes helper for JSdefaults.jsdefault config for the widgetsi18n.jstranslation keys for the widgets
Agree, my original intent was to generate a React + Phoenix app but due to time constraints I had to switch to jQuery widgets.
So far, the front-end stack is using Hyperaxe, jQuery, Popper.js, Bootstrap, DataTables.net, Select2 and jQuery.Upload
I use the same approach, It generates an API action for each widget. i.e. /api/users/datatable, /api/users/select

As it turns out, bureaucrat was already of an elixir package on Hex.
I’ve changed the name to mandarin and published it as it is so that no one else takes the name in the mean time (renaming this project again is a chore I’d like to avoid). To publish mandarin, I’ve had to publish forage too. None of the packages are exactly ready for use in production. They have no tests and the documentation is still lacking.
“Mandarin” was the name given to the official of the Chinese empire by Portuguese explorers in the Far East in the 1500s. It is commonly said to come from the Portuguese word “mandar”, which means “to give orders/boss around”, but this etymology turns out to be fake (although it’s much cooler than the real one). Actually it comes from a Malay word for “boss” in use at the time. Basically a Mandarin is a Chinese bureaucrat, so it is a good replacement name.
Could a nice mod please change the title of this thread to “Mandarin + Forage - An admin tool for Phoenix”?
EDIT: Mandarin has the obvious advantage that it is derived from Portuguese (actually from “Old Portuguese”, because nowadays the word is written as “mandarim”), unlike Bureaucrat, which comes from French. As all French words, it’s impossible to write correctly on the first try, which can lead to countless typos in your code, so maybe this change is for the best 
C’est la vie… On the other hand, spelling rules in Portuguese are (mostly) consistent and Portuguese words are easy to write. Which only proves the superiority of the Portuguese language over everything else.
The above is obviously a joke

Joke or not, it’s true.
When I played WoW years and years ago, people just never got tired mistaking “rogue” with “rouge”. 99% of the time.

I’m open for ideas on how to test mandarin In a relevant way. Ideally, I’d generate a Phoenix application inside the test directory, run the mandarin generators on it and use a headless browser to send requests and validate the responses.
It does seem very heavy, though. Maybe I should start by testing whether some regexs are present, but that doesn’t test much actually.

You can follow the instructions here: GitHub - tmbb/bureaucrat_demo_app: Demo app for Bureaucrat · GitHub
Just replace the depndencies by their hex package names and versions, and replace all occurrencies of bureaucrat by mandarin in the commands.
This will generate the correct files right where you need them. The hardest part is to learn how to use the forage package, but you ca learn a lot by looking at the generated .ex and .eex files.

Thanks, I’ll try that tomorrow! My next question is: do you have any roadmap or commitments for the project? I’m looking for a solution that I can put on production.
