I just came across this tutorial and I am must confess that this is the best of any other tutorial I have seen so far on google, @zenw0lf, you did a nice job seeing you put it into consideration of people who are new into the elixir/phoenix tech.

Hello @issoft, I don’t think this is the right place to start a discussion about application design.
Nonetheless, let me tell you that is better to have separate tables for users, roles and permissions. It’s easier to manage them in that way.
Have a look at the categories on the forum: Categories - Elixir Programming Language Forum you’ll surely find the right place to discuss this and other questions you might have.
Cheers,
VA

Thank you for continuing to maintain this guide! I think it is very useful guide for the community. I do think it would be nice to include a note at the top of the tutorial to state that it’s been updated for Phoenix 1.5. I didn’t notice that the title of the article says Phoenix 1.5 until I saw your latest message here. Also I’ve updated the title of this topic and link to say Phoenix 1.5 (let me know if you want to edit the initial message further).

FYI, I updated your initial post to add the new link: Build a JSON API with Phoenix · lobo_tuerto's notes
(I left the previous link mainly so the click count would remain, 3.3k clicks is quite impressive!)
I’m not sure there’s much you need to update for Phoenix 1.6, I think the main thing is this section: Create a new API-only Phoenix application
You need to change from:
mix phx.new my-phoenix-json-api --app my_app --module MyApp \ --no-html --no-webpack --binary-id
to:
mix phx.new my-phoenix-json-api --app my_app --module MyApp \ --no-html --no-assets --binary-id
