I’ve been using the new phx.gen generators and I came across a use case that left me wondering if maybe I am not grokking the new context based directory layout correctly.
I want to have a User schema in two contexts, Account and Blog, so I run:
mix phx.gen.html Accounts User users email:string
mix phx.gen.html Blog User users name:string account_id:references:accounts_users
The second generator invocation tries to overwrite the web_app resource files created by the first generator invocation:
* creating lib/phx_sandbox/web/controllers/user_controller.ex
lib/phx_sandbox/web/controllers/user_controller.ex already exists, overwrite? [Yn]
Is that intentional?
Should web_app resources also be name spaced, according to the context? (I must admit, that feels odd)
Or should there be a clean separation between context schemas and web_app resources, so that the above generator invocation should not be allowed, requiring instead explicitly linking a resource to a context schema?
mix phx.gen.html Account User users email:string
# => Raises exception suggesting you do the following instead
mix phx.gen.context Account User users email:string
mix phx.gen.context Blog User users name:string account_id:references:accounts_users
# Creates CRUD scaffold linked to each contexts User
mix phx.gen.html Account User SignupController
mix phx.gen.html Blog User BlogUserController
