A structured place to keep information between middleware and actions.
For example an authentication middleware can add user data to the context.
Extracts the Raxx.View and Raxx.Layout module to it’s own project.
Add {:raxx_view "~> 0.1.0} to you mix.exs file for a backwards compatible update
From 0.18.0 the core raxx library is focusing on being an interface.
This is in preparation for a stable 1.0 release. This focus allows extensions such as session and cores can continue to be iterated upon.
When upgrading it is advised to upgrade to 0.17.6 and handle warnings before moving to 0.18.0
See CHANGELOG for details
Latest release candidate for Raxx 1.0 is available on hex.
Try it in your application with {:raxx, "~> 1.0.0-rc.3", override: true}. This version is compatible with 0.18.x.
Discussion the release can be found on the github issue.
Comments invited.
This release ships with no new exciting features, hooray!
All deprecation warnings from 0.x versions have been removed.
For conversations pre 1.0 see this thread.
Raxx is a toolkit to make web application with Elixir simple.

To everyone who is using Raxx and taken the time to give feedback, thanks.

Extra special thanks to all contributors.
With the core stabilised priorities can now shift.
The Raxx ecosystem already has support for logging, static files, cors, sessions and more.
Each of these extensions to the core library can now drive towards their own 1.0 release.
This is something that can always be improved,
however now the core API is stable efforts documentation and guides will be accurate for much longer.
Raxx.Kit is the quickest way to get started with raxx projects.
I want to work on this to increase it’s utility and get newcomers moving even faster.
Finally I hope to spend some time on some more ambitious experiments;
An integration with Absinthe would be interesting as Raxx is great when just building an API service.
Drab and Texas are also libraries that I would like to try out.
Perhaps the most ambitious, because I don’t know what the endpoint looks like, is to try and do more with GenBrowser. The idea of actors on the client and server is a very appealing prospect.
I won’t be able to do all of the next steps on my own.
Contributions are always welcome and now is a great time to get involved.
Documentation is always a good place to start or maybe you have a particular integration that you need.
I am very happy to help you if you want to get started contributing.
To use 1.0 update any dependent libraries that you need, to the following versions.
These are all non-breaking changes with respect to their previous versions.
# mix.exs
defp deps do
[
{:ace, "~> 0.18.6"}
{:raxx_logger, "~> 0.2.2"}
{:raxx_view, "~> 0.1.4"}
{:raxx_static, "~> 0.8.3"}
{:raxx_method_override, "~> 0.4.1"}
]
end
Otherwise you can use {:raxx, "~> 1.0", override: true}.
