ElixirConf Breakdown: LiveView Components 2023

Groxio LiveView Components Course

1 Install these tools, plus Elixir, plus Phoenix.

The tools you will need to install:

• git (https://git-scm.com/downloads).
• an editor that you are comfortable with.
• a working PostgreSQL install

For the development dependencies, you'll need:

• Elixir 1.15, with OTP 26. Make sure it's working:

run the command:

[course] ➔ elixir -v
Erlang/OTP 26 [erts-14.0.2] [source] [64-bit] [smp:10:10] [ds:10:10:10] [async-threads:1] [jit]

Elixir 1.15.4 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 26)

• Phoenix 1.7.7. This version of Phoenix is significantly different than previous ones.

Is Phoenix working? Make sure you can run this command:

mix phx.new demo
(say yes to fetch dependencies and assets)

and make sure you can then create the database:

cd demo
mix ecto.create

Don't save this for the last minute! There are a few dependencies that will give you trouble if you've never done this before and decide to wait.

2. Clone this repository

1. Fork this repository to your github account.

• Go to https://github.com/groxio-learning/components_ec
• Click the fork button in the upper right corner
• Navigate to your local version (at something like git@github.com:your-github-user/components_ec.git. )
• Copy the clone address to your clipboard. In the upper right, click clone or download then copy to clipboard

2. Clone your local version to your local machine.

• Clone it. REPLACE your-github-account with your account:

>  git clone <paste the url>
...clones repo...
cd components_ec

• Verify your remote:

$ git remote -v
> origin  https://github.com/your-user/components_ec.git (fetch)
> origin  https://github.com/your-user/components_ec.git (push)

• If there's no origin, set it. Make sure you replace your-github-user:

components_ec> git remote add origin https://github.com/your-github-user/components_ec.git

• Verify your remote:

$ git remote -v
> origin  https://github.com/your-user/components_ec.git (fetch)
> origin  https://github.com/your-user/components_ec.git (push)

• Set the upstream to the Groxio repo:

components_ec> git remote add upstream https://github.com/groxio-learning/components_ec.git

• Verify the remotes:

> origin  https://github.com/your-user/components_ec.git (fetch)
> origin  https://github.com/your-user/components_ec.git (push)
> upstream  https://github.com/groxio-learning/components_ec.git (fetch)
> upstream  https://github.com/groxio-learning/components_ec.git (push)

3. Now check out your setup. Send me a pull request: Edit the file "pull_requests.md" and add your name:

• git pull upstream main
• Edit pull_requests.md

- Bruce Tate

• Commit the file and push

> git commit . -m "my commit"

...some happy success message...

> git push origin main

...some happy success message...

Now go to your repo in your browser. Navigate to pull requests, and create the button to create a pull request.

Your homework is done!
