Why LiveReact

Phoenix LiveView enables rich, real-time user experiences with server-rendered HTML. It works by communicating any state changes through a websocket and updating the DOM in realtime. You can get a really good user experience without ever needing to write any client side code.

LiveReact builds on top of Phoenix LiveView to allow for easy client side state management while still allowing for communication over the websocket.

Roadmap 🎯

• Pre-build SSR components for static props
• useLiveForm - an utility to efforlessly use Ecto changesets & server-side validation, similar to HEEX
• Add support for Phoenix streams as props

Credits

I was inspired by the following libraries:

• LiveVue
• LiveSvelte

I had a need for a similar library for React and so I created LiveReact 👍
