README.md

Elixir (Phoenix) codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the RealWorld spec and API.

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged backend application built with Elixir and Phoenix including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.

We've gone to great lengths to adhere to the credo community styleguides & best practices.
