Prater is a chat web application (well in the near future) build using Elixir and Phoenix framework. Check the demo.
I'm building the application in order to learn Phoenix and describe the process of learning/building that app on my blog.
Building the application like that allows me to cover a wide range of topics.
The implementation may miss some points, can have no tests and unfinished features. But that is mostly because those topics are waiting their time to be described in the blog.
Let's see how far it would lead me in my learning journey.
To start your Phoenix server:
- Install dependencies with
mix deps.get - Create and migrate your database with
mix ecto.create && mix ecto.migrate - Install Node.js dependencies with
cd assets && npm install - Start Phoenix endpoint with
mix phx.server
Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.
