defmodule Mix.Tasks.Phx.Gen.Live do
@shortdoc "Generates LiveView, templates, and context for a resource"
@moduledoc """
Generates LiveView, templates, and context for a resource.
mix phx.gen.live Accounts User users name:string age:integer
The first argument is the context module. The context is an Elixir module
that serves as an API boundary for the given resource. A context often holds
many related resources. Therefore, if the context already exists, it will be
augmented with functions for the given resource.
The second argument is the schema module. The schema is responsible for
mapping the database fields into an Elixir struct.
The remaining arguments are the schema module plural name (used as the schema
table name), and an optional list of attributes as their respective names and
types. See `mix help phx.gen.schema` for more information on attributes.
When this command is run for the first time, a `ModalComponent` and
`LiveHelpers` module will be created, along with the resource level
LiveViews and components, including `UserLive.Index`, `UserLive.Show`,
and `UserLive.FormComponent` modules for the new resource.
> Note: A resource may also be split
> over distinct contexts (such as `Accounts.User` and `Payments.User`).
Overall, this generator will add the following files:
* a context module in `lib/app/accounts.ex` for the accounts API
* a schema in `lib/app/accounts/user.ex`, with a `users` table
* a LiveView in `lib/app_web/live/user_live/show.ex`
* a LiveView in `lib/app_web/live/user_live/index.ex`
* a LiveComponent in `lib/app_web/live/user_live/form_component.ex`
* a helpers module in `lib/app_web/live/live_helpers.ex` with a modal
After file generation is complete, there will be output regarding required
updates to the lib/app_web/router.ex file.
Add the live routes to your browser scope in lib/app_web/router.ex:
live "/users", UserLive.Index, :index
live "/users/new", UserLive.Index, :new
live "/users/:id/edit", UserLive.Index, :edit
live "/users/:id", UserLive.Show, :show
live "/users/:id/show/edit", UserLive.Show, :edit
## The context app
A migration file for the repository and test files for the context and
controller features will also be generated.
The location of the web files (LiveView's, views, templates, etc.) in an
umbrella application will vary based on the `:context_app` config located
in your applications `:generators` configuration. When set, the Phoenix
generators will generate web files directly in your lib and test folders
since the application is assumed to be isolated to web specific functionality.
If `:context_app` is not set, the generators will place web related lib
and test files in a `web/` directory since the application is assumed
to be handling both web and domain specific functionality.
Example configuration:
config :my_app_web, :generators, context_app: :my_app
Alternatively, the `--context-app` option may be supplied to the generator:
mix phx.gen.live Accounts User users --context-app warehouse
## Web namespace
By default, the LiveView modules will be namespaced by the web module.
You can customize the web module namespace by passing the `--web` flag with a
module name, for example:
mix phx.gen.live Accounts User users --web Sales
Which would generate the LiveViews in `lib/app_web/live/sales/user_live/`,
namespaced `AppWeb.Sales.UserLive` instead of `AppWeb.UserLive`.
## Customizing the context, schema, tables and migrations
In some cases, you may wish to bootstrap HTML templates, LiveViews,
and tests, but leave internal implementation of the context or schema
to yourself. You can use the `--no-context` and `--no-schema` flags
for file generation control.
You can also change the table name or configure the migrations to
use binary ids for primary keys, see `mix help phx.gen.schema` for more
information.
