I spoke at Oredev trying to explain and introduce Nerves to a general audience.
If you've been looking for something to show people that should be interested in Nerves for doing cool stuff with hardware and Elixir I'd love if you share it around. My previous talk at Oredev seems to have been fairly widely shared which was a fun surprise.

Expect good wallpaper and handwriting!

🔥 Let's prototype some native components in #LiveViewNative

In this entry we dig into modifiers and styles, building some of the most used components in any app, such as Modals and Menus.

#MyElixirStatus

@Prma thanks ❤️ fyi is all #elixir - using Phoenix Liveview (and surface) on the frontend :)

Needle also comes with two other homegrown libraries: needle_ulid which provides a ULID datatype for Ecto (using ex_ulid) and related helpers, and exto which enables extending Ecto schema definitions in config (especially useful for adding Mixin associations to different schemas)…

Besides regular schemas with universal foreign keys (Pointable), Needle provides Virtual for schemas that don’t have any fields on their own, and Mixin for storing common fields that can be re-used by multiple Pointables or Virtuals (eg. if you have multiple types that all have a name/description/body, they can share those and optionally the associated changesets and other logic).

But what if you don’t just have posts that can be liked, but also videos, images, polls, etc, each with their own table, but probably do not want to have to add liked_video_id, liked_image_id, ad infinitum?

We needed the flexibility to have a foreign key that can reference any referenceable object. We call our system Needle.

A simple example would be a blogging app, which might have a post table with author field that references the user table.

A social network, by contrast, usually requires a graph of objects, meaning objects need to be able to refer to other objects by their ID without knowing their type.

A simple example would be likes, you might have a likes table with liked_post_id field that references the post table.

Needle is an #elixir library that we have developed to provide universal foreign keys, shared data fields, and virtual & configurable schemas for Ecto.

I need someone to point me to a proper guide of ECTO, the online official guides are complete but too terse, too few examples.

@stefan@gardenstate.social @tom @stefan@stefanbohacek.online definitively! bonfire is an open source framework for building federated digital spaces. Almost all the features are developed in their own extensions (plugins) that admins can enable from a dashboard. Most of the features are even split between UI and backend, to ease UX experimentations without having to maintain forks.
The framework is written in #elixir
