Building a Slim Phoenix

A minimal rebuild of Phoenix to demonstrate various components of Phoenix, Plug, Cowboy.

The code is available at https://github.com/shankardevy/slim_phoenix. This repo is part of my upcoming book on Phoenix. It incrementally builds a simple Phoenix replica starting from using a plain cowboy integration and then building a router, controller, view and template on top of it one at a time.

If you are curious and can’t wait till the book the release, go clone the repo and run it locally. Checkout the repo to the initial commit and look for the changes with each new commit.
