Use Elixir concepts such as metaprogramming to build maintainable web products with clean code Key Features Explore the various web servers available to build robust web applications Leverage Elixir's powerful Plug module to build a request-response pipeline Explore advanced techniques of Elixir to create Domain-Specific languages and build scalable, maintainable web products Book DescriptionElixir's functional nature and metaprogramming capabilities make it an ideal language for building web frameworks, with Phoenix being the most ubiquitous framework in the Elixir ecosystem and a popular choice for companies seeking scalable web-based products. With an ever-increasing demand for Elixir engineers, developers can accelerate their careers by learning Elixir and the Phoenix web framework. With Build Your Own Web Framework in Elixir, you'll start by exploring the fundamental concepts of web development using Elixir. You'll learn how to build a robust web server and create a router to direct incoming requests to the correct controller. Then, you'll learn to dispatch requests to controllers to respond with clean, semantic HTML, and explore the power of Domain-Specific Languages (DSL) and metaprogramming in Elixir. You'll develop a deep understanding of Elixir's unique syntax and semantics, allowing you to optimize your code for performance and maintainability. Finally, you'll discover how to effectively test each component of your application for accuracy and performance. By the end of this book, you'll have a thorough understanding of how Elixir components are implemented within Phoenix, and how to leverage its powerful features to build robust web applications.What you will learn Develop a deep understanding of Phoenix Use metaprogramming with Elixir Get to grips with web development fundamentals Dispatch a request to a controller and respond using HTML embedded with Elixir Use OTP constructs to add concurrency to the web server Streamline your router using Error Handler Who this book is forThis book is for web developers seeking to deepen their understanding of Elixir's role in the Phoenix framework. Basic familiarity with Elixir is a must.
