== Phoenix == [[File:Phoenix Framework logo.png|thumb|right|The Phoenix logo]] '''Phoenix''' is a [[web framework]] written in [[Elixir (programming language)|Elixir]] that follows the model-view-controller (MVC) architectural pattern. It is designed to build web applications with high reliability, scalability, and performance. === History === Phoenix was created by Chris McCord and first released in 2014. Its development was inspired by frameworks such as Ruby on Rails and Django. Since its release, Phoenix has gained popularity within the Elixir community and has become one of the most widely used frameworks for building web applications with Elixir. === Features === Phoenix provides a comprehensive set of features to make web development in Elixir efficient and enjoyable. Some of the key features include: * '''Scalability:''' Phoenix is designed to handle high loads and large-scale applications. It utilizes the Erlang virtual machine, known for its ability to handle concurrent processes efficiently. * '''Real-time functionality:''' Phoenix channels enable bidirectional communication between clients and servers, allowing developers to build real-time applications such as chat services and live dashboards. * '''Productivity:''' Phoenix emphasizes convention over configuration, providing sensible defaults that allow developers to focus on writing application logic rather than boilerplate code. * '''Performance:''' Phoenix is known for its performance and speed. It leverages the lightweight and highly concurrent nature of the Elixir programming language and the Erlang virtual machine. * '''Testing:''' Phoenix comes with built-in support for testing, making it easy to write tests for applications and ensure their reliability. === Components === ==== Ecto ==== [[Ecto]] is a database wrapper and query language for Elixir. It integrates seamlessly with Phoenix, providing a robust and flexible way to interact with databases. ==== Plug ==== [[Plug (Elixir)|Plug]] is a composable middleware specification for Elixir. It acts as a web interface layer and provides a unified way to handle HTTP requests and responses. ==== File Structure ==== Phoenix follows a standard file structure that promotes organization and modularity. The main components of a Phoenix application include models, views, controllers, channels, and templates. === Resources === - [https://phoenixframework.org/ Official Phoenix Website] - [https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix Phoenix Documentation]
