== Phoenix Presence == [[File:Phoenix Presence Logo.png|thumb|right|The Phoenix Presence logo]] '''Phoenix Presence''' is a powerful real-time presence tracking library provided by the [[Phoenix Framework]] for applications built using the [[Elixir (programming language)|Elixir programming language]]. It allows developers to easily track and manage the presence of users or any other entities in the system, making it ideal for building collaborative applications such as chat applications, multiplayer games, and live user activity tracking. === Features === Phoenix Presence offers the following key features: * Presence tracking: Phoenix Presence provides a simple and efficient way to track the presence of users or entities. It allows you to know who is currently online, as well as their current status. * Real-time updates: With Phoenix Presence, you can receive real-time updates whenever the presence of a user or entity changes. This enables you to build interactive and responsive applications that can react to changes in the presence of users, such as updating user lists or notifying other users. * Advanced querying: The library provides powerful querying capabilities, allowing you to filter and query the presence data based on different attributes. This allows you to easily find and work with specific subsets of users or entities. * Scalability: Phoenix Presence is designed to scale well with the number of online users or entities. It uses an efficient algorithm to track the presence, minimizing the overhead on your application's performance. === Usage === To use Phoenix Presence in your Elixir application, you first need to add it as a dependency in your project's mix.exs file: ```elixir defp deps do [ {:phoenix_presence, "~> x.x.x"} ] end ``` After adding the dependency, you need to start the presence tracker in your Phoenix application's supervision tree: ```elixir defmodule MyApp.Application do use Application def start(_type, _args) do children = [ # ... {Phoenix.Presence, [:tracker]} ] # ... end end ``` Once the presence tracker is started, you can start tracking the presence of users or entities using the provided functions, such as `join/3`, `leave/3`, and `track/3`. These functions allow you to add users to a specific presence topic and manage their presence status. === Examples === Here are a few examples of how Phoenix Presence could be used: * '''Chat application''': Phoenix Presence can be used to track the presence of users in a chat room and display their online status to other users. It can also be used to track the active users in the chat in order to optimize the notifications and updates sent to them. * '''Collaborative document editing''': Phoenix Presence can help track the presence of users in a collaborative document editing application. By knowing who is currently editing a document, the application can implement real-time collaboration features like highlighting the cursors or displaying the currently active users. * '''Real-time notifications''': Phoenix Presence can be used to track the presence of users who are subscribed to specific notifications or events. This allows the application to send real-time notifications to the active users only, improving the efficiency and responsiveness of the notification system. === Conclusion === Phoenix Presence provides a reliable and efficient solution for tracking the presence of users or entities in Elixir applications. With its real-time updates and advanced querying capabilities, it is a valuable tool for building collaborative and interactive applications. By integrating Phoenix Presence into your application, you can enhance the user experience and create powerful real-time features. == See Also == * [[Phoenix Framework]] * [[Elixir (programming language)]] * [[Chat application]] * [[Collaborative document editing]] * [[Real-time notifications]]
