Generators & Page Builder
This produces the same files as Phoenix's
mix phx.gen.live (docs). The only difference is that the templates use Tailwind and Petal Components. You can try it out with: mix petal.gen.live Todos Todo todos label:string is_done:boolean
Add the routes from the output.
If you're wondering where to put the routes, you can search in the router file for the text "page_builder:live:protected", and add them straight after that line.
def PetalProWeb.Router do
...
scope "/", PetalProWeb do
pipe_through [
:browser,
:require_authenticated_user,
:kick_user_if_suspended_or_deleted,
:onboard_new_users
]
live_session :require_authenticated_user,
on_mount: {PetalProWeb.UserOnMountHooks, :require_authenticated_user} do
...
# page_builder:live:protected
live "/todos", TodoLive.Index, :index
live "/todos/new", TodoLive.Index, :new
live "/todos/:id/edit", TodoLive.Index, :edit
live "/todos/:id", TodoLive.Show, :show
live "/todos/:id/show/edit", TodoLive.Show, :edit
end
end
...
end
After running the generator: the "index" screen
The "new todo" screen
After creating a new todo
The "show" page
Example:
mix petal.gen.html Todos Todo todos label:string is_done:boolean
Usually, when you want to create a new page, you would have to create a new template file or live view file. Then you would create a route and point it either to the template's corresponding controller action, or directly to the live view.
To skip these steps, we made it so if you navigate to a path with no route on it then it will show what we call "The Page Builder" 👏. The Page Builder is simply a form that helps you construct a page at that route. Submitting the form will result in the route being automatically added to the
router.ex file and either a template or live view file is created for you.
