Fun with Phoenix Channels, Flux and React

An experiment built to play with various concepts including:

• the Phoenix Framework
• Phoenix Channels and GenEvent handlers
• React and Flux
• 6to5
• Immutable
• Browserify

Basic concept

Running

To start the Phoenix application:

1. Make sure you have Redis installed and running.
2. Install dependencies with mix deps.get
3. Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phoenix.server

To start the client:

1. cd web/js
2. Install dependencies with npm install
3. Compile and watch the client code with npm start

Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.

... or watch it here.

Releasing

First, build the minified version of the client:

1. cd web/js/
2. Build the bundle with npm run build

Then create the release and start the application:

1. export MIX_ENV=prod
2. mix release
3. rel/ex_react_ws/bin/ex_react_ws start

Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.
