This is a simple experiment to learn a bit of Elixir and the Phoenix framework.
The idea is to create a simple application to maintain a "catalog" of items, divided in sections. Each item and section then has a cover image and a title, and items also have description and tags.
This application exports the result of the catalog to a directory containing a JSON file (describing the whole structure) and all the images, including thumbnails in the specified sizes.
Then, a front-end application can be written that reads the JSON file and shows the catalog without the need for a back-end. This second application is supposed to be custom. See eg. https://github.com/emanchado/rpg-catalog.
- Install dependencies with
mix deps.get - Create and migrate your database with
mix ecto.create && mix ecto.migrate - Install Node.js dependencies with
npm install - Start Phoenix endpoint with
mix phoenix.server
Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.
