Exemplary real world application built with Elixir + Phoenix

Elixir (Phoenix) codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the RealWorld spec and API.

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged backend application built with Elixir and Phoenix including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.

We've gone to great lengths to adhere to the credo community styleguides & best practices.

For more information on how to this works with other frontends/backends, head over to the RealWorld repo.
