Talk:
Tips & Tricks for Building an App With LiveView
Over the last few years I have learned various tips and tricks to build fun and interactive apps using LiveView.
During my talk I will explore three main areas:
- Optimizations I have found to improve the user experience, for example by reducing diff sizes.
- A library I built called live_sync (available on Hex), this was inspired by Jose’s talk last year and utilizes postgres replication to update LiveViews.
- Utilizing hooks, webcomponents, and javascript to enhance the frontend experience
Key Takeaways:
- Gain ideas for fun things to build in LiveView and possible ways to achieve them
Target Audience:
- Anyone working with LiveView or who wants to work with it
