UXIDs in Elixir/Ecto

Speaker:
Adam Kirk


Abstract:

I want to present a unique way of doing UXIDs in elixir that is really easy to set up. When using UXIDs in elixir, a lot of things get much cleaner. You can:

  • Auto link ids in a liveview admin app
  • Automatically & universally figure out permissions (can this user see this id)
  • Map ids to schemas by prefix
  • Pattern match ids by prefix

I’d love to show people how easy they are to set up and use and then then the many advantages.

Key Takeaways:

  • They should try using UXIDs
  • It’s easy
  • There are a lot of advantages and it makes a lot of things easier

Target Audience:

  • Web developers
