Backpex - a highly customizable admin panel for Phoenix LiveView applications

Backpex v0.13: Refactoring…

Last week, we released Backpex v0.13, which features significant internal changes: A Backpex LiveResource module is no longer a single LiveView. We have split things up into Index, Form (Edit and New) and Show LiveViews, which are generated at compile time. These changes have had little impact on the configuration of the LiveResource for Backpex users. However, if you used LiveView callbacks (handle_event, handle_info, etc.) to add custom logic, there is now a new way to do so via the on_mount option. Make sure you read the Upgrade Guide.

This was an important step towards improving the code structure and making further improvements to the core codebase.

Other improvements include:

  • You can now add help text to fields, which is displayed below the input.
  • Server-error and client-error alerts have been added to the flash_messages component.

As always: Thanks to all contributors! :heart:
