I’m starting a new Phoenix 1.3 application and following along with the PragProg book for authentication. The book says to put auth.ex plug code into the controllers directory. Is that still the canonical directory to put plugs? That kind of makes sense to me but after years of rails developm…

I put them in the lib/web/plugs folder.

So in Phx 1.3 final that would be lib/my_app_web/plugs alongside the controllers, channels, etc directories?

Yeah, I guess. I usually call the “web interface” otp app just that, web, so for me it’s apps/web/lib/web/plugs actually. But that’s only relevant if you structure your app as an umbrella project.

Where do you put plugs in codebase?
