Blog: Posts

You’re going to create the Posts resource in your Blog project.

Blog posts should have a title, subtitle, and content. It should also have relevant timestamp information.

classDiagram
  class Post {
    title: :string
    subtitle: :string
    content: :text
  }

You may use Phoenix Generators or create the Controller, Context, and other infrastructure for the post resource or you may create it all from scratch.

Example Solution

Generate the resource.

$ mix phx.gen.html Posts Post posts title:string subtitle:string content:text
$ mix ecto.migrate

Then add the resource to router.ex.

scope "/", BlogWeb do
  pipe_through :browser

  get "/", PageController, :index
  resources "/posts", PostController
end

Alternatively we can define every route individually.

scope "/", BlogWeb do
  pipe_through :browser

  get "/", PageController, :index
  get "/posts", PostController, :index
  get "/posts/new", PostController, :new
  post "/posts", PostController, :create
  get "/posts/:id", PostController, :show
  get "/posts/:id/edit", PostController, :edit
  put "/posts/:id", PostController, :update
  patch "/posts/:id", PostController, :update
  delete "/posts/:id", PostController, :delete
end
