I’m in love with LiveView havent done much Elixir yet but I do Django and have done ASP .NET in the past. I think its a brilliant concept. The only thing kind of holding me back on using Phoenix with personal projects and ideas is really the authentication stuff not being built-in (or when I looked I got this impression). I’m curious do you ever see Phoenix being fully supporting all the vitals or was your decision not to include authentication based on modern approaches differing like JWTs and such? Curious I am definitely going to use it in the future. As a backend nerd I always held love for Erlang and I think Phoenix / Elixir are my real way into the ecosystem.


The Phoenix 1.6 release candidate has been out for a few weeks, and we now include a `phx.gen.auth` generator for a fully bootstrapped authentication solution: https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/1.6.0-rc.1/mix_phx_gen_auth.html


Nice! I'm glad to see this, I'll definitely see about trying this out soon then. So I guess its really just a matter of time while Phoenix grows. Although from what I've seen it seems to have everything else I need.


There's been some progress on this front, I believe:
