Exploring Flop for Elixir Data Handling
The Thinking Elixir Podcast episode covers an interview with Mathias Polligkeit, the creator of the Flop library for Elixir. The library aims to provide developers with a standard way to perform filtering, ordering, and pagination of data in their applications. Flop integrates with Ecto, allowing easy manipulation of datasets. Additionally, Mathias developed flop_phoenix, which includes heex components to assist with building Elixir-powered web applications that require such data management features. The hosts, Mark Ericksen, David Bernheisel, and Cade Ward, delve into Mathias's motivations for creating the library, its core functionalities, how it stacks up against personal solutions the hosts have used and the possibility of it offering a better solution. The episode also touches upon community news, discussing upcoming Elixir features, various libraries, and tooling updates, which showcase continual growth and improvement within the Elixir ecosystem.
