Implementing an Audit System in Phoenix LiveView Applications
The article provides a step-by-step guide to setting up an auditing mechanism in a Phoenix LiveView application, focusing on how to enhance lifecycle hooks to log admin user actions. It begins by defining what an 'action' is, which corresponds to hooks like mount, handle_params, and handle_event. By using specific macros and behaviors, developers can ensure every live view must explicitly define an audit function for lifecycle events, enhancing security and compliance. The author presents a simplified LiveAudit module example, showing how to integrate it into the live views for capturing and recording actions. This method is noted to involve boilerplate yet offers comprehensive logging across all user interactions with the application.
