Reviving Your Phoenix Context Design

In his latest article, Peter Ullrich revisits an earlier stance on Phoenix contexts in Elixir applications. He previously recommended eliminating the generated context and instead using dedicated repository, finder, and service modules. However, after further experience, he now advocates for resurrecting the Phoenix context and refining how it’s implemented. Ullrich argues that the initial design pattern was too module-oriented, leading to complexity in projects. He suggests that for small projects, using the standard context structure is sufficient, while larger projects benefit from separating CRUD operations into repositories and retaining only essential business logic within contexts. He provides an example of handling invoices to illustrate how to structure these changes. The article consolidates insights on effective software design using Elixir and encourages readers to explore more video content about these concepts.
