#Liberator Example

This library demonstrates how to use the Liberator library to create controllers that respect the HTTP specificiation.

Check out the file at lib\liberator_example_web\controllers\post_controller.ex for an example of a controller using Liberator to pass Phoenix's generated controller tests.

#How it was made

This project was built using Phoenix generators. First, a new Phoenix project was created.

mix phx.new liberator_example --no-webpack --no-html

Then, in that project, we generated the LiberatorExample.Blog context, with a LiberatorExample.Blog.Post object. This generates a controller and an associated test module.

mix phx.gen.context Blog Post posts title:string content:string

We also added the associated resources directive to LiberatorExampleWeb.Router.

scope "/api", LiberatorExampleWeb do
  pipe_through :api

  # You can use `Phoenix.Router.resources/4` with a Liberator resource.
  resources "/posts", PostController, except: [:new, :edit]
end

However, we then deleted the contents of LiberatorExampleWeb.PostController and replaced with a Liberator resource module. Just enough functionality was added to the resource module to make the existing controller tests pass.

Questions and pull requests are more than welcome. I follow Elixir's tenet of bad documentation being a bug, so if anything is unclear, please let me know in our mailing list! Ideally, my answer to your question will be in an update to the docs.
