  • Dependabot: ExPlatform leverages Dependabot to keep dependencies up-to-date, ensuring that your Phoenix application remains secure and benefits from the latest updates.
  • Asdf Integration: ExPlatform includes Asdf integration, providing a .tool-versions file that specifies the required versions of all tools used. This simplifies version management and ensures consistency across development and deployment environments.
  • Eslint: ExPlatform includes Eslint for enforcing JavaScript code quality, helping to identify and fix common mistakes and maintain consistent coding standards.
  • Kaffy Admin: ExPlatform has an integrated Kaffy admin panel for easy management of administrative tasks, accessible via the /admin route.

Installation

To set up ExPlatform, follow these steps:

  1. Install asdf by following the installation instructions for your operating system. asdf is a version manager that will handle the installation of all the required tooling.
  2. Restart your terminal or shell to ensure that the asdf command is available.
  3. Install all the required plugins for asdf by running the following command:
    asdf plugin add elixir && asdf plugin add erlang && asdf plugin add nodejs && asdf plugin add postgres
  4. Install the necessary tools by running the following command:
    asdf install
    This will read the .tool-versions file in the project and install the specified versions of Elixir, Erlang, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.
  5. Install pre-commit by following the installation instructions available at https://pre-commit.com/.
  6. Launch the server by running the following command:
