Adding Layers to LiveView

Explore how to integrate Phoenix LiveView with OTP GenServer processes in Elixir. Understand setting up LiveView mount points, handling events to update state, and rendering dynamic interfaces. This lesson guides you through creating interactive real-time applications by organizing code with OTP dependencies and layering components effectively.

Since LiveView is an implementation of Phoenix Channels, the integration story for the two frameworks will be similar. Phoenix LiveView is a library for allowing highly interactive applications with impressive performance and bidirectional communication. That sounds much like Channels, but there’s an important distinction— LiveView does so with no custom JavaScript.

How it works

Here’s how LiveView goes about providing real-time user experiences with server-rendered HTML.
