Reference table with how the defaults changed from Phoenix v1.6 to v1.7. This was done to unify the developer experience between regular Phoenix and LiveView.
| Feature | Phoenix v1.6 | Phoenix v1.7 |
|---|---|---|
MyController.action/2 renders |
MyView.render("action.html", assigns) |
MyHTML.action(assigns) |
| Define views at | lib/my_app/views/my_view.ex |
lib/my_app/controllers/my_html.ex |
| At the top of your views | use MyAppWeb, :view |
use MyAppWeb, :html |
| Default template language | EEx (.eex extension) |
HEEx (.heex extension) |
| To embed templates from disk | use Phoenix.View |
use Phoenix.Component (+ embed_templates) |
| HTML helpers (forms, links, etc) | use Phoenix.HTML |
use Phoenix.Component |
PS: Phoenix v1.7 is backwards compatible with v1.6 if you want to keep with the old style.
