Installation

Add ExTeal as a dependency in your mix.exs file:

def deps do
  [
    {:ex_teal, "~> 0.25"}
  ]
end

and configure Teal in config/config.exs:

# config/config.exs

config :ex_teal,
  repo: YourApp.Repo,
  manifest: YourAppWeb.ExTeal.Manifest

Teal scales as your business logic scales so we recommend adding a ex_teal directory in the web directory of your phoenix app to store teal resources, cards, dashboards and other files. Start your app with an empty manifest:

defmodule YourAppWeb.ExTeal.Manifest do
  use ExTeal.Manifest
  alias YourAppWeb.Endpoint

  def application_name, do: "Your cool app name"

  def logo_image_path, do: "#{Endpoint.url()}/images/favicon.png"

  def resources, do: []

  def plugins, do: []

  # defaults to /teal
  def path, do: "/admin"
end

and use your router to expose Teal to the web (guarding with appropriate pipelines for authentication and authorization.

  # lib/your_app_web/router.ex
  scope path: "/admin" do
    pipe_through [:browser, :authenticated]
    forward("/", ExTeal.Router, namespace: "admin")
  end

Visit /admin as an authenticated user and see all the cool :rocket:

Developing Teal

Update a project that uses Teal to point to your local repo:

  defp deps do
    [
      {:ex_teal, path: "../ex_teal"}
    ]

In the same project's dev config, configure Teal to use vue-cli generated assets rather than the compiled assets.

config :ex_teal, compiled_assets: false

In your local teal assets/ folder, host the assets by running yarn && yarn dev
