 Introduction of Verified Routes

Phoenix 1.7 includes a new Phoenix.VerifiedRoutes feature which provides ~p for route generation with compile-time verification.

Use of the sigil_p macro allows paths and URLs throughout your application to be compile-time verified against your Phoenix router(s). For example the following path and URL usages:

<.link href={~p"/sessions/new"} method="post">Sign in</.link>

redirect(to: url(~p"/posts/#{post}"))

Will be verified against your standard Phoenix.Router definitions:

get "/posts/:post_id", PostController, :show
post "/sessions/new", SessionController, :create

Unmatched routes will issue compiler warnings:

warning: no route path for AppWeb.Router matches "/postz/#{post}"
  lib/app_web/controllers/post_controller.ex:100: AppWeb.PostController.show/2

Note: Elixir v1.14+ is required for comprehensive warnings. Older versions will work properly and warn on new compilations, but changes to the router file will not issue new warnings.

This feature replaces the Helpers module generated in your Phoenix router, but helpers will continue to work and be generated. You can disable router helpers by passing the helpers: false option to use Phoenix.Router.
