 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.

phx-new-revamp

 phx.new revamp

The phx.new application generator has been improved to rely on function components for both Controller and LiveView rendering, ultimately simplifying the rendering stack of Phoenix applications and providing better reuse.

New applications come with a collection of well-documented and accessible core components, styled with Tailwind CSS by default. You can opt-out of Tailwind CSS with the --no-tailwind flag (the Tailwind CSS classes are kept in the generated components as reference for future styling).
