RefData
RefData is my first open source library for the Elixir eco-system. The idea is that you can create and easily reuse reference/lookup data for you Phoenix projects without any database infrastructure. It is for data that is generally used for the presentation layer rather than complex SQL queries. I have provided some demo code below.
Phoenix.HTML.select
The example below shows a standard list of values for a dropdown box.
Data
ref_data/gender.json
{
'gender': ['Male', 'Female']
}
Code
my_page.html.eex
select(form, :role, MyRefData.get('gender'))
Result
The example below shows the results for grouped data.
Data
ref_data/countries.json
{
'countries':
[
{ 'Asia': ['Australia', 'New Zealand']},
{ 'Americas': ['Canada', 'USA']}
]
}
Code
my_page.html.eex
select(form, :role, MyRefData.get('countries'))
Result
The example below shows the results for data with disabled values.
Data
ref_data/gender.json
{
'gender': ['Male', 'Female']
}
Code
my_page.html.eex
select(form, :role, MyRefData.get('gender', disabled: ['Male']))
Result
