Tyler Barker @tylerbarker.com · 16/07/2025Phoenix LiveView 1.1 is an exciting release in a lot of ways, but the highlight for me is the JS is getting types! Huge thanks to the maintainers 💜 github.com/phoenixframe...github.com 0194

Reposted by Tyler BarkerChristopher Grainger @cigrainger.bsky.social · 01/04/2025So I've mentioned that I'm working on a new library for extremely pluggable/composable LLM workflows, especially agentic ones. I'm getting closer to opening that up. One thing that underpins this is the ability to use NimbleOptions for function calling and structured outputs via JSONSchema. 1/2 191
Tyler Barker @tylerbarker.com · 24/03/2025I’ve found for cases like this it’s pretty effective to create a project a curate a knowledge base to fill the holes.

Tyler Barker @tylerbarker.com · 18/02/2025Maybe the most amazing thing about Elixir to me pattern matching on binaries. Parsing a WAV file is almost as simple as writing down the file spec verbatim - look at this! #ElixirLang 6478

Tyler Barker @tylerbarker.com · 15/01/2025I don’t cover Solid but this article goes over a lot of the kinds of stuff I’m talking about: tylerbarker.com/posts/livevi...tylerbarker.comLiveView Is Not a Zero-JS Framework, It’s a Zero-Boring-JS Framework - Tyler BarkerA recent Twitter discussion about the “ceiling” of server-side rendered frameworks like Phoenix LiveView has caused quite a stir. Most of it was in good faith, and many devs have responded... 010
Tyler Barker @tylerbarker.com · 15/01/2025Yep! It’s helpful to pass the hook object (this) into the component as a prop. After you init signals in the component fn, setup your handleEvents with the hook obj to interact with LV, and fire any pushEvents to get initial data from LV before returning your HTML (Solid component fns run once). 100
Tyler Barker @tylerbarker.com · 15/01/2025Yep exactly. You just pass whatever HTMLElement you like, be it the hook.el or another you’ve queried for as the 2nd arg to render (the file needs to be JSX/TSX). 110
Tyler Barker @tylerbarker.com · 15/01/2025- I've not tried using Solid with E2E reactivity because I treat each usage like an embedded micro-frontend with handleEvent + pushEvent. - Multiple instances of a JS hook can share state if you return the hook object from a function and manage state in the closure. 130
Tyler Barker @tylerbarker.com · 15/01/2025- IndexedDB is great for persisting state across connections, I use it for audio files. - I often write hooks in a TSX file alongside Solid.js when I need it, it's very simple to render from mounted(). 230
Tyler Barker @tylerbarker.com · 15/01/2025I write a lot of front-end code for my LiveView app because it does client-side audio recording/playback/processing. A few takeaways: - Phoenix esbuild is great, but I much prefer the control I get from ejecting from that to a build.js file. - JS hooks can get you really, really far. 170
Tyler Barker @tylerbarker.com · 14/01/2025Haha that’s aliased to “pix” for me. Got it from a mentor at my first Elixir gig in 2018 and it stuck. 000

Tyler Barker @tylerbarker.com · 22/12/2024Actually I was thinking about sharing it as a template repo. I'm a little hesitant since TanStack Start is in beta but hey, why not. Give me a day or two and I'll reply here when I've got something for you ✌️ 140
Tyler Barker @tylerbarker.com · 22/12/2024I do a fair amount of audio processing in the browser for this app and it speeds that up nicely. 130

Tyler Barker @tylerbarker.com · 29/11/2024Elm was the first functional lang I ever wrote a meaningful amount of code in. I convinced a professor at uni to let me use it instead of the recommended Angular.js for an assignment. It was great! Evan is a legend 030

Tyler Barker @tylerbarker.com · 26/11/2024Working with LiveView everyday and still being tempted to rewrite all manner of things in Rust, Svelte, and [flavour of the month], has taught me your stack will never be shiny enough - just keep getting stuff done. 030
