# Phoenix Flake Template
# BoardWise Website
This is a template for constructing a environment for Elixir development
(version 1.15.7, Erlang/OTP 25) with the [Phoenix](https://www.phoenixframework.org/)
(version 1.7.10) framework. [direnv](https://direnv.net/) can be used to launch
a dev shell upon entering this directory (refer to `.envrc`). Otherwise run via:
```bash
$ nix develop
```
This is the repository containing both the [Phoenix](https://www.phoenixframework.org/)
backend and [React](https://react.dev/) frontend of [boardwise.gg](https://www.boardwise.gg).
We use [nix](https://nixos.org/) for both development and release.
## Quickstart
An empty Postgres cluster is initialized at `/db`. To start the database, run
the following:

`/db`:

Once the database is running, you can invoke the following Phoenix setup

## Dependencies
## Release
To create a new [Mix release](https://hexdocs.pm/mix/1.12/Mix.Tasks.Release.html),
run `nix build` (after updating dependencies as outlined in the below sections).
You can test the release is functional by running:
```bash
$ export DATABASE_URL=ecto://<username>:<password>@<host>/<db_name>
$ export SECRET_KEY_BASE=$(mix phx.gen.secret)

## Development
It's strongly advised to use `nix develop` when performing local development.
