Manually

1. Clone Elixir templates project to your local directory.

2. Create a new project using mix phx.new sample_project or mix new sample_project command

3. Answer the prompt Fetch and install dependencies? [Yn] with n (not install)

4. Change directory into sample_project using cd sample_project command

5. Edit mix.exs file and add this line to the dependencies.

{:nimble_template, "~> 3.0", path: "~/elixir-templates", only: :dev, runtime: false}

Modify the path to locate the elixir-templates directory. For example ~/elixir-templates if inside the home directory.

6. Then go back to the Terminal and run

mix do deps.get, deps.compile

7. Choose which template you want to use inside your project

• Web: mix nimble_template.gen --web
• Live: mix nimble_template.gen --live
• API: mix nimble_template.gen --api

8. Answer the interactive prompt that will be displayed during the setup

Using the Makefile

1. Clone Elixir templates project to your local directory.

2. Generate a new Phoenix project

• Web project: make create_phoenix_project PROJECT_DIRECTORY=sample_project OPTIONS="--no-live"
• Live project: make create_phoenix_project PROJECT_DIRECTORY=sample_project OPTIONS=""
• API project: make create_phoenix_project PROJECT_DIRECTORY=sample_project OPTIONS="--no-html --no-assets --no-live"

3. Answer the prompt Fetch and install dependencies? [Yn] with n (not install)

4. Apply the template

• Web variant: make apply_phoenix_template PROJECT_DIRECTORY=sample_project VARIANT=web
• Live variant: make apply_phoenix_template PROJECT_DIRECTORY=sample_project VARIANT=live
• API variant: make apply_phoenix_template PROJECT_DIRECTORY=sample_project VARIANT=api
