Does it support custom middleware?

Absolutely, it provides templates and guidance for creating custom Plugs to handle cross-cutting concerns like logging, auth, and header injection.

Is this skill compatible with Phoenix LiveView?

While focused on core architecture like Contexts and Plugs, these patterns form the essential backend foundation for any LiveView application.

How does this skill help with Elixir error handling?

It implements Fallback Controllers to centralize error responses, such as 404s or changeset validation errors, across your entire application.

What is the 'Thin Controller, Fat Context' pattern?

It is a Phoenix best practice where business logic stays in Context modules, leaving Controllers to handle only the request/response flow and parameter parsing.

Can I use this for Phoenix API development?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for JSON APIs, including specialized API pipelines, authentication plugs, and RESTful resource routing.
