Creating a user about live-view-chat HOT 7 CLOSED

If I recall correctly the tutorial branch has the starting state of the code for the blog post walk-through. Per this line from the blog post:

The starting state of the tutorial branch includes the chat domain model, routes, controller and the initial state of the LiveView, described below

You will find some completed code in the tutorial branch that takes care of the initial state of the app for the blog post. Then, the blog post walks you through adding additional features.

Hi @idkjs! You should be able to create a user through the browser like this:

• start the server with mix phx.server
• Visit the /users/new route
• Fill out the registration form and sign up!

Tried that. I get a browser error asking me to run migrations which doesn't work. I am afk and will try to get you a better error ASAP. Thank you.

@SophieDeBenedetto thank you. That helped and I see it was mentioned in #1 .

The readme says that the seed should have created some chats and users though it seems like it doesnt do anything.

This is the seed file:

# Script for populating the database. You can run it as:
#
#     mix run priv/repo/seeds.exs
#
# Inside the script, you can read and write to any of your
# repositories directly:
#
#     Chat.Repo.insert!(%Chat.SomeSchema{})
#
# We recommend using the bang functions (`insert!`, `update!`
# and so on) as they will fail if something goes wrong.

Here is the chats link in the browser.

I feel like i'm missing something since the code in tutorial branch doesnt seem to match what is in the tutorial. Am I missing something?

Thanks again for taking the time to teach.

Here is the terminal history if it helps: https://gist.github.com/idkjs/7ad9ecf509e3fa1933976a7e6270cea9

Hi again! You need to checkout the tutorial branch and work off of that. You can see that the seed file in the tutorial branch is populated https://github.com/elixirschool/live-view-chat/blob/tutorial/priv/repo/seeds.exs

Thanks. I kinda gave up on the tutorial branch because I didnt understand what we were supposed to be following along with. Is the tutorial branch a start position?

For example, the first step in the blog is

# lib/phat_web/controllers/chat_controller.ex

defmodule PhatWeb.ChatController do
  use PhatWeb, :controller
  alias Phat.Chats
  alias Phoenix.LiveView
  alias PhatWeb.ChatLiveView

  def show(conn, %{"id" => chat_id}) do
    chat = Chats.get_chat(chat_id)

    LiveView.Controller.live_render(
      conn,
      ChatLiveView,
      session: %{chat: chat, current_user: conn.assigns.current_user}
    )
  end
end

Then I see in the tutorial branch, that file has the following content:

So it looks its already been done or this has more code in it then your blog? Idk. What are we supposed to do here if we are following along.

Probably me. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Ok. Thank you. Given my inexperience with elixir, I did not know what to make of that line. I saw it but was guessing as to what exactly it affected. I will look at it again and try to think through more carefully. Thank you for taking the time, @SophieDeBenedetto .
