Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding phoenix_routes_js to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:phoenix_routes_js, "~> 0.1.1"}]
end

Two steps configuration:

1. Add possibility to use view helper by adding use PhoenixRoutesJs.View in template **_web/views/layout_view.ex file:

defmodule Project.LayoutView do
  ...
  import PhoenixRoutesJs.View
  ...
end

2. Add helper render_routes_script to you layout in **_web/templates/layout/app.html.eex before main javascript file:

  ...
  <%= render_routes_script(@conn) %>
  <script src="<%= static_path(@conn, "/js/app.js") %>"></script>
  ...
